Cloud Strategy & Architecture

Make the right cloud decisions - clear, measurable, and built to last. We deliver the strategy and design; your team or partner delivers the build.

At TIDORA, strategy starts with outcomes, not tools. We assess where you are, define where you need to go, and produce the target architecture, governance, and execution roadmap. Every design is validated against the AWS Well-Architected Framework, Azure Well-Architected Framework, and the Google Cloud Architecture Framework - so delivery starts on solid ground.

What you get (deliverables)

• Readiness & Risk Assessment

Current-state review, dependency map, risk register, and prioritized quick wins.

• Target Architecture & Patterns

Reference designs for application, data, integration, network, and identity - implementation-ready for your engineers.

• Roadmap & Execution Backlog

Phased milestones, effort/timeline estimates, and an actionable backlog your team can run. (Advisory only - no hands-on build.)

• Well-Architected Review & Remediation Plan

Security, reliability, performance, cost, operations, and sustainability recommendations with evidence and priorities.

• Governance & Guardrails

Landing-zone principles, IAM and network policies, logging/observability standards, tagging and cost controls.

• Operating Model Design

SLO/SLI definitions, incident/CHANGE guidelines, and runbook templates to adapt in delivery.

• Investment Case

TCO model, savings levers, and KPI framework to track value during execution.

• Executive-Ready Pack

Architecture diagrams, decision log, risks & mitigations, and a 90-day plan for implementation by your team or partner.

Optional advisory during delivery (no implementation)

• Architecture reviews & stage gates (design, security, go-live)
• Vendor/RFP support and partner selection
• FinOps oversight and cost guardrail reviews

Our approach

1. Discover & Align - Stakeholder goals, constraints, compliance, data residency, and success metrics.
2. Baseline & Benchmark - Current architecture, cost, and security posture measured against Well-Architected pillars.
3. Design Target State - Reference patterns and standards for platform, apps, data, and operations.
4. Plan & Prove - Phased roadmap, investment case, and (optional) PoC plan for your team to validate assumptions.
5. Handover - Executive pack, execution backlog, and enablement sessions for the delivery team.
6. Oversight - Architecture governance during implementation.

Outcomes you can expect

• Clarity and confidence in decisions leadership and engineering both support
• A well-architected foundation by design, ready for implementation
• Cost transparency with ROI/TCO tracked to business KPIs
• Stronger governance and an operating model your team can own
• A 90-day execution plan that accelerates delivery - without rework
