Building the Optimal Enterprise Cloud
No matter the cloud platform, AHEAD helps you optimize your cloud consumption for the agility, scalability, and security your business demands.
- We utilize a consistent, end-to-end framework for application modernization and migration that provides a repeatable execution methodology.
- Modernize fast with minimal disruption. Our infrastructure experts implement a strong IaC foundation in your cloud platform of choice, containerize workloads to ensure success, and fast track you to automation of key cloud technologies.
- Modernize the heavy hitting apps you use the most, such as EPIC. AHEAD teams work cross-functionally to ensure proper hardware procurement, increase scalability and meet operational demand, control costs, and fortify cyber resiliency for major applications.
- From platform engineering to DevOps to hybrid infrastructure and networking, there is a playbook behind every element of the AHEAD operating model. We can teach your teams or manage the solutions for you.
- Our public cloud accelerator can rapidly instantiate Azure, AWS, or the public cloud of your choice with all the automation and code you need to run a well-oiled machine to put your workloads on. Security automation is also integrated into all our accelerators.
- Our platform engineering accelerators help you instantiate infrastructure automation and give you the tools needed for CI/CD and setting up containers if necessary.
- AHEAD FinOps teams, in conjunction with our managed cloud services teams, help you gain insights into existing cloud spend, forecast where your spend is going, and optimize your existing cloud deployments.
- Our workshops give visibility into existing cloud workloads, account for shared costs to business units, and implement rigorous tagging and governance to assist with accurate reporting.
- We integrate industry-leading tools into AWS, Azure, or GCP environments, so you can accurately predict usage, detect anomalies, and optimize spend across all clouds.
