Cloud Implementation Services

Our Implementation Services represent the Implementation Phase of our Service Methodology. The Implementation Phase is where your company will actually begin to realize the benefits of Cloud Computing and where the implementation of your business strategy utilizing a Cloud will reduce your TCO and improve your business responsiveness to the ever-changing conditions in the environment.

Overview

Our Implementation Services are all custom services based on our experience in doing similar engagements with other clients. For each engagement, we meet with you to understand exactly what you want and then create a Statement of Work (SOW) that defines what we will do and the time frame. Where the effort and scope can be defined we will provide a fixed price proposal; otherwise we will provide an estimated number of hours and a price per hour. The SOW specifies how often we will report on the status of these efforts and how that reporting will be done, plus defines all deliverables from the engagement.

We will work with your staff, contractors, consultants and partners as you desire. We act as part of your team, including if appropriate using your email address on all correspondence related to the engagement.
