We walk you through the entire process
1. Strategy: Align Cloud Adoption with business goals
Define your key objectives and what you want the outcome to look like. This means your cloud adoption will align with your business strategy for real-world measurable value.
2. Plan: Assess & develop a cloud roadmap
Evaluate your existing IT infrastructure, applications, and workloads. Here, the key is to identify risks and dependencies, helping to build a structured migration strategy.
3. Ready: Establish governance & security foundations
Prepare for migration by implementing security controls, identity management, and operational best practices. This is a surefire way of avoiding any hiccups along the way.
4. Adopt: Modernise your workload
Execute the migration plan, using rehosting, refactoring, or rebuilding strategies to transition applications and workloads efficiently.
5. Govern & manage: Ensure ongoing security & optimisation
Implement continuous monitoring, compliance policies, and cost management to maintain a secure, high-performance cloud environment.
Working in real-world success: The Department of Finance
The Australian Government Property Register (AGPR) required a modern data platform with enhanced security, real-time insights, and external data integration. When they implemented Azure cloud automation, AI-driven data insights, and took a structured migration approach, we helped future proof their digital transformation.
Challenges faced
The Department of Finance struggled with limited reporting capabilities, making data-driven decision-making difficult. Managing property data required a secure, scalable analytics platform, but reliance on multiple applications caused inefficiencies. Additionally, compliance with government data security regulations was critical, requiring strict governance controls.
The solution
Partnering with Playtime Solutions, the department implemented a cloud-based Azure Data Analytics Platform using Azure Synapse, Data Lake, and Power BI. This solution enabled real-time data insights, automated reporting, and improved governance, ensuring scalability and compliance with Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework.
The outcome
The platform delivered faster data processing, improved security with role-based access, and reduced costs through cloud optimisation. Seamless external data integration enhanced reporting capabilities, providing more accurate insights for better decision-making.
