The Right Advice
BUI’s Cloud Discovery Offering is an affordable and structured engagement, consisting of workshops with key stakeholders to determine whether your people, environment and systems are cloud ready.
Cloud Discovery combines different sessions addressing the business, technical and system needs, using a defined framework guiding discussions within the following three critical segments: people, technology and processes, and the impact cloud adoption will have on your business.
