Thinking about moving to the cloud? Let's make a plan that works.
Moving your critical business services to Google Cloud is a major step. It shouldn't be scary, and it definitely shouldn't be a guessing game. My consultation service cuts through the noise. We'll figure out exactly what needs to move, how to move it efficiently, and how to ensure it runs better—and often cheaper—once it gets there.
The Consultation Roadmap
A phased approach to defining your exact path to Google Cloud.
Business Operations Deep Dive
We start by stepping away from the technology and immersing ourselves in your business. I conduct a deep dive into your core operations to understand exactly how your teams work today. The goal is to identify precisely where the cloud can leverage your existing data and tools, ensuring technology serves your business strategy, not the other way around.
Infrastructure Assessment
We leave no stone unturned. I conduct a comprehensive technical audit of your current IT landscape—whether on-premise or in another cloud. We map application dependencies, analyze compute and storage utilization, review security postures, and identify any licensing constraints. This establishes a precise baseline to ensure nothing breaks during the move.
Infrastructure Design & Modernization Strategy
We don't just replicate your old problems in a new location. Based on the assessment, I design a future-proof Google Cloud architecture optimized for your goals. We decide the best path for each workload: rehosting (lift-and-shift), replatforming (tweaking for cloud), or refactoring utilizing cloud-native services like GKE, Cloud Run, and serverless databases for maximum agility.
Cloud Cost Estimates & Optimization
No one likes billing surprises. I develop a detailed, transparent Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model forecasting your Google Cloud spend. We go beyond list prices, baking in optimizations like Right-Sizing recommendations, Committed Use Discounts, and spot instances to ensure you achieve maximum performance for every dollar spent.
The Cloud Migration Roadmap
This is the actionable game plan. We deliver a phased migration roadmap tailored to your business cycles. We define logical "move groups" of applications, establish clear timelines, outline testing procedures, and crucially, define rollback protocols. The goal is a boring migration with zero unplanned downtime.
