Unsolicited advice

Whether it's about setting up a platform or looking for opportunities to include the use of Cloud in your business strategy, we are happy to think along with you and provide customized Cloud Consultancy.

This is where we often work with our partners and then come up with unsolicited advice. Literally. Very often, our Solution Consultants and Cloud Engineers are taken by our partners to the end customer: in doing so, we offer advice from our expertise and include this in solutions for your end customer. This often results in smart, innovative solutions: a simple Cloud migration, an extremely scalable database cluster, or a future-proof design with multiple Clouds. In addition, we can also create a demonstration or proof of concept with our partners. It is precisely this (unsolicited) advice that ensures that people think outside the box, leading to a unique solution. This is what the ultimate partnership looks like for us.

Cloud advice always available

Based on the DNA of Fundaments and our drive to deliver the best solutions, we regularly monitor the performance of solutions that have already been rolled out in the Fundaments Cloud. As soon as we see bottlenecks arise here, they go to our Service Management department. Advice about adjusting configurations or adding components ensures continuous optimization of your Cloud solutions.

Strategic advice

Under the motto: “you run, we ask”, our Cloud Consultants start each process by thoroughly analyzing the question behind the question. We never just come up with a standard solution, but are critical of what we are asked to do. This way, we can advise you on even the most complex Cloud issues. Which techniques, which payment models, and, above all, which Cloud is best suited for your IT consumption? all strategic questions that our Cloud Consultants and CTO are happy to think about.

Tailored cloud strategy

Using Cloud is not an easy chapter for everyone, especially when it comes to choices about fundamental changes in the use of infrastructure. That's why Fundaments offers Cloud Consultancy. Because, what about all those investments in hardware? And what about links to IT services that are already being purchased “from the wall”. As responsible for the IT landscape, are you working on 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 issues?

Then our team of strategic advisors and our CTO will give you access to developments in the IT landscape: which techniques, which payment models, and, above all, which Cloud is best suited for your IT consumption? We always take the time to do a suitable introduction session for you and help you think about the right Cloud strategy.

Is your organization Cloud-ready?

From our experience with migrations to the Cloud, in addition to the technical challenges, we also know the challenges in the transformation of business processes and resources. In an inventory session, we can review all parts of your issue. For example, components such as investments (making a business case), the impact on human resources, process risks, business continuity and future-proofing are covered and we can provide advice about your Cloud readiness drop off.

Strategic Plan for Cloud Transformation

If the inventory shows that there is sufficient capacity for a Cloud implementation, we would be happy to jointly highlight all parts of the Cloud transformation and translate this into a strategic plan and business case. The aim here is to be able to provide a clear answer to the question based on our expertise: to Cloud or not to Cloud?

Technical advice

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

Tailored technical cloud advice

Infrastructure as a Service van Fundaments has a solid foundation.
