Engagements
Working across domains and technologies.
Enabling and partnering with project and product teams.
Accelerating sustainable strategy and delivery.
Example Engagement Types
DevOps Acceleration
Initiate your DevOps, migrate your DevOps, enhance your DevOps.
Bring Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and more, to new or existing solutions, in your projects or products. Enable culture change through the adoption of a systematic yet adaptable approach.
Durable, low maintenance solutions, designed to unify the onboarding experience, reduce onboarding effort from days to hours, and enhance quality via automated code analysis and automated testing.
DevOps platform design, selection and adoption, or enhanced use of an existing platform - leveraging the tools in the market (e.g. Azure DevOps, GitHub, Travis, Jenkins, Bamboo, Bitbucket, Nexus, Sonaqube.
Rapid Cloud Enablement
Office systems. Content libraries. Applications. Environments.
Select one or more Cloud platforms for adoption in your organisation, aligned with the business and technology strategies. Take your new or existing assets and push them to your preferred Cloud platform in an orchestrated and controlled manner.
Push applications and environments to the Cloud to reduce costs, simplify IT management effort and streamline provisioning across the route-to-live from development through test to user acceptance and optionally to production.
Use the 6-Rs method to help systematically rationalise your portfolio (Rehosting, Replatforming, Repurchasing, Refactoring, Retire, Retain).
Automation & Release Management
Across the lifecycle, automation boosts effectiveness and efficiency.
Implement automation to touch many areas of the project or product lifecycle beyond Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. Automate to accelerate development and make release management faster. Automate code quality assessment and analysis providing robust gating, leading to a more complete and robust release management process. Add placeholders to options for including automated test case execution for entry testing, smoke testing, functional testing, regression testing and more.
Rehosting Pilots
A low-risk "insurance policy" to start a system's journey to the cloud.
Assess, adjust and run a pilot migration of a target system to the Cloud. Run the pilot on fixed milestones or fixed timeboxes, both against objectives designed to balance risk and reward.
Making a pilot of a system available in the Cloud enables early adoption while providing the additional benefit of being available to end users.
Identify lessons learned from the pilot, for broader application within your organisation.
Azure Stack
Carve out your own dedicated piece of the Azure Cloud with Azure Stack.
Leverage your own dedicated Cloud servers to provide seamless on-premise Cloud-enabled development and optionally deployment.
Run cost-effective workloads on-premise with a consistent deployment model. Optionally design solutions to burst to the Cloud for scale-up capacity.
Ideal for when system and data location sovereignty is important, or when keeping development or deployment in-house matters, or when a seamless parallel deployment or transition to the Cloud is expected.
Product Positioning & Pre-sales Workshops
Positioning the value proposition of new or existing products.
Identifying key data points and competitive features to highlight a product's time-to-value and unique selling points for competitive positioning.
Rendering the value proposition in coherent and effective presentations and papers to target specific customer segments.
Assisting and training pre-sales teams in the effective delivery of client and prospect workshops.
Product Strategy
Holistic strategies for taking new or existing products from design to market.
From conception to re-envisioning, create something meaningful with a holistic approach to product strategy is key to taking ideas to implementation and beyond, creating or revitalising your organisations assets and bringing them to market.
Through brainstorming and workshops in-team or as an independent deliverable, identify key requirements, create high-level designs and model time-to-value for target customers to enable a structured product roadmap.
Model your strategy and link it to a high-level revenue model, to feed directly to your sales and marketing organisations.
Product Management & Design
Managing your full product lifecycle and enabling structured design.
Processes and techniques for managing products, driven from a holistic product management check-list.
Define and produce your product deliverables from concept through requirements to design and implementation plans.
Design products with traceability, using workshops and models to define and communicate business intents. Elaborate designs with omni-channel customer touch-points and interactions through structured APIs, with modern Cloud-ready or Cloud-native solutions design. Build database designs incorporating operational analysis services.
Project Reviews
Initiation. Planning. Periodic. Audit Support. Assess and Recommend. Closure & Lessons Learned.
Project or product reviews execute at any stage in the lifecycle of a project or product, for large programmes to individual projects to pilots and proof of concepts. Maintain a technology agnostic but technology aware perspective to assure reviews are business focused.
A cross-discipline approach, from project management through architecture, design, development, test and deployment brings a significantly higher value to our reviews.
