A Cloud Roadmap Before the Build

An assessment and roadmap engagement that reviews your current infrastructure, models the cost of each option, and lays out a phased plan for migration or adoption, before any engineering work begins.

50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.

Why It Matters

Choosing a cloud path without a plan gets expensive fast

Migrating workloads or picking a provider without reviewing architecture and cost first often means rework, mismatched services, and a bill that does not match what was expected.

Assess Before You Commit

A clear picture of what you run today

We review your current infrastructure, workloads and spend so any recommendation is grounded in what you actually run, not a generic template.

  • Current infrastructure and workloads mapped.
  • Spend reviewed against actual usage.
  • Findings shared before any recommendation.

A Plan You Can Act On

A phased roadmap, not a slide deck that sits unused

Each roadmap breaks the move into phases with a cost model attached, so you can approve one phase at a time instead of committing to the whole migration up front.

  • Phased plan with a cost model per phase.
  • Approve one phase before the next starts.
  • Written to hand to your team or ours.

The Roadmap

Four phases, each with a cost model attached

Illustrative roadmap. Your own phases and timeline depend on the workloads, providers and constraints involved.

1
Weeks 1-2
Assess

Map current infrastructure, workloads, spend and constraints.

2
Weeks 2-3
Design

Choose a provider fit and lay out the target architecture.

3
Phased
Migrate

Move workloads in approved phases, one at a time.

4
Ongoing
Optimize

Review cost and performance once workloads are live.

How It Works

From current state to an approved roadmap in a few weeks

1
Share current setup
Tell us what you run today and what is driving the move.
2
Assessment
We map infrastructure, workloads and spend against the goal.
3
Roadmap delivered
A phased plan with a cost model, usually within two to three weeks.
4
Review and approve
You approve one phase at a time, at your own pace.
5
Execute or hand off
We carry out the plan, or hand it to your engineering team.
What's Included

Everything a roadmap needs before you commit budget

📋

Provider comparison

A review of which provider fits your workloads and team, when that choice is still open.

💰

Cost modeling

A cost estimate attached to each phase, not one number for the whole migration.

🏗️

Target architecture

A diagram of where workloads land and how they connect once the move is done.

⚠️

Migration risk review

The dependencies and cutover risks flagged before they become a problem mid-move.

🏷️

Governance and tagging

A plan for account structure and cost tagging from the first resource created.

Why Us

Why teams use TCB Infotech for cloud consulting

1
We plan the way we build
The same rigor we use on delivery projects goes into every assessment and roadmap.
2
No push toward a single provider
The recommendation follows the workload and your team's skills, not a preferred vendor.
3
Cost modeled, not guessed
Every phase carries an estimate you can check before approving it.
4
Built to be actionable
The roadmap is written so it can be executed directly, not just presented.
5
Plan and build, if you want both
We can execute the roadmap ourselves or hand it to your engineering team.
6
Proven delivery
50+ ERP and software projects, with zero failed projects since 2021.
FAQ

Cloud Consulting, answered

What does a cloud consulting engagement actually deliver?
You get a written assessment of your current infrastructure and spend, plus a phased roadmap that covers provider choice, target architecture and a cost model for each phase of the move.
How is this different from just migrating and figuring it out along the way?
Migrating without a plan often means picking services that do not fit the workload, then reworking them later. An assessment and roadmap first means the architecture and cost are reviewed before any engineering time is spent.
How long does it take to get a roadmap?
Most roadmaps are delivered within two to three weeks of the assessment starting, depending on how many workloads and systems need to be reviewed.
Do you help pick between AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, or just review what we already chose?
Both. If no provider is chosen yet, the assessment compares options against your workloads and team skills. If a provider is already chosen, we review whether the current setup still fits.
Does the roadmap include cost estimates?
Yes. Every phase in the roadmap carries a cost model, so you can see the expected spend before approving that phase.
Can you also execute the migration, or only plan it?
We can execute the plan we deliver, or hand it to your own engineering team. Either way, the roadmap is written to be actionable, not just a slide deck.

Cloud Consulting Features

How Cloud Consulting Works

From current infrastructure to an approved, phased roadmap. Here is how we assess, model cost and hand off or execute the plan.

Core Process

Assessment, roadmap and execution, in that order

Assessment

A review of what you actually run today

We map current infrastructure, workloads and spend before recommending anything, so the roadmap is grounded in your real environment rather than a generic checklist.

  • Infrastructure, workloads and spend reviewed.
  • Findings shared before any recommendation.
  • Usually complete within one to two weeks.

Roadmap and Cost Modeling

A phased plan with a cost model per phase

The roadmap lays out target architecture and breaks the move into phases, each with its own cost estimate, so you can approve one step at a time.

  • Target architecture defined.
  • Cost model attached to each phase.
  • Approve one phase before the next starts.

Handover or Execution

A plan you can run with, either way

We can execute the roadmap ourselves or hand it to your engineering team, with the architecture and phasing documented well enough to act on directly.

  • Documentation ready for your own team.
  • Or executed directly by TCB Infotech.
  • Cost and performance reviewed once live.
