How it Works

Cloud Services enable convenient, on-demand network access to online computing resources such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services that can be rapidly provisioned and utilized.

These entry points allow complete interactivity, within Cloud applications by users, including accessing, uploading and downloading documents and data, creating and sharing files and other normal business functions.

Cloud Services allow integration between different applications which can share data and business intelligence between them, ushering in a new level of business efficiency and productivity.

Implementation Timeline

Depending upon the right Cloud Services for your organization, implementation, testing and go-live timelines will vary based upon several factors including the type of Cloud architecture needed (private, public or hybrid), and the Cloud Services required (software as a service, infrastructure as a service or platform as a service).

Additional considerations include the level of security required, the number of users participating in the Cloud Services and their roles and permissions, the devices that will be used to access the services, and the appropriate data backup strategy.

Cloud Discovery and Business Needs Analysis

1. A Discovery meeting will be conducted to understand your business needs in order to prepare a requirements document. This phase should take no longer than a week to schedule and complete.

Onsite Technology and Security Assessment

2. Following the Business Needs Analysis, we will conduct onsite technology and security assessments to allow us to document the existing computing infrastructure and security posture. Depending on the size and complexity of your infrastructure, this could take as little as a few days to a few weeks.

Architect Cloud Services Solution

3. Using the information gathered during the Business Needs Analysis, Technology and Security Assessments, we will architect the appropriate Cloud Services Solution to meet your requirements and design a Project Plan. This phase should take no longer than a few weeks to complete.

Implementation, Testing, Training and Go-Live

4. Once the Cloud Services Project Plan has been approved, we can begin to schedule the implementation process. Your staff will then be trained on how to use your new Cloud Services following an initial testing and QA phase. Following this, we can then establish a Go-Live date. This phase could take a few weeks to several months, depending on the complexity of the project.
