Cloud & Platform

Thinking differently: The cloud as a value driver

Discover how the cloud has become a key enabler of business agility

Read our white paper

Harness the cloud as a platform for change, allowing you to experiment with new technologies, foster greater user engagement, and create new services with a rapid time-to-market.

With an ever-increasing array of options available, creating a solid foundation in the cloud is a challenge. Moving to the cloud can also be hampered by complex in-house technology and the perennial challenge of legacy systems. While access to the public cloud appears easy and immediate, costs can quickly spiral if you don’t have a strategy and processes in place from the outset.

Achieve your goals with us

Whether you’re looking to reduce costs, increase agility, or access the latest advances in AI, we can help you on your cloud journey. We have created cloud strategies and migration plans for large, multinational companies and worked in some of the most challenging technology environments, bristling with legacy IT.

We design and develop cloud approaches that provide you with a common core infrastructure of shared digital systems, technology and processes, which will enable you to be more agile.

Scott Logic has partnerships with all of the public cloud providers – including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure – but we remain agnostic.

This means that we can recommend the best platform for your organisation, and our certified consultants can deliver your migration plan to meet your objectives.

Principles of our successful approach

Understand the context

We ensure a deep understanding of the technical, business and organisational context to design optimal, value-driven cloud migration plans.

Be principled, but pragmatic

We champion the technical vision while staying flexible to meet delivery goals. Our architects balance adherence to principles with the need for rapid, iterative progress aligned with strategic objectives.

The cloud is a value driver

The public cloud provides a platform for change and a foundation for business agility. It allows you to create new services, experiment with new technology, explore Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings and provide greater user engagement with a rapid time-to-market.

Cost control is critical

Public cloud provides easy and immediate access to technology, but this comes at a price. Proactive cost management and a mature FinOps process should be established from the outset.

Our tried-and-tested solutions

While our approach is always tailored to your needs, we have a range of tried-and-tested solutions that speed up delivery and drive a successful outcome.
