Architecture assessment
We map the current state — accounts, services, networking, cost, security posture — and write up a risk-ranked picture you can share with your board.
Cloud Architecture
Architecture that doesn't become the bottleneck. Designed for the workloads you actually run.
What this is
Architecture you can hand to your team.
Cloud platforms reward good architecture and punish drift. Most setups we see were sound on day one — and slowly turned into a tangle of accounts, services, and exceptions nobody owns. We design platforms on AWS, Azure, or GCP that hold their shape under load: networking, identity, data, deployment, and cost governance — all decided together, all defined in code. Multi-cloud only when it earns its complexity. What you get: an architecture document with the trade-offs written down, an Infrastructure-as-Code baseline your engineers can extend, and a cost model with budget alerts wired in from day one.
What good architecture pays for.

How we work.
Five steps from current state to a platform your team can run.
Target design
Network, identity, data, deployment, cost. Each decision documented as an Architecture Decision Record. First IaC scaffold. First cost forecast.
Proof of concept
We stand up the architecture with a representative workload. Performance, cost, and security are validated against the design — before a cent moves to production.
Migration & automation
Staged migration with controlled cut-over windows. Deployments, monitoring, and compliance checks are automated end to end and documented.
Handover & coaching
Your team takes the helm — with runbooks, written processes, and coached operations. Our goal is your operational independence, not a retainer.
Client perspectives
Common questions.
A lift-and-shift is doable in four to eight weeks. Full modernisation with a redesign is three to six months. We give you a realistic estimate in the first call — based on your stack, not a template.
It depends on you. AWS has the broadest compliance coverage, Azure integrates best into Microsoft estates, GCP wins on data and Kubernetes-native workloads. We recommend what fits — we don't resell.
FinOps starts on day one, not after migration. We set budget guardrails, wire up anomaly alerts, and right-size continuously. Clients typically see 30–50% reductions in monthly spend within the first quarter.
Swiss data stays in Swiss regions when required. Architectures meet FADP/nDSG. Data residency, encryption, and access controls are designed into the platform — not added afterwards.
