Where this fits - Roughly 200-2,000 staff
Mid-market
The stage where what worked informally stops working at all.
What this stage typically needs
- Hybrid and multicloud architecture with a costed migration path
- Continuous audit readiness rather than an annual scramble
- Building an internal practice: service definitions, delivery standards, certification roadmaps
- Technical due diligence on the companies you are now acquiring
- How it usually runs
- Quarterly engagement: architecture plus practice build-out, with knowledge transfer written in.
- Where the depth comes from
- Hybrid multicloud programs at regulated institutions, and internal practices built to outlast the engagement.
- First step
- A 30-minute call, no charge.
- Then
- A budget scoping exercise. This is senior engineering time and it is priced like it.
