UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE CLOUD WITH OUR END-TO-END SERVICES
ELCA's expertise and solutions cover all phases of the cloud adoption journey, from strategy to implementation and operations. With ELCA, transform your business with confidence.
Cloud adoption done right has many benefits, such as increased business agility, resiliency, scalability, and cost savings. However, the cloud journey can be complex. At ELCA, we propose to join forces and support your teams in all phases of your cloud adoption journey. We guide you in choosing the appropriate cloud model, whether it’s public, private, hybrid or multicloud, based on your context and your industry specifics. We partner with the largest public cloud providers, such as Microsoft and Amazon Web Services (AWS), and provide our own Swiss sovereign solution to cater to your unique needs.
At ELCA, we believe that successful cloud adoption requires a combination of technical expertise, cultural alignment, and effective collaboration between all stakeholders. Our emphasis on culture, people, and methodology sets us apart from other cloud service providers. We bridge the skills gap by onboarding your staff in the journey.
The journey to the cloud is an iterative process, and we're here to guide you every step of the way. Our four key phases - Onboard, Plan, Build, and Operate - are designed to be flexible and to have a flywheel effect. Throughout the entire process, we help you set up the governance, security, automation, support, and optimization processes to ensure maximum business impact and cost savings. With each iteration, the flywheel effect builds momentum, and the benefits of the cloud become more apparent. We want you to unlock the full potential of the cloud.
ONBOARD
Experience a seamless and secure journey to the cloud. Our expert team works closely with you to define your cloud vision and assess your current level of cloud maturity using our dedicated tools and methodology. We support you every step of the way, helping you address compliance, data security, and governance questions. From a technical perspective, we conduct an application portfolio assessment to identify where to leverage the cloud and how to optimize costs. We then design a cloud adoption plan to ensure a smooth transition to the cloud, and we provide guidance and resources to help you convince your stakeholders of the benefits of your cloud migration.
PLAN
We enable your cloud platform with foundational landing zones, including establishing the network infrastructure, setting up security measures to protect sensitive data, creating governance policies to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies, and setting up monitoring tools to keep track of the system's health and performance. For workloads, we assess your requirements and design a target solution architecture that is optimized for agility, resilience, efficiency, security, and cost savings. Our teams conduct well-architected reviews and ensure a smooth transition to the cloud, whether you're migrating existing applications, modernizing to cloud native, or developing new solutions.
BUILD
We build and deploy cloud-optimized applications and platforms that help you reap the benefits of the cloud. Our team of experts can assist with a range of activities related to application modernization and custom cloud-native development. We have a proven methodology to deliver value in time, on budget and in co-creation with your staff. Furthermore, we support you in the adoption of data platforms and advanced analytics, including implementation of datalakes and data warehouses, as well as IoT (Internet of Things). We also help to implement various tools for remote work and collaboration, such as Microsoft 365, Teams and SharePoint, as well as business solutions like Dynamics 365, that help you become more agile, efficient, and competitive. We can take advantage of the ready-to-use available services in cloud platforms to reduce time to market, ensure data security, and build a cohesive portfolio of applications.
OPERATE
We provide "up to the app" managed services for your cloud environment and the applications running on it. Our services include 24/7 support located in Switzerland, customized application management, digital workplace management, DevSecOps software factories, FinOps, and managed security services to protect your assets against cyber threats. We manage the complexity of your multi-cloud setups and business-critical applications, maintaining high levels of security, performance, and availability. Our FinOps services help you optimize your cloud spending, while our managed security services ensure that your infrastructure meets regulatory requirements.
Cloud adoption is not a one-time event, but a continuous journey. As your organization evolves and new workloads are created, there may be a need to re-evaluate your cloud strategy, governance, company organization, and automation processes. Whether you are exploring the cloud for the first time or seeking to optimize your existing cloud infrastructure, ELCA is there for you.
