Cloud Strategy & Migration

There is a shift in the technology industry for companies to move towards more cost-efficient cloud environments. Companies that move to the cloud can see immediate benefits to their storage capabilities, computer resources scalability, user experience, security, and costs. If your organization is currently experiencing challenges with their technology stack, it might be time to consider moving to the cloud.

Trexin can:

• Perform an on-site cost assessment of your current on-premises IT infrastructure.
• Assist Clients in choosing the most cost-effective cloud provider vendor based on their needs.
• Deploy an optimized cloud infrastructure.
• Train users in the best cloud cost-efficient practices.
• Assist Clients with implementing a quality cost tracking program.

A digital workplace is not only digital tools and technologies, but also digital talent and skillsets that enable organizations to implement digital initiatives. As Gen Y becomes more prominent in the digital modernized workplace, it becomes a requirement to attract and retain top talent. Trexin helps you in the following ways:

• Assessment of current state tools and technologies within your digital workspace
• Value modeling: Total Cost of Change (TCC), Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Return on Investment (ROI)
• Building a business case for change
• Performing market research
• Guidance with the right Vendor/Solution Selection and prototyping
• Assistance building skills and talent

Enterprises need modern cloud deployment capabilities as well as the scalability and agility of the cloud. However, enterprise cloud migrations can create concerns about the security, complexity, time, effort, and cost of migration. Trexin helps you in the following ways:

• Developing a clear and agile strategy
• Prioritizing support of the leadership and business goals
• Building a cloud adoption roadmap and execution framework
• Creating a cloud governance framework that includes data protection

Organizations are looking to leverage cloud innovation and maximize efficiency and agility, but at the same time need to maintain security and regulatory compliance. Cybersecurity costs increase every year, yet business leaders still identify disruption from cyberattacks as one of the top five growing risks. Trexin helps you build the right cloud cyber capability to deliver the security mission (fit-for-purpose), bring practicality to cloud operations (fit-for-use), and help you effectively evaluate cloud vendor technology for your business needs using the following high-level steps:

• Evaluate and implement security standards
• Distribute risk and lean security principles
• Provide cloud governance
• Standardize design patterns for cloud suitability

Organizational change management addresses the impacts of change on people and organizations. Trexin helps you design and implement a pragmatic approach that supports application and business owners, impacted user groups, and corporate leadership in their cloud migration.

• Common mission, vision, and goals to align individual strengths and improve team performance
• Purpose-led culture
• Adaptive culture of continuous learning and innovation
• Iteration based on feedback and data-driven insights

Typically, our Clients push their current applications and data to public and/or private clouds, aiming for increased speed to market and more flexible scalability. However, Cloud Service Providers (CSPs like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google) add hundreds of new features to their cloud offerings every year. Understanding and leveraging these features are key to achieving cost savings and improved security. Adopting these new features for complex legacy applications, workflows, and data is tough. We help you master these challenges with our tools and methodologies:

• Data colocation and abstraction processes
• Data classification and lineage
• Standard tooling for data and application dependency mapping
• Building a more modular and adaptable application portfolio
• Creating and defining new application capabilities which can be combined and recombined as business needs shift

Most of our Clients are seeking pre-cloud migration assistance to build organizational governance, architecture readiness, application/data readiness, application development readiness, and cloud financial models for different business units. We perform assessments and apply our deep experience to help you formalize an overall cloud strategy and roadmap. We help you “connect the dots” using the following methods and techniques.

• Value Stream Mapping
• Waste reduction
• Standardized release and deployment processes (DevSecOps)
• Targeted NoOps end state with Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Reusability/common frameworks
• Cloud Center of Excellence
• Enterprise-wide architecture, design principles, and standards.

You may have pockets of complex waterfall processes and intricate dependencies with excessive customization, causing expensive, hard-to-manage upgrades. This helps your business case for cloud migration, but hinders your actual cloud adoption. Trexin supports you with incremental adoption of processes and solutions so you can achieve business value early and often.

• Identify process gaps
• Provide standard tools and process automation frameworks
• Evaluate distributed risk principles
• Establish cloud controls and governance frameworks
• Create real-time reporting mechanisms

Trexin helps you enhance your customers’ experience by iterative implementation of targeted use cases, leveraging automation and data analytics to rapidly and continuously improve, tracked by the right cost and management frameworks. This includes:

• Clear strategy
• Lean staffing structure
• Skills required to enable cloud environment
• Digital workspace principles
• Modernized self-service portfolio tools and technologies
