What this engagement includes
We establish or refactor how you consume public cloud: accounts or subscriptions, VPCs or VNets, central logging, backup expectations, and guardrails for new workloads.
Hybrid and multi-cloud topologies are supported where that is your operating reality; design choices favour operability and clear ownership.
How we deliver
We tailor and sequence these workstreams around your priorities, timeline, and internal constraints.
Architecture
Reference diagrams, region strategy, and service selection with cost notes.
Landing zone
Accounts/subscriptions, IAM baseline, networking, and security services.
Platform tooling
CI integration, secrets, image/registry strategy, and tagging policy.
FinOps hooks
Budgets, anomaly alerts, and chargeback/showback reports.

We can walk through relevant case studies and references on a call - many of our clients ask for NDA-backed detail before we share specifics.
Typical flow
A reference sequence; we adapt depth and gates to your organisation.
- 01Assess
Current footprint
Inventory, risks, and quick-win hygiene items.
- 02Design
Target state
Decisions recorded with ADRs; alignment with security.
- 03Implement
Foundation sprint
IaC modules, pipelines, and validation in non-prod.
- 04Handover
Operate
Training, on-call expectations, optional managed support.

Who we work with
Early-stage teams establishing defaults, mid-market organisations without a dedicated platform function, and enterprise units standardising new workloads.
Infrastructure
Primary depth across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform; hybrid connectivity and on-prem integration as required.
Deliverables
Concrete outputs, documented and handed over with the build.
- Architecture diagram and written decisions
- Infrastructure as code where appropriate
- Baseline logging and cost tags
- Handover to your ops team or managed option
Engagement model
Partnership patterns we document in the SOW or master agreement.
- -Foundation sprint, then iterative hardening
- -Optional ongoing platform support
Commercial model
Account structure, networking, compliance tier, and migration scope set effort. We quote after discovery.
We start with a focused discovery (paid or unpaid, depending on complexity). You receive a written scope or SOW: milestones, acceptance tests, and a defined change process. NDAs and your procurement steps are routine.
Fixed scope
Documented requirements, milestones, and acceptance criteria. Delivery targets an agreed release or go-live.
When it applies
Landing zone or refactor for a defined set of workloads and environments.
Phased programme
Successive increments with checkpoints, integrations, and change control as scope evolves.
When it applies
Multi-account programmes, regulated sectors, or large migration waves.
Ongoing partnership
Retained monthly capacity for maintenance, incremental features, releases, and operational support.
When it applies
Platform operations: changes, cost review, and hardening after foundations are live.
Fees are quoted per engagement after discovery. Third-party cloud, licensing, and usage charges are usually billed to your accounts unless we agree otherwise.
