With its comprehensive knowledge of information systems, ALTEN China provides you with its vision and expertise in your cloudification approach, offering advice on multi-Cloud integration, the optimization of your On-Prem infrastructure, the development of your Cloud-Native applications, the development of a new operational model and the implementation of automation chains for private and public Clouds.

We are therefore in a position to work on: 

Defining your Cloud journey  

Advice, with a commitment to resources or results, on your IT system migration strategy.   

The foundation of your infrastructure   

Support in setting up Cloud governance, security and connectivity standards, and architecture patterns that will ensure your applications can be hosted on the target IT system.   

Conducting a Cloud maturity audit   

Review of existing systems and definition of a decision tree to model your target application architectures.   

Studying business cases  

Definition of an economic model combining the impact of implementing the target IS and managing the existing system.   

Measurement of the integration effort in relation to operational savings.   

Reducing the time, it takes to integrate and migrate applications to the Cloud is a major challenge for our customers. When these times are too long, they can lead to a complex functional or structural Double Run. 

To reduce the cost of this transition, ALTEN China trains its consultants in Cloud technologies and makes use of the appropriate tools and skills: 

Our certified Cloud / DevOps Architects and experts have all the SMACS (Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud, Security) skills. 

Automation has become the watchword for Cloud performance. All of our consultants therefore have knowledge of scripting and infrastructure development.  

We use DevOps languages and methodologies such as Infra as Code to manage and provision an infrastructure more efficiently.  

For large-scale migrations, our consultants can support you throughout the migration of your critical applications, whether simple or complex, while maintaining a balanced Cost / Performance ratio.  

The arrival of the Cloud, whether private or public, is transforming our customers’ information systems on a massive scale. They are now concentrating their efforts on the migration and development of Cloud-Native services, expecting Cloud Providers to also take responsibility for the operational reliability of this new model. However, for the system to be fully reliable, centralized and resilient, it must also guarantee that applications can go into production.  Site Reliability Engineering is an operational application of DevOps aimed at ensuring the reliability of applications. This approach, initiated by Google in its application release management, is based on the desire to combine rapid development with predictability in the behavior of digital services. Implementing such an approach in a company offers a number of advantages, including: 

• Maintaining and improving application performance and availability. 
• Speeding up the delivery of updates and features by automating the most time-consuming tasks linked to testing, deployment and observability.  
• Strengthening collaboration between development and production teams. 
• Reducing expenditure on infrastructure and resource management.  

Ultimately, the SRE approach makes a major contribution to improving customer satisfaction by offering more reliable and efficient services. It therefore provides an interesting response to the need to transform our customers’ operating model, although this means adapting the approach to a traditional IT environment. To support its customers, ALTEN China has therefore designed a specialized framework based on: 

• Feedback: Presentation of the SRE approach, its issues, its methodology and its automation tools through concrete examples of implementation in companies.  
• A maturity analysis: In-depth audit of your company’s SRE maturity level, whether in terms of its human, non-human, industrial or operational assets.  We are drawing up a clear matrix of the roles of each person within an organization redesigned to integrate the SRE, by studying the toolchain, the procedures in place for developing and deploying digital services, and the operating processes. 
• An SRE pilot phase: Implementation of the SRE on a pilot application in order to identify the potential technical and structural levers or obstacles impacting its implementation.  
• Scaling up: On the basis of this initial experimentation, definition of a detailed action plan to integrate the SRE throughout your company, through organizational changes, dedicated training or the introduction of tools.  

The FinOps approach is intended to monitor and optimize the costs associated with Cloud migration and, more generally, with the use of IT resources within a company. In short, it ensures that the services provided remain financially responsible. It’s not just a question of making savings, but also, in the wake of agile methods, of moving towards better collaboration between teams, better performance, better technological choices and, therefore, better investment.  We can help you control, manage and optimize your financial resources linked to the Cloud, notify you in the event of over-consumption or wastage of resources, and support your Finance Department in its CAPEX to OPEX transition. Our actions are focused mainly on: 

• Controlling Multi-Cloud and Multi-Service costs 
• Implementing and managing cost consolidation tools, automated processes and appropriate dashboards  
• Helping you to adopt the new uses of the Cloud 
• Monitoring and alerting in the event of over-consumption  
• Drawing up application budgets and Multi-Cloud scenarios 
• Cloud governance support 
• Decision-making support
