Establishing a Cloud Centre of Excellence (CCoE)

Contino will work alongside you to help establish a Cloud CoE, guiding your organisation in defining its Cloud Operating Model and advising your leadership team on how to build a cross-organisational capability to support the adoption of Cloud to unlock your business goals. We offer strategic advisory consulting and technical leadership, solidifying your Cloud foundations in areas such as: Administration & Operations, Control & Compliance, Security, Cloud Delivery Framework and Cloud Platform Engineering.

Contino has a proven track record of delivering for the world largest enterprises in heavily regulated industries (incl. Financial Services, Public Sector, Telco, Healthcare and Energy & Utilities) focussed on building cloud capabilities and accelerating their cloud adoption journey, with a CCoE being a core component of that.

There is much debate around what a Cloud Centre of Excellence should or should not do in supporting one’s digital transformation efforts. Because there is no such thing as a “one size fits all” solution, our model is designed to be adaptive rather than prescriptive and has a track record of proven success in even the largest, most complex and most highly regulated enterprises.
