With cloud being such a crucial part of technology solutions for organisations, it is essential to fully understand the various models and options available. More and more applications are being offered as a SaaS (Software as a Service) model and combined with the traditional cloud hosting solutions. It has become paramount for organisations to explore these options and determine the best solutions, from both innovation and budgetary perspective.
Our cloud transformation is a more in-depth engagement process that forms part of our continuous partnership with firms and the advice provided around the various products on the market and exploring the options provided by true SaaS products or even aspects such as Office 365 capabilities.
Considerations

More organisations are considering cloud platforms for their practice management software and applications, which requires a more practical approach to ensure that the entire infrastructure and application sets are integrated in a uniformed environment.

- Risk & security analyses, combined with analyses on total cost of ownership
