In today’s fast-moving digital landscape, a resilient cloud strategy isn’t optional; it’s essential. Businesses need agility, scalability and innovation to be confident that their cloud environments can withstand disruption, support compliance and evolve with their needs. 

 

Navigating the complexity of multi-cloud platforms, such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, can be a challenge. Each platform offers hundreds of evolving services, and knowing which to use and how to integrate them effectively requires deep insight and constant adaptation. 

 

The value of strategic partnerships

 

That's where strategic partnerships can make a difference. Our relationships with GCP, AWS and Azure give us early access to new technologies and help us shape emerging capabilities through direct collaboration, while bringing forward practical strategies that help clients adopt the cloud with clarity and confidence. 

 

For example, our partnership with GCP strengthens our ability to deliver cloud solutions that are resilient by design, while still being high performing. We apply proven practices for business continuity, disaster recovery and stressed exit readiness that help clients meet operational resilience regulations such as the UK’s PRA SS2/21 and the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), from day one. 

 

These partnerships aren't just about access.  They’re about co-developing, testing and refining solutions directly with cloud providers. Whether it’s accelerating deployment or ensuring compliance, we help our clients get a head start. 

 

Engineering for integration and resilience

 

At the heart of our cloud delivery model is deep technical integration. We build platforms and services that work natively with GCP, AWS and Azure, from cloud-native data pipelines and secure serverless architectures to tailored security frameworks and workload migration strategies. 

 

Our engineering teams track updates across each provider’s portfolio of products, so our clients don’t have to. This enables faster decision-making, stronger alignment with business goals and the efficient adoption of new capabilities. 

 

Just as importantly, we engineer for the pressures businesses face in the real world, not just for technical specifications. That means building multi-cloud architectures that include failover capabilities, portable workloads and exit plans tailored to both business resilience and regulatory obligations. 

 

Accelerators and expertise make for faster outcomes

 

Our cloud practice is powered by accelerators. These proprietary tools and frameworks help streamline cloud adoption, reduce time-to-value and embed resilience from the outset. This includes tools for multi-cloud orchestration and portability, templates for stressed exit testing, and playbooks aligned with regulatory frameworks, including PRA SS2/21 and EU DORA. 

 

In addition to the above, we hold cloud specialisations across AI/ML, data platforms and regulated industries, and they’re all verified through CSP partner programmes. These credentials demonstrate our ability to deliver tailored, high-impact solutions at scale. 

 

Partnering for innovation and future readiness

 

Transformation thrives on innovation, and our partnerships enable it. 

 

Working closely with GCP, AWS and Azure, our teams explore emerging technologies, guide early-stage adoption and advise on and design forward-thinking strategies. Whether it’s building scalable platforms with GCP’s AI and analytics services, deploying resilient apps on AWS’s serverless stack, or enabling hybrid environments through Azure Arc, we help clients innovate securely and confidently. 

 

These collaborations enable faster, safer innovation, and help clients evolve while staying compliant, secure and resilient. 

 

Accelerating digital transformation, minimising risks  

 

Ultimately, our goal is to help clients realise tangible business value from their cloud investments. We want them not just to have operational improvements, but measurable outcomes. 

 

Whether it’s reducing risk, enhancing customer experience or accelerating speed-to-market, we use our partnerships to deliver cloud solutions that are resilient, compliant and built to adapt.  

We believe that a truly modern cloud strategy must account for both innovation and resilience. The ability to evolve matters, but the ability to endure matters just as much.
