Experience behind Nakatomi

Cloud & Datacentre Transformation

Turned an organisation's intention to become cloud-first into a financially modelled, architected, governed and executable transformation programme.

Vehicle Leasing Industry · Previous direct contract engagement. This work was delivered by Robert in that earlier role or engagement and is included to show the experience and leadership approach that sit behind Nakatomi Consulting today.

The situation

What needed to be understood or changed.

The organisation needed more than a cloud migration plan. It first needed a clear understanding of its technology estate, operating constraints, commercial position and team readiness before making a major infrastructure and datacentre change.

The work

From understanding the position to aligning people, decisions and delivery.

  • Technology, organisational and financial discovery
  • Workload assessment and target-state architecture
  • Cloud and datacentre strategy
  • Five-year investment planning and resource modelling
  • High-level design, roadmap and operating model
  • Disaster recovery and business-continuity planning
  • Supplier RFI/RFP, technical and commercial due diligence
  • Strategic partner selection and onboarding
  • Programme governance and migration across Azure and OCI
  • Development, test, UAT, staging and production environments
  • Security, operational readiness and service handover

Outcome

What changed and what was achieved.

The financial work identified approximately £2.7m of five-year savings and avoided an approximately £1.6m hardware refresh. The engagement continued for around 19 months, moving from discovery and strategy into execution and operational handover.
