Cloud strategies are rapidly evolving, and Tangoe is pleased to announce a new suite of cloud consulting services supporting CIOs and CTOs as they navigate the ins and outs of cloud transformation.
Why Now? It’s Time to Rethink Cloud and Trade Speed for Cost-Conscious Thoughtfulness
Today’s IT leaders are rethinking their approach to the cloud as accelerated innovation is being displaced by thoughtful, cost-conscious cloud investments. In years past, companies have rushed cloud migrations with a sense of urgency driven by the idea that corporate innovation was at risk.
But that attitude is shifting.
Purposeful purchases are replacing ad-hoc deployments as IT leaders emphasize return on investment, questioning traditional cloud-only and cloud-first strategies. In lieu of rapid cloud adoption for the sake of digital transformation, current approaches instead:
- Seek out ideal platforms that can better balance security, performance, and price – leveraging AI to make more informed cloud strategy decisions
- Prefer hybrid-cloud strategies, making workload placement decisions on a case-by-case basis
- Prioritize cloud cost management focusing on FinOps programs, contract rate optimization, and efficiencies in cloud resource utilization
Interconnected Decisions with Wide-Reaching Impact
But even as pandemic pressures have been traded for sound decision-making, the cloud remains a complex road to navigate. Far from a single consideration, cloud strategies are a web of interconnected decisions where one selection can have a cascading effect – both positive and negative – on many other areas of the business. In the end, it’s a balancing act where security, operational performance, innovation, and financial sustainability all hang in the balance.
With AI and Generative AI spurring more cloud investments, getting innovation right requires careful considerations in solution design, connectivity, and migration planning informed by deep assessments of the existing IT estate including infrastructure, applications, and performance requirements.
And let’s not forget about close collaboration with third-party and in-house stakeholders.
Tangoe’s new services cover all of that.
New Cloud Consulting Services
Tangoe Advisory Services can help IT leaders navigate cloud and network modernization whether they’re migrating workloads, troubleshooting the performance of their network and applications, or reevaluating their cloud-first strategy.
Our new cloud consulting services expand on our existing ability to assess and optimize IaaS services. With a wider, comprehensive menu of options, clients now have both strategic and tactical support for their growing clouds – spanning private, public, and hybrid environments. The services are designed for IT leaders who wish to manage the complexities of planning, migrating, and implementing cloud transitions with minimal impact on their in-house resources.
Focused on best practices, the new services address cloud architecture, connectivity design, and transitions to/from infrastructure as a service (IaaS). They introduce proven processes for cloud strategy and planning development, including assessments, resource rationalization, and repatriation considerations guiding IT leaders on which workloads to revert to their own private cloud or in-house servers.
A Closer Look at the New Services Suite
Here’s a closer look at the new services and how they build on one another, offering an end-to-end cloud innovation program from conception to design and implementation. Alternatively, clients can purchase the new services a la carte.
