  • Ensure seamless integration of applications with cloud platforms, third-party services, and hybrid cloud environments

Cost Management and Optimisation:

  • Implement cloud cost management strategies to ensure customers realise maximum value from their cloud investments
  • Optimise cloud spend by recommending appropriate cloud services, scaling, and resource management strategies
