What's Included
Cloud Readiness Assessment
Evaluate your applications, databases, infrastructure, team capabilities, compliance requirements, and business objectives for cloud readiness. We categorize workloads using the 6R framework, assess team skills gaps, and build the business case with projected ROI, TCO comparison, and realistic adoption timeline.
Platform Selection
Vendor-neutral evaluation of AWS, Azure, and GCP against your specific requirements — workload characteristics, compliance needs, existing licensing (especially Microsoft), team skills, and budget. We produce a detailed comparison with scoring across 15+ criteria and a clear recommendation with documented rationale.
Landing Zone Deployment
Deploy the foundational cloud environment: account structure, networking with hub-spoke or transit gateway, IAM with least-privilege policies, security baseline with threat detection, centralized logging, cost governance with budget alerts, and compliance guardrails — all defined in Terraform for reproducibility.
Governance Framework
Establish cloud governance covering: resource tagging standards for cost allocation, naming conventions, change management procedures, security policies with automated enforcement, cost approval workflows, and compliance monitoring. Governance prevents the chaos that ungoverned cloud adoption creates.
Team Enablement
Cloud skills training customized to your team's role and experience level — engineers learn cloud services and IaC, operations teams learn monitoring and incident response, security teams learn cloud-native security tools. Guided deployments where your team works alongside ours build real confidence.
Phased Migration Execution
Execute migration in planned waves starting with a well-chosen pilot workload. Each wave includes assessment, migration, validation, and optimization before proceeding to the next. This approach builds team experience, validates methodology, and delivers value incrementally while managing risk.

Cloud Adoption Done Right From Day One
Moving to the cloud for the first time is daunting — the decisions you make now about platform, architecture, governance, and security will shape your technology landscape for years. Organizations that rush cloud adoption without proper planning discover costly mistakes months later: wrong platform choices, security gaps, runaway costs, and governance failures that require expensive remediation. Opsio's cloud adoption services provide end-to-end guidance from initial strategy through production operations. We start with a cloud readiness assessment that evaluates your applications, data, team capabilities, compliance requirements, and business objectives. Then we recommend the right platform, design the landing zone, build governance frameworks, enable your team, and execute phased migration.
The landing zone is the foundation of successful cloud adoption. It includes account structure (AWS Organizations, Azure Management Groups, or GCP Organization), networking architecture, identity and access management, security baseline, logging and monitoring, cost governance, and compliance guardrails. We deploy everything with Infrastructure as Code so it is reproducible, auditable, and maintainable.
Team enablement is critical for cloud adoption success. We do not just migrate workloads and hand over the keys — we train your team on cloud operations, establish operational runbooks, conduct guided deployments where your engineers participate alongside ours, and provide 90-day post-adoption support to ensure your team is confident and capable.
Common cloud adoption mistakes we prevent: choosing a platform based on developer preference rather than workload fit, deploying without a proper landing zone and retrofitting governance later, underestimating the cultural change required for cloud operations, failing to establish cost governance from day one, and trying to migrate everything at once instead of starting with a well-chosen pilot.
Evaluating cloud adoption services cost? Readiness assessment runs $5,000-$15,000. Landing zone deployment costs $10,000-$25,000. Phased migration execution ranges from $25,000-$100,000+ depending on workload count. The investment prevents costly mistakes that organizations without guidance discover 6-12 months into their cloud journey.

Cloud Adoption Services — From Strategy to Production — FAQ
How do I start with cloud adoption?
Start with a cloud readiness assessment. We evaluate your applications, infrastructure, team capabilities, compliance requirements, and business objectives to determine the right cloud platform, migration strategy, and adoption timeline. The assessment produces a clear roadmap with phased milestones, projected costs, and ROI timeline — giving you and your stakeholders confidence to proceed. The assessment also identifies quick wins that can demonstrate cloud value early, building organizational momentum and executive support for the broader adoption program.
How much does cloud adoption cost?
