7. Cloud Readiness Workshop
Topical Information - Casual, one to many or one on one session to discuss a myriad of topics
related to the cloud, i.e., cloud service models, why move to the cloud, etc. The presentation
keeps up with present day cloud strategies and usage.
Specific Opportunity - If there is a customer who has us about a use case for cloud
computing, the workshop can be tailored to help develop the use case. Getting the right
people in the room to present cloud concepts and use cases can help the customer
understand what type of cloud they are looking for.
8. Cloud Readiness Assessment
Cloud Readiness Assessment – Commonly a paid engagement that is targeted to a specific
opportunity, the Cloud Readiness Assessment will address many aspects of the customers IT
infrastructure and business processes as they relate to IT. Logicalis’s approach is to use tools
and interviews to collect and validate data on the customers environment and deign a
solution that is directly applicable to the reason why we are doing an assessment.
Assessments can take from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the environment.
They are delivered primarily by pre-sales with assistance from Logicalis Professional Services
and Service Architects.
