01 — Cloud Transformation

From strategy to
cloud-native governance

I guide organisations through every stage of their cloud journey — from initial strategy and feasibility through migration execution, modernisation, and ongoing governance. Deep, hands-on experience across different public cloud service providers.

Core Services

End-to-end cloud
journey management

Cloud transformation isn't a one-time event — it's a continuous journey. I bring the experience to guide organisations through every phase: building the business case, planning and executing migration, modernising legacy workloads, and establishing the governance needed to sustain a well-architected estate long-term.

Service 01
Cloud Strategy & Feasibility Study
StrategyTCO ModellingRoadmap

Assess your current estate, define a cloud-first vision, and produce a business case. I bring structure and evidence to what can otherwise be an uncertain conversation.

  • Current-state assessment — estate inventory, application dependencies, technical debts
  • Cloud-first vision and platform selection
  • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) modelling and financial business case
  • Risk analysis and migration risk register
  • Prioritised cloud adoption roadmap with phased delivery plan
Service 02
Cloud Migration
6Rs AnalysisPortfolio AssessmentMigration Execution

End-to-end migration planning and execution, built on solid architectural foundations. I use a structured 6Rs analysis to determine the right migration strategy for every workload in your portfolio.

  • Application portfolio assessment — dependency mapping, risk scoring, prioritisation
  • 6Rs analysis per workload: Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain
  • Migration wave planning and sequencing
  • Cloud foundation setup
  • Execution support, cutover planning, and post-migration validation
Service 03
Cloud-Native Architecture & Modernisation
MicroservicesServerlessEvent-Driven ArchitectureDDD

Design and build cloud-native applications and modernise legacy workloads using proven architectural patterns. I help engineering teams move beyond lift-and-shift to architectures that fully exploit cloud capabilities.

  • Cloud-native architecture design using microservices, event-driven, and serverless patterns
  • Container strategy
  • Legacy modernisation using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and strangler-fig patterns
  • API design and integration layer modernisation
Service 04
Cloud Governance & Security Architecture
GovernanceSecurityComplianceRetainer

Establishing governance and security from the start — not as an afterthought. I help organisations to build the structures, standards, and tools needed to keep their cloud estate secure, compliant, and well-architected over time.

  • Architecture Review Board (ARB) setup and facilitation
  • Cloud technical standards and guardrails
  • Ongoing governance retainers — regular reviews, standards maintenance, exception management
Why RoyTech Consulting

What sets my approach apart

Hands-On, Not Advisory

I work alongside your teams — not just producing slide decks. I have designed, migrated, and governed cloud estates at scale.

Business Outcome Focus

Every recommendation is grounded in business value. I connect technical decisions to cost, risk, speed, and the outcomes that matter to your board and leadership.

Governance Built In

I don't just migrate and leave. I establish the governance structures, technical standards, and review processes that sustain a well-architected estate long after the engagement.
