Cloud Strategy Consultancy

Migrations that ship.
Bills that shrink.

Black Cloud Consultant is a hands-on team of cloud and DevOps engineers who move you off legacy infrastructure and cut the spend that isn't earning its keep — backed by engineers on retainer who can plug into your project when you need more hands.

What We Do

Two things we're built to do well.
A few more we cover too.

Also Available
/ 03

Cloud Strategy

Roadmap and provider guidance for teams still deciding where and how to move.

/ 04

Security Hardening

IAM audits, network config, and monitoring setup as part of a migration or cost engagement. For formal compliance audits (SOC 2, HIPAA), we coordinate with specialist partners rather than run it solo.

/ 05

Engineers On Demand

Need extra hands for a sprint or a season? We staff vetted cloud and support engineers from our retained bench, sourcing more as your project needs grow.

How We Work

A straight line from problem to solution.

Every engagement follows the same four stages — in this order, every time.

01Week 1

Discovery

We audit your current environment, talk to the people who run it, and pin down what's actually driving cost and risk.

02Week 2

Roadmap

You get a prioritized plan — what to fix first, what to fix never, and what it will cost in time and budget.

03Execution

Build & Migrate

We implement alongside your team or independently, with staged rollouts and a rollback plan at every milestone.

04Ongoing

Optimize

Post-launch, we keep watching cost and performance so the system you paid to build keeps earning its cost.

Why Black Cloud

Consulting, without the vendor conflict.

Hands-on delivery

Engagements are led by working cloud and DevOps engineers, not strategists who hand the technical work to someone else.

A bench, not a bottleneck

We keep cloud and support engineers on retainer and can source more, so project scope isn't capped by one team's calendar.

Vendor-neutral

We don't resell infrastructure or earn commissions from cloud providers, so every recommendation is about what's right for you.

How We Price

No published rate card. Here's the structure instead.

Every environment is different, so we don't quote a number before we've looked at yours. This is the shape the conversation takes.

Step 1

Audit

Fixed fee · 1–2 weeks

We review your infrastructure, cost, and architecture, and hand you a written report of what we'd fix and why — yours to keep, whether or not you move forward with us.

Flat rate, quoted after a short intro call
Step 2

Project

Fixed fee per engagement

Migration or cost-optimization work scoped from the audit findings. You get one price for the defined project, not an open-ended hourly clock.

Scope locked before work starts
Ongoing

Retainer

Monthly · by capacity

Continued support, monitoring, or extra engineers from our bench, billed monthly against the hours or headcount you commit to.

Scales up or down with your project

We price by scope and outcome, not by the hour — so the incentive is to fix things efficiently, not to run the clock. Reach out and we'll tell you honestly whether the audit step makes sense for where you're at.
