Types of Project Management
System Integration
1: IaaS
Are you looking to start your cloud journey, but not ready to reinvent the wheel? IaaS migrations, sometimes called lift and shift, are a great way to get out of the constraints of your existing data centers or co-locations. We will work with you to design the right infrastructure from network and firewalls to virtual machines and storage in order to achieve a highly secured and low latency environment all while keeping your budget in mind.
2: PaaS
Have you decided that you are ready to modernize your platform? Implementing a PaaS first approach can be a daunting task if you don’t have experience on staff. Let us help you choose the right approach and the right PaaS services to achieve your goals. Some key questions you should ask yourself include, What are my SLAs? What Disaster Recovery requirements do I need? Is my team ready to modernize?
3: SaaS
This is a wide-open world with many offerings from data management, accounting, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and HRIS to just name a few. SaaS can take two approaches either you are ready to adopt other companies offering or you are ready to bring your product offering to the world as a SaaS-based solution we can help. Our team has hands-on experience in both adopting and bringing service offerings to market on both Azure and AWS. Let’s talk about where you are in the journey and help guide your decision.
System Modernization
Storage Capacity Expansion
Are you tired of hearing about storage problems in your data center? Infrastructure team stressed with the struggles to manage available storage and issues with supply chains? Take away those stresses and make your teams happier by implementing a tiered storage approach that leverages the various storage options available from cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS. We will work with you to understand not only how much storage you need now but also help map out your growth and design an approach that gives you capacity all while keeping your budget in mind.
Shifting Central Databases
We have all heard for years now how important data is to any company. Yet many are still treating their data the same way they did 20 years ago. Moving your key database systems to the cloud can bring about a million questions: How will we access the data? Is it secure? How can we monitor it? Our team has migrated thousands of databases to the cloud all while answering these questions and providing a highly available, durable, performant, and secure solution.
Cloud Migration
IaaS, PaaS, SaaS which one or combination is right for you? To be honest this depends on your timeline, business drivers, and IT staff you already have. We will work with you to balance all the needs together and choose the approach that will meet your immediate needs while keeping the future in mind. A common approach we encounter is starting with a lift and shift and laying out then how to adopt a cloud-native approach over the course of 6-24 months. The key is to establish achievable goals and get immediate impact.
Introduction of an Additional System
Are you ready if the business needs to add a new system? What would you do if you acquired or merged with another business? These are questions many companies are faced with on a regular basis. What we find in many cases is that we are called in at the last minute when it’s an emergency, let’s us help get you ahead of the curve and plan for the future before it comes. The right approach from the beginning will give you peace of mind for the challenges that lay ahead.
Data Management
Are you still managing your data just like you did 20 years ago? Struggling with the massive growth in your database sizes or demands from your end-users? Tired of production systems being impacted by a rouge user running a query? Let us work with you to understand your data, business needs, analytics needs, and application needs. We have been where you are today and designed systems and migrations that allow all use cases to be taken into consideration. No longer are you limited to traditional systems such as Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL, while these may be part of your data ecosystem adding modern data solutions like Snowflake, Synapse, Redshift, and Databricks will allow you to meet your needs both today and tomorrow.
