Cloud Development & Deployment Consulting
So you’re considering a move to the cloud. Maybe it’s because you’re upgrading antiquated IT infrastructures that inhibit speed, efficiency, and innovation. Or maybe you’re saddled with legacy hardware that gets in the way of adopting newer technology. Or maybe just you’re under constant pressure to reduce your IT costs. Whatever the reason, it might be high time you sought out a cloud or multi-cloud development partner to bring your company up to speed.
But how can you be sure you’re still responsibly addressing compliance issues, as well as ensuring a sustainable future for your software and IT endeavors? Here are the latest capabilities you should look for when looking for a cloud consulting services firm:
Cloud Migration
Migrating legacy systems to cloud solutions is no small task. You want a cloud development partner with extensive experience and expertise to deliver you a high-performance engine. Make sure they have client experience with the big three cloud-based providers: AWS, Azure, and Google. There might be other preferable options, but with experience in these three, they can truly help you reduce operational costs while improving IT infrastructure and processes.
Cloud Strategy & Design
Every business transforming themselves into a cloud-based company needs to have a solid strategy in place. Which apps absolutely have to move to the cloud? Which can stay locally-hosted with legacy systems? A cloud computing developer who helps make smart, case-by-case decisions here can save time and money as you make crucial product deployment decisions.
Cost Management
If you’re not careful, you can waste an awful lot of money on cloud migration services. Some cloud deployment specialists will recommend more than you need without developing an optimized plan to match your needs. You can probably bring down your costs by not doing a full migration to new infrastructure. You just need a consulting partner to assess it intelligently.
Cloud Analytics
If implemented correctly, big data analytics can be incredibly profitable for your business. However, doing that takes a lot of diligence and understanding of your specific business. The right cloud consultant will get to know your business goals, management workflows, and technology in depth. With an experienced cloud consulting firm, you’ll get the cloud analytics you deserve.
Cloud Optimization
Cloud infrastructure management is a complicated world. By choosing your services wisely, you can save money and achieve unprecedented efficiency. But only with a seasoned cloud consulting developer can you opt for reserved instances, spot instances, long-term usage discounts, security service, or other. Find one who can intelligently recommend workflows that greatly enhance your system performance.
Cloud Infrastructure
As you migrate to the cloud, you want a cloud software developer who can help you maximize maintainability, scalability, and security for your company or organization. Depending on your needs, you may even want one that can design and develop custom enterprise applications built with a cloud-native architecture to operate at hyper-scale.
Google, Azure, & AWS Platform Computing
These are the three big kahunas in cloud hosting today. A truly professional cloud consultant will advise you if there’s a smaller-scale provider that would work just as well for your needs. But if your scale requires going with the big three, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), you want a cloud software development partner who’s an industry-recognized integrator with the client roster and case studies to prove it.
You probably don’t need to move all of your apps to the cloud. You know you're working with the right cloud solutions development firm if they tell you certain systems can stay locally-housed, so you can save money. The key is to assess at the onset of the project which apps are absolutely essential to move to the cloud and which aren't. Seek out a vendor who demonstrates maximum transparency on this from the start. Other considerations include:
Complexity
If your cloud-based app development goals involve a wide range of apps and services that need cloud migration, extra personnel and development time will be required, but your consultant will advise.
Scale
Every business has different scalability requirements that need to be identified and scoped for as you flesh out your project. For example, is your cloud software design intended to serve the needs of 10 users or 10 million? Do your apps need to be available and responsive across the globe?
Implementation
Depending on the time cloud developers need to write code for each screen, your costs will vary accordingly. If a social app only needs 4-5 user screens, but a business platform requires 20-30, your cloud consultant will detail how those equal very different budgets and timelines.
Maintenance
As you migrate your apps to the cloud, changes in business processes, regulations, and requests for new features usually require additional coding. Ask your cloud consulting firm for a projection on how much periodic updates will cost.
Infrastructure
An expert cloud software developer advises you on which apps and business functionality you should migrate to the cloud and which can still be hosted locally. Be wary of a cloud computing partner who says it all needs to move to the cloud, as that’s often a form of overkill.

Sidestepping project failure
The road to successful cloud app development is lined with potential obstacles. But by taking every conceivable precaution, we avoid leaving clients unsatisfied. Making sure we align with our clients on expectations, timelines and logistics is 90% of the battle. In order to reach your expectations, we work with your people and business to make sure they have the right support team on their end to ensure long-term viability. Be aware of the following factors:
Your cloud consulting partner needs to know your goals, desired customers, estimated budget, and your approval process up-front to stay on track and avoid surprises. To experience the benefits of cloud-based services and add business value, your partner should provide support throughout.
With a cloud developer that believes in an iterative development process, you’ll get to see multiple iterations of the software migration as you go, allowing check-ins throughout. Regular previews & demos ensure a healthy awareness of development progress and a consistent feedback loop, so there are no surprises.
If your consulting partner feels the proposed timing is unrealistically tight to provide the cloud software development services, they will likely recommend a different timeline to avoid a disappointing final product. Our experts take pride in our top-notch solutions.
