Triad will review your architecture and operating environment and assess the optimal cloud solution for your business needs. Triad will help you design the solution; plan migration and transition of your operating environment and data; project manage the changes and plan new services, putting in place governance, tools and techniques; develop continuity plans suitable for your cloud based services.
Changes associated with cloud-based services can have a significant impact on the wider organisation. Triad will advise leaders and senior managers to help identify the critical areas, which we will address during these change processes, with insights drawn from our vast experience of similar scenarios. Triad will review how you conduct your business; look at your drivers and motivations, such as reducing waste and realising savings; and identify business changes and cloud services that deliver maximum benefit within your constraints. We articulate where you are, where you want to be, how to get there.
Triad will help you pick the most appropriate Cloud services for your requirements. We compare different services from a business and technical perspective with a focus on the value they deliver. We explore the benefits and trade-offs to consider when incorporating them into your solution landscape. - Planning service works with specific services
