Software Development Review from John Armstrong
ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.

The project involved the creation of a clone website where we could apply the new brand and update all content to reflect the name change before pointing the new and old domains at this new site. At the projects commencement, all details were scoped out and clarified to ensure that everything went according to plan. Through the entire project, Bhavin and the Techforce Team were professional,

I give this company 100% for customer service, they truly define what it means to go the extra mile. We’ve worked together on one project so far, which I already felt was perfectly fine, but they went above and beyond by revamping the entire site to a much higher standard and creating a more visually impactful result.
What I really appreciated was their honesty and professionalism: they offered valuable advice and implemented their own recommendations without charging extra. They are always available when needed and respond to queries promptly and efficiently. I highly recommend Mr Arup and his team any day!

6 Frequently Asked Questions About Cloud Consultants
What services do cloud consulting firms provide?
Cloud consulting companies typically provide these specialized services:Â
System audit and strategy: Assessing the current IT infrastructure, applications, and processes to identify gaps, uncover opportunities, and develop a cloud strategy aligned with business goals.Â
Cloud migration and implementation: Moving data, applications, and infrastructure from on-premises environments or legacy systems to the cloud platform and performing cloud integration while minimizing downtime and preserving data integrity.Â
Cloud operations and optimization: Reviewing an existing cloud environment to identify performance issues, security gaps, and cost inefficiencies, and recommending improvements to increase reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.Â
Regulatory compliance and security: Helping organizations operate under the cloud shared responsibility model by implementing identity and access management (IAM), encryption, governance controls, and other cybersecurity measures to protect systems and data.Â
Cloud training: Providing workshops, documentation, and hands-on training so internal teams can effectively use, manage, and maintain their cloud environment.Â
Some firms also offer adjacent cloud consulting services, such as data analytics, digital transformation, DevOps, AI/ML development, custom software development, managed services, and ongoing support.Â
What is the difference between cloud consulting companies and managed services?
Top cloud consulting firms primarily help organizations plan, design, migrate, and optimize their cloud environments. Managed services, by contrast, focus on the ongoing operation, monitoring, and support of IT systems. Here is a side-by-side comparison:
Â
Cloud Consulting Firms
Managed Services Providers
Primary focus
Strategy, architecture, migration, compliance, and optimization
Day-to-day operations, monitoring, maintenance, and support
Services
Cloud assessments, roadmap development, migration planning, implementation, governance, compliance, optimization, and training
Infrastructure monitoring, incident response, patching, cybersecurity support, help desk services, backups, and disaster recovery
Engagement model
Typically, project-based or advisory, with some offering ongoing supportÂ
Usually long-term and recurring under a managed service agreement
Best for
Organizations planning a migration, modernization effort, or cloud optimization initiative
Organizations that need continuous operational support for existing systems
When should you choose a cloud platform or an on-premises setup?
The right choice depends on your security and compliance requirements, workload patterns, internal IT capabilities, and budget.Â
Consider choosing a cloud platform if:Â
Your team works across multiple locations and needs reliable remote access.Â
Your workloads or data volumes fluctuate, and you need to scale up or down quickly.Â
You are a startup or small business seeking faster deployment, lower upfront costs, and greater flexibility.Â
Consider an on-premise setup if:Â
You work with highly sensitive data or proprietary systems that require strict control over infrastructure.Â
You operate in a highly regulated industry where certain data or workloads must remain on-premises.Â
You have stable, predictable workloads that can justify the higher upfront investment over time.Â
In some cases, a hybrid approach may be the best option, especially for organizations that want to keep sensitive systems on-premises while using the cloud for scalability, collaboration, or backup and disaster recovery.Â
When should you hire a cloud consultant vs. keep it in-house?
Consider hiring a cloud consultant when you need specialized expertise, an outside perspective, or extra support for a complex project. Consultants help fill skill gaps on your internal team, develop a migration strategy, and recommend the right cloud platform, deployment model, and tech stack according to your needs.Â
A cloud consulting company can also help identify gaps and opportunities in your current cloud platforms to further align them with your business goals, operational needs, and compliance requirements.Â
On the other hand, keep cloud computing in-house if you already have an experienced internal team that can plan, migrate, set up, maintain, and manage your environment effectively.Â
An in-house approach may also be preferable if you work with highly sensitive data or proprietary systems and want tighter day-to-day control over operations.Â
How much do cloud consulting services cost?
The cost of cloud consulting services starts at $60-$180 per hour, while senior consultants or highly specialized experts may charge $100-$250+ per hour. The total cost of service will depend on project scale and complexity, security and compliance requirements, and technologies involved.Â
Approximate cloud consulting service rates are as follows:Â
Small engagements ($10,000-$50,000+): These often include cloud assessments, a cloud adoption roadmap, proof of concept (PoC), and ready-to-use service deployment.Â
Mid-sized engagements ($50,000-$150,000+): Customized cloud infrastructure design, governance setup, and integration with existing systems.Â
Large-scale projects (starts at $150,000): Multi-environment migrations, advanced security and compliance frameworks, large-scale modernization, or complex platform initiatives.Â
Enterprise-level projects (starts at $500,000): Highly customized architecture, enterprise-wide cloud transformation, multiple integrations, strict compliance requirements, and support for large internal teams or business units.Â
