CLOUD ADVISORYSERVICES

Cloud computing solves many of the challenges faced by enterprise organisations from reducing infrastructure and license costs to providing greater scalability, faster access to infrastructure, higher availability, and faster time to market for applications. With over 85% of organisations already running applications in the cloud or planning to do so in the next 12 months*, it’s clear that the cloud is already delivering on these benefits.

However, it’s important that you pick and choose the right approach, whether that is a mix of public, private or a hybrid cloud deployment. If you’re just starting to consider the cloud or are already utilising services from other providers, we can help you define a more strategic approach with our Cloud Readiness Assessment – it enables us to develop a tailored strategy based on the complexity of your business, project(s), and desired scale of implementation. Our assessment can help you build a successful migration plan to include:

• Evaluation of application and systems pre-production

• Assessing project suitability for the migration of a solution/system/server(s) to the cloud

• Assessing formal business cases and potential business models

• Guidance on, and selection of, available infrastructures and tools

• Advice on, and selection of, the right processes to adopt

• Sound regulation, governance and security advice

• Architectural guidance on how to build global applications

• Support and training needed to facilitate a seamless internal transition and adoption

Introducing Sogeti’s Cloud Advisory Services

Dynamic business growth through cloud computing

Sogeti and Microsoft Azure

One solution we offer is Azure - Microsoft’s cloud-based, pay-as-you-go, platform for developing, managing, and hosting applications. It consists of the cloud operating system SQL, BI and a full suite of .NET tools.

As a Gold Microsoft partner, and multiple Microsoft award winner for many years now, we are perfectly placed to provide the guidance and support you need to develop a business-benefits based case for a partial or entire application migration to Microsoft Azure.

Our flexible cloud solutions

On Microsoft Azure you can build, test and deploy applications using any language, tool or framework. The platform presents enterprise businesses with a unique opportunity to utilise the latest Microsoft technology such as SharePoint, Office, SQL, and Lync on a pay per use basis, removing upfront licensing and ongoing infrastructure and support costs.

Affordable, flexible, scalable and convenient – Microsoft Azure supports businesses who may encounter:

• A need to off-load infrastructure• Workload spikes• Unpredictable growth• Periodic workloads• Provisioning of highly available services

In addition, we have developed a customised solution on Azure - a highly unique self-servicing portal called OneShare. This can be instantly leveraged and together with Sogeti’s Managed Services, OneShare provides you with access to a complete end-to-end development and test solution in the cloud.
