Cloud Strategies

Cloud computing has steadily grown in popularity and there is great interest within the information technology sector for its potential to yield new capabilities, reduce IT expenditures and provide new flexibility for business. Once viewed as a service delivery trend for small- and medium-size businesses, many enterprise IT executives recognize an inflection point where cloud technologies can play a strategic role in driving bottom-line growth and creating market agility.

Yet, questions remain regarding architectures, security, resiliency and access, leading many executives to take an “all or nothing” approach to the cloud. As the market matures and more cloud capabilities emerge, executives seek clarity on infrastructure, migration strategies, and non-biased assessments in areas of high concern.

RevGen Partners offers an unbiased “reality check” on the state of cloud computing by providing strategic consulting services for mid- and enterprise-size companies to assess cloud solutions as part of their broader IT strategy and facilitate implementations for targeted services in a cloud architecture.

RevGen Partners offers Cloud Services via a two-phased approach:

Cloud Opportunity Assessment

RevGen Partners helps clients approach the cloud in the same manner as its other services – with intent to drive profitability through efficient technology management and business optimization strategies. A successful cloud strategy begins with a thorough analysis that balances business and technology needs, scalability, investment and more. In this phase of engagement, RevGen Partners’ Cloud Computing consultants will:

  • Conduct a holistic business evaluation to determine opportunity and readiness for cloud-based applications, desktop services, remote data storage and disaster recovery
  • Examine business and technical requirements as well as existing IT investments
  • Identify opportunities to move on-premises, dedicated infrastructure to the cloud
  • Evaluate the viability of various cloud architectures, including private, public, and hybrid delivery models.
  • Develop a business case and ROI model that assesses the value and opportunity associated with a cloud-based strategy
  • Provide a non-biased evaluation of cloud computing providers including those that provide enabling technologies and/or operational services to implement a cloud-based architecture

Cloud Implementation and Management

Not all cloud technologies are equal and there is no “one-size-fits-all” strategy. RevGen Partners serves as a strategic guide in evaluating cloud-based solutions for flexibility, scalability and reliability to support the specific needs of each client we serve. In this phase of engagement, RevGen Partners will:

  • Plot a technical roadmap that may include a private cloud, a public cloud or a hybrid solution
  • Design a migration strategy that minimizes disruption to the enterprise
  • Ensure the solution provides redundancy, security, and business continuity
  • Implement operational infrastructure to support the strategy and roadmap
  • Create support guidelines
  • Develop key metrics to ensure successful implementation
  • Support cloud-based IT environments and monitor results to ensure ongoing ROI

IT and business executives seek guidance and a deeper understanding of how to leverage and enable the cloud as part of a service delivery strategy. RevGen Partners’ Cloud Services help bridge the knowledge gap by assessing infrastructure, proving positive, bottom-line impact while maintaining service delivery levels.
