Your strategic partner for cloud transformation success
Cloud consulting
Cloud computing is now a business necessity, but many New Zealand organisations adopt it without a clear strategy—leading to costly mistakes, poor performance, and security risks. Treating cloud as a simple technology decision often results in replicating on-premises inefficiencies in the cloud.
Professional cloud consulting bridges this gap by aligning cloud adoption with business goals, selecting the right platforms, and ensuring optimised, secure environments. Whether starting your cloud journey or improving existing services, expert guidance turns cloud promise into real business value.
What is cloud consulting?
Cloud consulting provides strategic planning, platform selection, migration expertise, and optimisation to ensure cloud success.
Strategic cloud planning
Consultants assess your business objectives, current infrastructure, and cloud readiness to create a roadmap that aligns technology with business goals. This prevents the common mistake of migrating “because everyone else is” without clear benefits.
Platform selection & architecture
Choosing between Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or hybrid solutions requires expertise. Consultants evaluate platforms based on your needs, design scalable architectures, and optimise for cost and security—avoiding expensive missteps.
Migration planning & execution
Cloud migration is complex. Consulting services include application inventory, dependency mapping, risk mitigation, and execution plans to ensure smooth transitions and business continuity.
Core cloud services for NZ businesses
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
Replace physical infrastructure with scalable, cost-effective virtual resources. Consultants design IaaS solutions that balance performance, cost, and reliability.
Platform as a service (PaaS)
Accelerate development with managed platforms. Consultants identify where PaaS reduces complexity and speeds delivery.
Software as a service (SaaS)
Adopting SaaS like Microsoft 365 or Xero requires planning for integration, security, and governance. Consulting ensures seamless adoption and avoids siloed systems.
Backup & disaster recovery
Cloud-based backup and DR protect business continuity without costly secondary data centres. Consultants design strategies that meet recovery objectives and compliance needs.
Hybrid & multi-cloud
Consultants help integrate on-premises, private, and public cloud environments, ensuring governance and workload optimisation.
