Has finance already asked about the cloud bill?
In a conversation, our expert goes through the bills and the environment with you and tells you what is worth assessing. We give you an exact quote after the conversation.

Cloud, your own servers or both: what should run where, and at what cost
Does this much cloud really pay off for you, or did it just turn out this way?
We plan what should run in the cloud and what on your own servers, and we carry out the move. If the cloud is too expensive, or systems have to come back for data sovereignty reasons, we handle the repatriation too. So when finance asks, you do not have to say you will look into it.
Assessment in 2-4 weeks · we do not sell cloud · ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
Does this sound familiar?
The cloud bill grows faster than usage, and finance is asking
We hear these sentences from IT and infrastructure leaders.
The monthly bill
The cloud bill keeps growing, and nobody has it under control
“We shouldn’t pay more for it than it is worth.”
CIO, large enterprise
The annual budget
Cloud costs cannot be planned
“Licences and the cloud shouldn’t eat up the budget.”
Head of infrastructure and databases, large enterprise
Finance asks
Nobody has compared the cloud with your own servers
“I don’t want to tell finance yet again that we’ll look into it.”
CIO, large enterprise
The move
Hidden dependencies come to light during the move
“I don’t want to be the one who botches a move that haunts us for years.”
CIO, large enterprise

How it works
A decision proposal first, the move after
01
Assessment
We go through the bills and the environment, and trace every line item to the system and the business need it belongs to.
02
Decision proposal
Based on the cost and risk analysis, we propose what should stay in the cloud and what should come back to your own servers.
03
Move
We carry out the move according to the migration plan, into the cloud or back from it.
04
Commissioning
We take the new environment live.
What you get
A comparison you can put in front of finance
If moving back pays off better, that is what we recommend.

Before you decide
Worth knowing
Who it is for: IT and finance directors and heads of operations at companies where the cloud bill has run away, data sovereignty is required, or hardware needs replacing.
What we need from you
Access to the bills and the environment.
Duration and pricing
The assessment takes 2-4 weeks; the time needed for the move depends on the size of the environment. We work at an hourly rate or for a fixed price.
What it builds on
Designing cloud and hybrid architectures, migration and operations, and a well-developed method for analysing cloud costs.
What it does not solve
We do not run data centres.

Frequently asked questions
What IT leaders usually ask
Do you only move systems into the cloud, or back out of it too?
In both directions. If the cloud is too expensive, or systems have to come back for data sovereignty reasons, we move them back.
How independent is your advice?
We do not sell cloud, so we have no interest in where the system runs. Our proposal is based on the cost and risk analysis.
How long does it take?
The assessment takes 2-4 weeks. The time needed for the move depends on the size of the environment.
How much does it cost?
We work at an hourly rate or for a fixed price. We give you an exact quote after the assessment or a conversation with one of our experts.
