Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Google.
We hold partner relationships with Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Google, and we deliver on all three. That means we can meet a program where its data already lives instead of pushing the one platform we happen to know.
What this covers
Why three platforms and not one
A firm that only knows one cloud will recommend that cloud. Federal programs rarely get to start clean. There is already an identity system, already a data store, already a contract. Working across all three major platforms means our recommendation can follow the mission instead of following our comfort zone.
Migration
We inventory what exists, sort it into what moves as is, what gets rebuilt, and what should be retired, then sequence the moves so the mission keeps running. The retirement list is usually the most valuable part, and the part most migrations skip.
Modernization
Moving a server into a cloud is not modernization. We rebuild the parts where it pays: identity and access, automated deployment, monitoring, backup and recovery that has actually been tested, and cost controls so the bill does not become its own program risk.
Operations
Once it is running, we can run it: patching, monitoring, incident response, capacity, and the reporting the government needs to see. Or we can train your team to run it and step back. Both are fine. We will tell you which one fits your staffing.
Identity and access first
Almost every cloud problem we get called into turns out to be an identity problem. We treat identity, access, and logging as the foundation of the build rather than as a task at the end.
What you get
The deliverables, named.
- Current state inventory
- What is running, what it depends on, what it costs, and what can be retired.
- Migration plan
- Wave by wave sequence with dependencies, test criteria, rollback points, and dates.
- Landing zone build
- Accounts or subscriptions, identity and access design, network design, logging, and guardrails.
- Operations runbooks
- Written procedures for patching, backup, recovery, and incident response, tested before handover.
- Cost and usage reporting
- Visibility into what is being spent and where, with the controls to keep it in bounds.
When this is a fit
Bring us in when this sounds familiar.
- A migration started and stalled halfway between environments.
- The cloud bill is growing and nobody can explain which workload is driving it.
- Identity and access grew organically and now nobody can audit it.
- Backups exist but a real restore has never been tested.
- The program is on more than one cloud and needs one team across them.
- A prime needs a partner who can deliver on whichever platform the customer already has.
Who stands behind this
The technical judgment has a name.
Migration sequencing is the part that decides whether a cutover holds. Read about the infrastructure consulting background behind how we plan them.
Questions about cloud and technology partners
We hold partner relationships with Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Google. Program specific designations are confirmed in writing during teaming rather than advertised on a web page.
Our value is engineering and operations, not markup on consumption. We will work inside whatever purchasing path the program already has.
Yes, and the region and authorization requirements shape the design from the start. Send us the requirement and we will confirm the specifics in writing.
Yes. Handover and training are a normal part of the scope, and we would rather leave a program self sufficient than manufacture a dependency.
The named engineer who planned the cutover, and a rollback path agreed in writing before the window opens. We do not schedule a cutover without one. If the rollback is used we tell you the same day what triggered it and what changes before the next attempt.
The environment, the runbooks, and the access model are documented as they are built and stay in your tenancy throughout. Handover and training are normal scope. We would rather leave a platform your staff can run than one that needs us on retainer.
