Capabilities

Everything from the landing zone to the on-call rota.

The first seven are disciplines; the last three are the platforms we run them on. Each stands alone as an engagement, and most programs combine three — usually a migration, the pipelines to support it, and the cost discipline to keep it viable.

Cloud Migration & Modernization

Lifting the workloads is the easy part.

Anyone can rehost a VM. What decides whether a migration was worth doing is the target architecture underneath it, the wave sequencing that keeps the business running, and the cost structure you inherit for the next five years.

Landing Zones & Architecture

Guardrails before workloads.

Account structure, network design, identity, and policy set up once and enforced automatically, so the tenth team to onboard cannot undo what the first one got right.

DevOps Consulting & CI/CD

Make releases boring.

When a release needs a bridge call, teams batch changes. Batches grow, large batches fail, and failures take a weekend to unpick. We shrink the batch, then work alongside your engineers until deploying on a Thursday afternoon is unremarkable.

Infrastructure as Code

Environments you can rebuild, not just repair.

Terraform modules, version control, and drift detection, so a claim that something works on staging becomes verifiable rather than hopeful.

Cloud-Native Engineering

Built for the platform, not just hosted on it.

Containers, Kubernetes, serverless, and service boundaries that make scaling a configuration change rather than a project.

DevSecOps & Cloud Security

Security inside the pipeline.

Scanning, secrets management, and posture monitoring built into delivery, so security becomes a gate that passes rather than a review that delays.

Managed Cloud Operations

Someone awake when it breaks.

Round-the-clock monitoring, patching, backup, and disaster recovery under an SLA, across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Amazon Web Services

Where most of our cloud estate work lives.

Landing zones through Control Tower, native service architecture, and Well-Architected reviews that find the things a migration deferred.

Microsoft Azure

The default where Microsoft already runs the business.

Landing zones, Entra ID, and native services — with the integration into Microsoft 365, Dynamics, and Power Platform that usually decides the choice.

Google Cloud

Usually chosen for the data workloads.

BigQuery and the analytics stack are the common entry point, with container and application workloads following once the data platform proves itself.

Migrated already and not seeing the benefit?

Tell us what moved and what changed afterwards. The answer is usually one of three things — the landing zone was deferred, the pipeline never followed, or nothing was ever right-sized. We can tell you which in a fortnight.

Book a review

By industry

The constraint that shapes the architecture.

Autoscaling for peak trading and segmentation across an operational technology boundary are not the same engineering problem. Select a sector.

Insurance

Core platforms moving to vendor cloud on the vendor's schedule, while everything integrated around them still runs on your own infrastructure. Most of the work is in that seam.

Core platform cloud readiness

Preparing the integration estate for Guidewire and Duck Creek cloud releases.

Release cadence

Getting from quarterly releases to a cadence that matches vendor updates.

Regulatory evidence

Change and access evidence produced automatically rather than assembled for audit.

Disaster recovery

Recovery objectives tested rather than documented and assumed.

Where we start

Pipeline and environment work around the core platform, measured against release lead time.

How we deliver

Measured before, monitored after.

Cloud and DevOps work is easy to claim and hard to prove. These four commitments make it provable, and they are worth asking any partner to match.

01
DORA metrics baselined before we change anythingDeployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and restore time measured at the start, so improvement is a number rather than an impression.
02
No lift-and-shift without a target architectureIf moving a workload as-is only relocates the problem, we will say so and price the alternative rather than take the easier scope.
03
Run cost modelled before migrationSteady-state spend is forecast at design time and monitored after, because the invoice in month six is what turns a successful migration into a regret.
04
Infrastructure code and runbooks handed overEverything we build is version controlled in your repositories with runbooks written during the work, so you can run it or replace us without an archaeology project.
