The cloud journey starts with a cloud-readiness assessment, our analysis methodology, in which we assess different aspects of migrating applications, such as feasibility, delivery model, business economics and security.

The service combines the experience of cloud experts, industry standards, exact tools and TietoEVRY best practices to give the customer clear insight into their current IT assets and provide a way forward towards GCP migrations.

Tietoevry GCP Design & Build is a structured set of services that are built to enable and improve each customer’s GCP adaptation. The services are designed from the ground up. with a heavy emphasis on automation, compatibility with modern software delivery & DevOps, security, continuous improvement and managing GCP‘s highly dynamic environment.

The GCP Design & Build service allows customers to establish a foundation of appropriate service components based on their requirements and existing capabilities, as well as the migrated workloads.

Once the assessment and GCP Landing Zone phases are completed and approved by the customer, the migration phase can begin. The first step of the migration phase is Pilot. This is done to establish a reasonable technical path towards ensuring maximum coverage and highlighting unique technical considerations (including risks and strategies) that are typical to the landscape, and which may have been missed in the discovery and assessment phase or during planning.

During the actual migration phase, the activities are cyclical, focused on move groups -specific planning and preparations, deployment and the configuration of GCP resources, as well as collaborative activities throughout the process.

Our Cloud Migration service combines the experience of cloud experts, best practices and the right tools to bring your business a cost-efficient migration to GCP on any scale. To ensure the quality of service, Tietoevry will act and communicate according to the predefined workflow, runbook and communication plans.

The last step of the GCP Migration Approach is transferring the migrated workloads to Tietoevry’s Managed Cloud. Managed Cloud is a modular set of services that are built to operate and improve a customer’s GCP environment. The service allows customers to select the appropriate service components based on their requirements and existing capabilities.

Regardless of the chosen modules, the service offers the following:

• 24/7 monitoring and incident management
• Cloud environment development
• Service management

The 24/7 management service ensures that business-critical cloud workloads run smoothly, with any potential incidents that could impact production systems - or other defined environments - remediated. The service also supports all new requirements that arise from new workloads or needs that have already been identified within existing workloads.

Typical development work includes increasing the automation rate or building new automated solutions, solving root cause issues behind a series of incidents or performance issues, as well as supporting development teams with DevOps methodologies, tooling and pipeline management. Service management provides professional governance of the service and can support customers with non-technical topics.
