About your meeting
1. Describe Your Challenge & Vision
2. Get Your Platform Roadmap
3. Achieve Your Business Goals
Why should we consider Platform Engineering?
Platforms are not for everyone: startups and smaller teams will do well with a Cloud Engineer; bigger teams will be effective with a dedicated DevOps professional; and only larger orgs with complex infrastructure needs will benefit from Platform Engineering. Adopting the Platform Engineering mindset helps achieve better developer productivity by reducing engineers' time and effort spent setting up and managing infrastructure & development tools.
When should organizations implement Platform Engineering practices?
Organizations benefit from Platform Engineering the most when standardization and centralization helps them manage multiple products, diverse application architectures, and many unique software development teams' practices and tools.
How does a typical Platform Engineering Consulting engagement work?
Once you schedule a meeting with our platform engineering experts, our team will chat with you to gain a deeper understanding of your project, you requirements, and your business goals. Then, we arrive at the most appropriate engagement model, agree on the statement of work, then kick off the project with regular updates through a dedicated channel and regular sync meetings.
We already chose a platform to implement, how can you help?
The success of a platform depends on adopting the platform approach and customizing the chosen technology to meet the organization’s long-term needs. We can help align the requirements and objectives with your engineering capabilities and preferences to build a platform that ensure each team can meet their needs and uses the platform.
