Areas of focus:

  • Cloud Environment

  • Data Storage
  • Backup-Recovery
  • Exchange Servers
  • SharePoint Systems

Based on the findings, the consultation team presents a customised cloud migration roadmap that outlines the necessary steps, timelines, and resources required for a successful transition. The roadmap includes recommendations for cloud platforms, service models (such as Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, or Software-as-a-Service), and deployment options (public, private, or hybrid cloud).

IT-Management Cloud Usage Assessment Report

Our end point product is a formal Assessment Report, which will outline our understanding of your Cloud environment and explain our interpretations and opinions of your position. It will be in a format that you can take in part, or completely, to firm leadership to make case for areas to focus on, or recommended additions of services or solutions to enhance your usage of the Cloud and Cloud-based solutions.


The report highlights the options and potentials for additional enablement through expanded use of the Cloud. Special emphasis is placed on Cloud usage for secure backup- recovery. Also, the potentials for increasing end-user IT system usage efficiency will be outlined and compared to known best practices by firms of similar nature.
