Moving applications and data to cloud for the sake of moving is the biggest mistake. Everybody knows they need scalable operations. But the majority of executives launch their cloud over-architected, unnecessarily large, putting them at an immediate strategic disadvantage.
After working together on identifying your business requirements, we realistically estimate your cloud project
We start with business strategy. Then we move on to architecture. Once your concept is validated, then and only then, do we move onto cloud deployment.
Minimize your Cloud project
At the start of our on-site Sprint Zero Workshop, we will get a full picture of the problem that you are setting out to solve and determine whether any proposed infrastructure component can go.
Create a proof of concept
We never start with deploying cloud components or coding functions or even design mockups. Instead, we build a semi-functional proof of concept that you can click and play around with. This lets you get feedback on your processes and make changes before we build.
Build your minimum viable cloud infrastructure
We build your cloud infrastructure with the best-fit technologies and frameworks, working on top of out-of-the box functionality where applicable and ensuring that applications are easy to test and maintain.
Maintain quality & add features overtime
After you’ve launched the first iteration of your cloud applications, we’re still here for you. We run DevSecOps for continuous deployment, maintain quality of existing functionality, and build out the additional features in your product backlog. And with a product manager on every DevSecOps team, we always put the customer first.
Your Cloud minimum viable infrastructure is even more “minimum” than you think it is. Too many Managed Cloud Service providers and freelancers set up their services so that they profit from pitching you a big project. They’ll convince you that you need features you don’t during your launch. Or worse, when they hear you describe a feature that may not be necessary to deliver value to your initial customers, they won’t tell you that your idea can wait.
This of course, is how entrepreneurs overspend in the earliest stages of their business. This is dangerous. Even if you have a great product that customers need, you can struggle to regain positive cash flow because your monster of a product is weighing you down. We don’t let this happen. We’ve even built our Managed Cloud Service Provider business so that we’re incentivized when you launch something that you can sell as quickly as possible. Because we operate on a month-to-month basis (allowing you to cancel at any time), we remain cash flow friendly. When our customers have a true lean Cloud infrastructure that delivers the requisite value in order to sell, we get repeat clients who stick with us. In other words, we’re on your side because we’re good people, and because we’ve set up our business model the right way.
Because we do minimum viable infrastructure work to get you to launch
