Cloud Readiness Review

Before leaping in, understand what systems and data are best suited to the Cloud and determine the overall cost benefit.

The option for infrastructure provisioning is growing and with it comes various considerations and risks around how IT services are delivered to the business, where they live and who is responsible for their continuity.

Maclean’s “Ready For Cloud” consulting service is designed to guide organisations through the many options for hosted infrastructure. We make the decision making process easier by providing advice, estimated costs and risks/benefits analysis.

Benefits

  • Understanding what is best suited for the Cloud – applications, data landscapes and business needs
  • Ensuring your IT network is ready for offsite IT service delivery – redundancy and resiliency
  • Scale and grow when you need to – understand the demand flexibility you require

Deliverables

1. IT Services Readiness Report

The core systems the business relies on will be reviewed, with the focus on their potential cloud readiness and the relative cost to host on the various ‘cloud’ platforms in the market.

2. Network Readiness Report

A high level report of your network’s suitability for ‘cloud’ services. This will include suggested resilience, redundancy and performance improvements and relative costs involved in making your network ‘cloud ready’.

3. Cost Benefit Analysis

A simple cost analysis of your existing IT expenditure and the prospective IT costs of a cloud-based infrastructure solution. This will provide a conservative estimate of the potential cost savings or improved IT services associated with a migration to the ‘cloud’.
