Start performing cloud transformation
… the right way
What is ‘the right way’? In the PwC Cloud Transformation team, we believe that ‘the right way’ means strategically navigating through challenges to achieve goals. Focusing on reaching the business outcome, not wasting time on unnecessary action, and harnessing the Cloud in all its forms. Whether it’s new digital revenue streams, smarter ways of working, on-demand software applications, data and infrastructure services, or delivering superlative customer experience, we will get you there … the right way.
Focus on the value. Innovate and transform.
We believe in having a clear vision and leveraging these benefits immediately:
Comprehensive, multi-layered approach
We broke down the cloud transformation process into five stages with four additional layers to ensure total understanding of the process and activities. This way, our cooperation is seamless and can start yielding benefits immediately.
Infrastructure and software accelerators
Our team boasts extensive experience in optimising a range of infrastructure and software solutions, and utilising software accelerators which enable us to decrease design and implementation time significantly. This effectively establishes landing zones and Data as a Service platforms, implementing FinOps policies and more.
Custom tailored areas of each cloud transformation stage
Every company’s journey to the Cloud is unique. Some need a drastic transformation to get back on track, while others only need a few adjustments. You will receive exactly what you need depending on your situation, helping you save time and money.
Focus on the ‘business first’ approach
Our ‘business first’ approach brings more value to the customer. It improves internal cooperation, governance, management, IT processes, and controls FinOps all while keeping the highest security standards. These are essential for any successful cloud transformation.
Kick-start at any moment depending on maturity
Whether your company is just starting its journey to the Cloud, or you already have a presence there and are just looking to capture the latest technology and services, we will provide you with a clear strategy to transition to the Cloud, ensuring efficient allocation and utilisation of your capital in cloud solutions.
Full control and transparency
The value of total transparency and control over each stage of your cloud transformation journey cannot be overstated. Our research shows that cloud migration KPIs and dashboards with clear objectives, spending, HR insights, maturity charts and progress evaluations drastically reduce time for decision making and risk/change management processes.
