Cloud Optimization and Security Advisory

Mid-size businesses often face the challenge of rapid cloud adoption, leading to a sprawling, unmanaged landscape

 

This unmanaged approach can lead to a lack of visibility resulting in:

Shadow IT

Unsanctioned cloud applications create security and integration nightmares

Wasteful Spending

Redundant apps, unused licenses, and poor negotiation due to a lack of usage data drive up costs

Security Risks

Shadow IT becomes rampant, with unapproved apps lacking security controls, creating vulnerabilities

Compliance Gaps

Meeting regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.) is impossible without knowing where sensitive data lives

Scalability & Performance

Predicting and managing the scalability and performance of cloud solutions is difficult without visibility into actual usage patterns

Innovation & Agility

Driving innovation requires a clear understanding of the existing technology landscape, which is hindered by a lack of visibility

At NeuEon, we understand these challenges and recognize that every organization is unique

 

We work with clients to identify their position on the cloud adoption journey and offer a comprehensive catalog of services tailored to their needs.  Our Cloud Optimization Services are fully customizable to fit the needs of the client.
