APPROACH

A streamlined, well-defined approach to help you adopt the cloud.

Strategy

Begin with a discovery and envisioning session to develop a roadmap that meets your budget, timeline, and motivations for cloud transformation.

Educate & Assess

Our in-depth educational engagements cover concepts and common challenges with cloud adoption, followed by one or more assessments of your environment, app portfolio, data, or security.

Architect & Implement

Based on your current and projected needs, a foundational design and governance approach is established in an architectural design session. The build-out and implementation follow this up.

Migrate & Modernize

Prove and validate the platform using a lead horse application before migrating your workloads, modernizing in Azure, or reimagining the applications with the latest cloud services.

Automate & Scale

Scale your cloud quickly with automated provisioning and tooling to build or migrate compliant and innovative applications.

Evolve & Maintain

Continue to evolve, innovate, maintain, and elevate your team with support from our Managed Services team for operations and maintenance.

Better, faster cloud outcomes with CDF.

Cloud adoption backed by experience.

The market moves fast. Your mission needs change. Technology updates happen each day, hour, minute. You can’t afford the cost of slow cloud progress; our mission is to deliver faster business outcomes. We took the saying “work smarter, not harder” and put it into practice with our opinionated guidance and resources on how our clients can successfully modernize their organizations in the cloud.

  • Cloud strategy and readiness
  • Workload landing zone construction
  • Application migration

CDF Backlog

Guidance and resources sourced from experience.

Kick-off projects with a concrete set of tasks that can be used to orchestrate projects and guidance backed by a Git repository. Our project managers, technical leads, and engineers are supported by a concrete backlog of work that can be used to orchestrate a successful cloud adoption engagement without relying on full-time support from subject matter experts (SMEs).

The expertise of these SMEs is well documented, extending their knowledge of successful cloud project execution, lessons learned, best practices, and artifacts. Teams are armed with initial backlogs, deliverable samples, starter files, and other supporting content to accompany the backlog, fully adaptable to client requirements.

Teams across our company can contribute to the internally open-sourced framework. From consultants to deeply technical engineers, our teams are helping AIS deliver better, faster cloud outcomes for our clients.
