Proactive advice

Whether it involves setting up a platform or exploring ways to integrate the cloud into your business strategy, we are happy to think along with you and provide tailored Cloud Consultancy.

We often work closely with our partners and provide proactive advice. Literally. Our Solution Consultants and Cloud Engineers are frequently brought along by our partners to meet the end customer, allowing us to offer advice based on our expertise and incorporate it into solutions for your client. This often leads to smart, innovative results: a simple cloud migration, an extremely scalable database cluster, or a future-proof multi-cloud design. In addition, we can also create a demonstration or proof-of-concept with our partners. It is precisely this proactive advice that encourages thinking outside the box, leading to unique solutions. That is what the ultimate partnership looks like to us.

‍

Cloud advice always available

Driven by the Fundaments DNA and our commitment to delivering the best solutions, we regularly monitor the performance of solutions already deployed in the Fundaments Cloud. As soon as we identify potential bottlenecks, they are escalated to our Service Management department. Advice on configuration adjustments or adding components ensures the continuous optimization of your cloud solutions.

‍

Strategic advice

Our Cloud Consultants begin every project by thoroughly analyzing the question behind the question. We never just pull a standard solution off the shelf; instead, we take a critical look at what is being asked of us. This allows us to advise you on even the most complex Cloud issues. Which technologies, which billing models, and most importantly, which Cloud is best suited for your IT consumption? These are all strategic questions that our Cloud Consultants and CTO are happy to help you think through.

‍

Custom Cloud strategy

Using the Cloud is not an easy chapter for everyone, especially when it comes to making choices about fundamental changes in infrastructure usage. That is why Fundaments offers Cloud Consultancy. After all, what about all those investments in hardware? And what about the integration of IT services that are already being consumed as a utility? Are you, as the person responsible for the IT landscape, dealing with these kinds of issues? And what is actually happening in the IT world; what developments can be expected, and how do they relate to your challenges?

Our team of strategic advisors and our CTO provide you with access to developments in the IT landscape: which technologies, which billing models, and most importantly, which Cloud is best suited for your IT consumption? We always take the time to conduct a suitable introductory session for you and to help you think through the right Cloud strategy.

Is your organization Cloud-ready?

Based on our experience with migrations to the Cloud, we are familiar not only with the technical challenges but also with the challenges involved in transforming business processes and resources. In an inventory session, we can go through all parts of your issue. This allows us to address topics such as investments (creating a business case), the impact on human resources, process risks, business continuity, and future-proofing, and to provide advice on your Cloud-readiness.

‍

Strategic plan for Cloud transformation

If the inventory shows that there is sufficient support for a Cloud implementation, we are happy to jointly examine all components of the Cloud transformation and translate this into a strategic plan and business case. Our goal is to use our expertise to provide a clear answer to the question: to Cloud or not to Cloud?

Technical advice

Do you have an application that is so successful that it is causing performance and availability challenges? Do you notice that certain things in your own IT infrastructure are no longer running smoothly, but you don't know exactly what is going wrong? Do you have challenges in realizing a good failover scenario? In short: do you need technical Cloud advice? The Cloud Experts at Fundaments provide you with customized technical Cloud advice so that your organization always stays online.

Customized technical Cloud advice

Infrastructure as a Service from Fundaments is built on a solid foundation. This foundation was created through many years of experience and research by driven Cloud Experts with a passion for optimization and the correct deployment of IT infrastructure. We have direct lines of communication with our suppliers when it comes to product feedback. Through this collaboration, we have a well-stocked toolbox that we use for all our services. Whether it concerns hardware or software, we know exactly which building blocks fit well and work together for a specific service. Precisely because we have always built solutions ourselves using technology, we can quickly recognize and solve many problems. We are happy to make this knowledge available in the form of Cloud Consultancy.
