Frequently Asked
Cloud — executive FAQs
What is a cloud strategy assessment and what does C3GEEK deliver?
A cloud strategy assessment is a 6–10 week executive engagement that evaluates your current cloud footprint, cost drivers and migration readiness across AWS, Azure and OCI. C3GEEK delivers a board-approved cloud strategy, target-state architecture, migration wave plan and FinOps operating model.
Which hyperscalers does C3GEEK cover — AWS, Azure or Oracle Cloud (OCI)?
C3GEEK is objective in its recommendations and has delivered enterprise transformations across AWS, Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The right choice depends on workload profile, licensing, data-gravity, regulatory context and total cost of ownership — not vendor preference.
How much cloud cost saving is realiztic from a C3GEEK engagement?
Clients typically realize 20–35% cloud run-rate reduction within 6–9 months by combining rightsizing, commitment optimization, architectural change and FinOps discipline. C3GEEK builds a defensible business case before any migration or optimization commitment.
When should our board commission a cloud advisory review?
Commission a C3GEEK cloud advisory review when cloud costs are growing faster than business value, when a hyperscaler decision is imminent, when a migration is stalled, or before a major CapEx or contract renewal with a hyperscaler or systems integrator.
