Workload assessment
Map applications, data, integrations and dependencies before choosing a platform. Check what can be hosted, what needs to remain local and what users need to access.
Move the right workloads, with ownership clear from the start.

Assess which workloads fit a hosted or cloud environment and which need to stay on premises. Plan migration, connectivity, access and ongoing responsibility together.
Map applications, data, integrations and dependencies before choosing a platform. Check what can be hosted, what needs to remain local and what users need to access.
Agree sequencing, permissions, connectivity and acceptance checks. Define how the previous environment will be retained or retired and what happens if cutover needs to be reversed.
Clarify platform charges, management scope, updates and backup. Establish who handles changes and how resource usage will be reviewed over time.
Cloud is not automatically cheaper or more suitable for every workload. Compare application compatibility, resource consumption, data requirements and connectivity with your current environment before committing to a move.
Read our full cloud services overview →For a Sheffield business with office IT alongside workshop, warehouse or specialist equipment, start by drawing the boundaries. Not every connected device can be patched in the same way, and changes should account for supplier responsibilities and operational downtime.
Your cloud services brief should account for how people work, the systems they depend on and any changes you are planning. The points below help connect those requirements to the wider environment.
Inventory specialist devices and identify the vendors responsible for them. Discuss network separation and safe maintenance windows before changing switches, wireless or security settings.
Service planning: List application and identity dependencies.
Document which systems depend on local hardware and which can be recovered in the cloud. Agree recovery priorities and test restore procedures rather than treating a successful backup job as the whole plan.
Before making changes: Confirm resource, storage and data-location requirements.
Applications, dependencies, storage requirements, current hosting and acceptable maintenance windows.
Request a cloud services consultation →Yes, a hybrid approach can be considered where applications or operational requirements make it appropriate. The design needs to account for connections between environments, access control and the responsibility for each component.
