What we do
Cloud transformation delivered by independent, embedded experts
Every engagement starts with clarity on the difference between cloud migration and cloud transformation - the scope, risk profile and governance requirements differ significantly, and getting that framing right shapes the entire delivery approach.
Cloud Migration Strategy
We design pragmatic migration roadmaps - lift-and-shift, re-platform or re-architect - aligned to your commercial objectives and risk appetite. No vendor allegiance.
Platform Modernisation
Legacy estate rationalisation, application containerisation and API-first redesign delivered by embedded practitioners who remain accountable for outcomes.
Cloud Governance & Security
FinOps frameworks, landing zone design, IAM policies and regulatory compliance (FCA, PRA, public sector). Our governance-led delivery draws on MSP (Managing Successful Programmes), PRINCE2 and OGC Gateway-style independent assurance reviews at key programme milestones. Governance that scales with your cloud footprint.
Why UK organisations choose Intology for cloud transformation
Unlike hyperscaler professional services or SI-aligned cloud practices, Intology carries no platform incentive. We embed senior cloud practitioners directly into your programme - working alongside your architects, engineers and business teams to ensure the migration strategy serves your commercial objectives, not a cloud vendor's consumption targets. Our independence means hard calls on build vs buy, platform selection and cost governance are made for your benefit.

FAQ
Cloud transformation, answered
What does a cloud transformation consultancy do?+
A cloud transformation consultancy helps organisations plan, govern and deliver the migration of workloads, data and processes from on-premise or legacy environments into cloud platforms - typically AWS, Azure or GCP. The scope covers strategy and roadmap, vendor selection, migration execution, operating model redesign, FinOps, security posture and change management. An independent consultancy, unlike a system integrator, carries no platform incentive and can provide impartial guidance across all three hyperscalers.
Why use an independent cloud consultancy rather than a hyperscaler's professional services?+
Hyperscaler professional services teams are incentivised to maximise consumption on their own platforms. An independent consultancy like Intology has no such incentive - we can recommend the right architecture, the right migration path and the right commercial model for your situation, which may include multi-cloud, hybrid or selective rationalisation approaches that a hyperscaler would be unlikely to propose.
How do you approach cloud migration for regulated industries?+
Regulatory constraint - FCA, PRA, NHS, public sector procurement rules - is a design input, not an afterthought. We bring regulatory-aware architects into the programme from day one, ensuring data residency, audit logging, disaster recovery and third-party risk obligations are addressed in the architecture and not retrofitted post-migration.
Can you recover a stalled cloud migration programme?+
Yes. Stalled migrations - typically caused by scope creep, underestimated complexity, dependency failures or loss of business engagement - are a common recovery engagement for Intology. Our 30-day stabilisation model applies equally to cloud programmes: independent diagnostic, governance reset, re-baselining and a credible recovery plan the board can stand behind.
How quickly will we see benefits from a cloud migration?+
With effective governance and change management in place, benefits typically begin to land within 60 to 90 days of migration completion. Intology compresses the discovery and planning phases to under four weeks, which accelerates the point at which workloads are live and generating value - well ahead of an industry average that often exceeds six months to first measurable benefit.
