1. Plan
Define the right cloud path before you invest - turning ambiguity into a clear roadmap aligned to outcomes, architecture,
security, governance, and operating model.
Strategy
- Cloud Strategy & Advisory (target state, guardrails, execution roadmap)
- Adoption & Value Engineering (KPIs/OKRs, enablement, governance cadence)
- Cloud Platform Selection (decision matrix, workload fit, compliance)
- Proof of Concept (PoC) to de-risk performance, connectivity, and controls
- Readiness & Landscape Assessment + cutover validation gates
- Security & Compliance Assessment (control mapping + remediation roadmap)
2. Build
Build enterprise-grade cloud foundations - landing zones, network, identity, and automation - so delivery teams can deploy
workloads consistently and securely.
Foundation
- Infrastructure Engineering (standardized patterns for scale)
- Network Architecture (VPC/VNet, segmentation, hybrid connectivity)
- Identity & Access (IAM, SSO, roles, least privilege)
- Storage Architecture (performance, durability, data tiering)
- Performance-Optimized Design (right-sizing, latency-aware design)
- Infrastructure Automation (IaC) and golden templates
3. Migrate
Move workloads with precision - strategy, waves, automation, and cutover governance - minimizing downtime and protecting
performance, security, and business continuity.
Move
- Migration Strategy & Planning (waves, dependencies, decision gates)
- SAP Workload Migration (BASIS + OS/DB patterns for enterprise SAP)
- S/4HANA Migration & Transformation (conversion-ready execution)
- Database Migration & Modernization (HANA/SQL/Oracle/Postgres)
- Automation & Tooling (repeatable pipelines and runbooks)
- Cutover & Validation Support (gates, hypercare, rollback readiness)
4. Reliability & Validation
Prove resiliency before go-live - backup, restore, HA, and DR validation - so your RTO/RPO and availability targets are
measurable and audit-ready.
Validate
- Backup & Recovery Testing (repeatable restore validation)
- DR Testing (failover/failback and runbook validation)
- HA Testing (cluster/system replication validation)
- Restore Testing (full-stack recovery drills)
- Performance / Load Testing (baseline + bottleneck analysis)
- Evidence capture and readiness sign-off
5. Protect & Operate
Secure and run mission-critical platforms - security engineering, backup/data protection, monitoring, and automated
recovery - built for 24×7 operations.
Operate
- Security Engineering (controls, hardening, vulnerability management)
- Backup & Data Protection (policies, validation, recovery readiness)
- DR / HA Architecture (RTO/RPO design + operational runbooks)
- Monitoring & Visibility (dashboards, alerting, SLOs)
- Automated Recovery (self-healing, orchestration, runbook automation)
- Operational governance (incident, change, patch, problem management)
6. Optimize & Govern
Reduce cost and improve reliability through a continuous optimization loop - FinOps, performance tuning, capacity planning,
and governance that scales across teams and accounts.
Optimize
- FinOps Cost Optimization (unit economics, rightsizing, budgets)
- Performance Optimization (tuning, bottleneck elimination)
- Capacity & Scaling (forecasting, policy-driven scaling)
- Governance Framework (guardrails, standards, compliance evidence)
- Continuous Architecture Optimization (patterns and improvements)
- Resource Utilization Optimization (waste removal and coverage)
