Software and cloud, without the complexity of managing it alone

Assessment, planning, licensing and migration to cloud and hybrid environments are covered, along with ongoing operations once the move is complete.

Lifecycle stage · Source

The problem

Most enterprises are paying more for software and cloud than they need to, and getting less than they planned for

Licensing is purchased without a clear view of what is actually being used. Cloud migrations are planned without accounting for what happens to the on-premise hardware left behind. And managed cloud services are bolted on after the fact, not designed into the programme from the start.

The BlueMonk approach

Assessed, planned, migrated and managed, as one programme

Software licensing, cloud planning, migration and managed operations are scoped to a single plan, so licensing decisions, migration sequencing and day-two operations stay aligned instead of contradicting each other.

What the coverage includes

Licensing, assessment, migration and managed operations

Software Licensing

Procurement and management of enterprise software licences across major publishers.

Details

Vendor-agnostic advisory, the right licence model for your usage, not the easiest sale for a reseller.

Cloud Assessment

Review of your current environment, workloads, dependencies, data volumes and cost drivers, to determine what moves to cloud, what stays on-premise and what gets retired.

Cloud Platform Planning

Architecture and platform selection based on your workload requirements, compliance obligations and cost targets. No platform bias.

Cloud Migration

Structured migration of workloads, data and applications to cloud or hybrid infrastructure, with testing, cutover planning and acceptance documentation.

Cloud Managed Services

Ongoing management of your cloud environment, monitoring, optimisation, incident management and cost governance, after migration is complete.

Licensing Optimisation

Audit of existing licence entitlements against actual usage. Renewals managed against the right tier.

Details

Compliance risk identified and resolved before it becomes a problem.

Who this is for

Who it is for

Enterprises planning a cloud migration

Assessment and migration as one coordinated programme, with on-premise retirement built in.

Organisations with complex licensing estates

Vendor-agnostic advisory on the right licence model, renewal management and compliance.

GCCs establishing India cloud operations

Cloud infrastructure set up correctly from day one, with managed operations from go-live.

Teams moving off on-premise infrastructure

Migration planned with data-centre exit coordinated in parallel.

How it works

What your migration involves

  1. 01

    Assess

    Your current environment, workloads, licensing, costs and dependencies.

  2. 02

    Recommend

    The right approach, what moves, what stays, what gets retired.

  3. 03

    Migrate

    Plan and execute the migration, structured, tested and documented.

  4. 04

    Manage

    The environment post-migration, monitoring, optimisation and governance.

  5. 05

    Retire in parallel

    On-premise hardware retirement coordinated in parallel, data destroyed, assets recovered.

Next step

Assess your cloud and licensing position

Share your current environment and objectives, and the right approach is confirmed before anything moves.
