Our Cloud Readiness Assessment comprises

two core modules:

1. StableLogic Readiness Assessment

StableLogic have over 30 years of experience as technology consultants, working with a diverse range of clients of all sizes. We are very familiar with the challenges of implementing IT changes, and the importance of being realistic.
 
We have implemented hundreds of technology migrations, and they never go quite as planned. But our experience gives us practical knowledge of how things work in the real world.
 
Our consultants will work with your stakeholders to complete the assessment. After we complete the process, we present our written findings.
1. Analysing the Business Case
This step involves evaluating whether moving to the cloud aligns with the organisation’s overall objectives and strategy. It assesses the potential benefits, such as cost savings, scalability, and agility, against the risks and challenges. By examining the current state and future goals, this analysis helps determine if cloud adoption will provide a significant return on investment (ROI) for the business.
2. Reviewing Licenses and License Costs
This involves a thorough review of existing software licenses and their associated costs to understand how they will translate to the cloud environment. It helps identify any potential cost savings from moving to cloud-based licensing models and ensures compliance with licensing agreements during and after migration.
3. Identifying Workloads and Performance Requirements
This step focuses on cataloguing all current workloads and understanding their performance requirements. It involves assessing the resource needs, interdependencies, and criticality of each workload to determine the best cloud hosting solutions. This ensures that the cloud infrastructure can meet or exceed current performance levels while providing scalability for future growth​.
4. Compiling a Migration Plan
The final step is developing a detailed migration plan that outlines the process for moving applications and data to the cloud. This plan includes timelines, resource allocation, risk mitigation strategies, and post-migration validation steps to ensure a smooth transition. It also addresses potential downtime, data integrity, and how to maintain business continuity throughout the migration, rounding off the cloud readiness assessment service and allowing you to move to the next phase of implementation.
1. Business Perspective
- The Business perspective ensures that cloud investments align with digital transformation goals and business outcomes. Key stakeholders include the CEO, CFO, COO, CIO, and CTO.
- It emphasises scaling pilots and realising sustained business benefits from cloud investments.
2. People Perspective

- Stakeholders include the CIO, COO, CTO, cloud directors, and cross-functional leaders.
3. Governance Perspective
- The Governance perspective orchestrates cloud initiatives while minimizing risks. It ensures organizational benefits are maximized.
- Stakeholders include the chief transformation officer, CIO, CTO, CFO, CDO, and CRO.
4. Platform Perspective
- Focused on building an enterprise-grade, scalable hybrid cloud platform, this perspective modernizes existing workloads and implements cloud-native solutions.
- Stakeholders include technology leaders, architects, and engineers.
5. Security Perspective
- The Security perspective ensures data confidentiality, integrity, and availability across cloud workloads.
+S5 - Stakeholders include the CISO, CCO, internal audit leaders, and security architects.
6. Operations Perspective
- This perspective addresses operational excellence, monitoring, and cost management.
- Stakeholders include operations teams, DevOps engineers, and cloud administrators.