Cloud readiness assessment: $5,000-$15,000. Landing zone deployment: $10,000-$25,000. Pilot migration (2-3 workloads): $10,000-$25,000. Full phased migration: $25,000-$100,000+ depending on workload count and complexity. Team enablement is included in every engagement. The investment prevents costly mistakes that ungoverned cloud adoption creates. Organizations that skip proper planning typically spend 2-3x more remediating governance, security, and architecture problems discovered months later than they would have spent doing it right from the start. All pricing is fixed after assessment with no surprise charges.
How long does cloud adoption take?
Assessment takes 2-3 weeks. Landing zone and foundation takes 3-4 weeks. Pilot migration takes 3-4 weeks. Remaining workload migration depends on volume — typically 3-6 months for 20-50 workloads. Total time from assessment to full production operation is typically 4-8 months for mid-size organizations. We provide detailed milestone timelines after assessment so your stakeholders can plan around key dates, and each phase includes clear completion criteria that must be met before proceeding to the next.
Which cloud platform should I choose?
Platform selection depends on your specific requirements. AWS offers the broadest service portfolio and largest ecosystem. Azure is ideal for Microsoft-centric organizations with Active Directory and M365. GCP excels at data analytics and AI/ML workloads. We evaluate all three against your workloads, compliance needs, team skills, and budget to recommend the best fit. Our evaluation uses a structured scoring framework across 15+ criteria with weighted scoring that reflects your priorities, ensuring the recommendation is data-driven rather than based on familiarity or market share.
What is a landing zone?
A landing zone is the foundational cloud environment that receives your workloads. It includes account structure for isolation and governance, networking architecture for connectivity, IAM policies for access control, security baseline for threat detection, logging for visibility, and cost governance for budget management. Without a proper landing zone, cloud adoption creates security and governance debt that is expensive to remediate later. We deploy landing zones using Infrastructure as Code so every component is version-controlled, auditable, and can be reproduced consistently as your cloud environment grows.
Do you train our team on cloud?
Yes — team enablement is included in every cloud adoption engagement. We provide role-based training: engineers learn cloud services and Infrastructure as Code, operations teams learn monitoring and incident response, security teams learn cloud-native security tools. Guided deployments where your team works alongside ours build practical skills and confidence. Our goal is self-sufficiency — we build your team's capability so they can operate independently, not create a permanent dependency on external support for routine cloud operations.
What is the 6R framework?
The 6R framework categorizes workloads by migration strategy: Rehost (lift-and-shift), Replatform (lift-tinker-shift to managed services), Refactor (re-architect for cloud-native), Repurchase (replace with SaaS), Retire (decommission), and Retain (keep on-premises). During assessment, we categorize every workload to determine the optimal migration strategy. This classification prevents the common mistake of applying the same migration approach to every workload, which either wastes money on unnecessary complexity or misses optimization opportunities. Each category has different cost, timeline, and risk profiles that inform your migration planning.
How do you prevent cloud cost surprises?
Cost governance is established from day one during landing zone deployment. We configure budget alerts at 50%, 75%, and 90% thresholds, implement tagging standards for cost attribution, create approval workflows for large resource provisioning, and set up monthly cost review processes. Organizations that establish governance during adoption avoid the runaway costs that plague ungoverned environments. Early governance also builds a culture of cost awareness within your engineering teams, making cost-efficient resource usage a habit rather than an afterthought that requires expensive correction later.
What if we need to keep some workloads on-premises?
Many organizations maintain hybrid environments — some workloads on-premises and others in cloud. During assessment, we identify workloads that should remain on-premises (due to latency, data residency, or regulatory requirements) and design hybrid connectivity. Our cloud adoption services include hybrid architecture design when needed. Opsio designs hybrid connectivity with redundancy and failover so communication between on-premises and cloud workloads is reliable and performant, ensuring applications that span both environments operate seamlessly.
Do you provide support after cloud adoption?
Yes. Every engagement includes 90 days of post-adoption support covering operational questions, incident assistance, and optimization recommendations. After the support period, we offer optional ongoing managed cloud services — 24/7 monitoring, security management, cost optimization, and operational support by the same team that guided your adoption. The 90-day support period ensures your team has a safety net while building confidence with cloud operations, and we gradually reduce our involvement as your team demonstrates proficiency.
