Cloud Assessment and Advisory

Cloud Assessment is ideal for organizations planning cloud adoption, migration, optimization, or modernization, as well as those seeking visibility into costs, performance, security, and compliance across their cloud environments. It is particularly suited for enterprises operating in public (Yntraa Cloud, AWS, Azure), private, hybrid, or multi-cloud setups that require a clear, data-driven roadmap before making strategic cloud decisions.

Cloud Advisory Services provide expert consulting to help organizations develop strategic cloud roadmaps, select appropriate cloud deployment models, optimize cloud usage, and mitigate risks.

Cloud Assessment is a technical evaluation of your current setup, while Cloud Advisory provides strategic consulting on cloud adoption, modernization, compliance, governance, and cost optimization.

It may include infrastructure analysis, workload assessment, cost analysis, compliance review, cloud readiness scoring, network mapping, and risk identification.

No. Our assessments are cloud-agnostic and include public (Yntraa Cloud, AWS, and Azure), private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments based on your goals and current architecture.

Yes. We tailor the assessment based on your business objectives, whether you’re exploring cloud migration, optimization, digital transformation, or regulatory compliance.

It includes:
1. Discovery and Stakeholder Interviews
2. Data Collection and Environment Analysis
3. Cloud Readiness Scoring
4. Risk and Gap Analysis
5. Strategic Recommendations

The timeline varies with scope and organization size but typically ranges from a few weeks for smaller environments to several months for larger or more complex enterprises.

Yes. Access is provided only with explicit customer approval and is limited to the minimum required scope. All access is governed by secure methods and strict data privacy, security, and confidentiality protocols throughout the assessment engagement.

Customers receive a detailed report covering:

• Current state analysis: A detailed view of the existing IT and cloud landscape, covering infrastructure, applications, workloads, dependencies, performance baselines, cost posture, and operational practices. This establishes a clear and documented baseline of the environment as it exists today.
• Cloud readiness score: A structured readiness scoring that evaluates the customer’s preparedness for cloud adoption or optimization across key dimensions such as architecture, operations, governance, cost management, and skills. This score helps prioritize next steps objectively.
• Risk and compliance gaps: Identification of operational and compliance risks, including gaps against industry standards and regulatory requirements. This section highlights areas that may impact stability, data protection, or compliance if not addressed.
• Strategic recommendations: Actionable recommendations aligned to business goals, including target-state architecture guidance, migration or optimization approaches, governance improvements, and a phased roadmap. These recommendations are designed to be practical, prioritized, and execution-ready.

Advisory helps turn assessment insights into action. We help you define a roadmap, choose the right cloud platforms, set up governance, design cloud architecture, and guide implementation phases.

It depends. We offer both fixed-cost and value-based engagements. Some high-level assessments may be offered as complimentary for qualified customers or as part of a broader engagement.

Basic IT inventory, existing architecture diagrams, workloads, current usage reports, compliance requirements, and access to stakeholders.

Absolutely. Our methods are non-disruptive, and we work closely with your team to ensure business continuity.

Yes. We offer end-to-end support, including migration planning, execution, validation, optimization, and managed services.

Ideally, before any major cloud decision, initial adoption, scaling, or optimization. A periodic assessment every 12–18 months is recommended for mature cloud organizations.

CAF’s Operations and Governance Perspectives detail how to adapt IT service management, automate monitoring, define rollback/change processes, and maintain controls. This includes updating governance to manage cloud financials, risks, and performance while empowering IT teams with new roles.

Key stakeholders include IT leadership, security and compliance teams, infrastructure and application owners, and business decision-makers to ensure technical and operational alignment with business priorities.

Yes, advisory services evaluate multiple cloud environments and recommend best-fit models for different workloads, enabling efficient management of hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures.

By analyzing current cloud usage and planning resource optimization, Cloud Assessment and Advisory help eliminate waste, right-size resources, and adopt consumption-based models that reduce operational and capital expenses.

A cloud assessment minimizes risks by uncovering technical and organizational gaps, estimating costs and benefits, ensuring compliance, and providing a clear, phased migration and modernization plan, which helps organizations avoid costly mistakes and disruptions during cloud adoption.

By recommending cloud-native architectures, automation, and advanced technologies, these services enable faster innovation cycles, improved agility, and the ability to rapidly scale resources in alignment with evolving business demands.
