Implementation and Migration

Understanding the benefits of a cloud-based business is simple; flawless design and seamless system integration of cloud services are complex. Our dedicated team of cloud-based application development experts is skilled in all aspects of migration and implementation, from multi-vendor ITIL process implementation to risk and compliance controls, and beyond. We also offer on-demand and self-service IT — like cloud computing itself, we empower you to rapidly adapt and respond to your marketplace for a reliable, robust user experience.

Cloud Security & Risk Management

While cloud-based solutions provide a high level of security features and technology, it’s not a given that your data, infrastructure, and apps are impenetrable. We offer custom security enterprise integration solutions, cloud security audits, risk and identity management, and technical security architecture consulting to keep your business secure and your mind at ease.

Cloud app development implies building apps that run in the cloud and may leverage cloud features and services offered by cloud vendors.

How We Build Our Cloud Apps

Secure cloud apps

Integrated security at every stage of the cloud app development life cycle.
Secure code repositories and build-management programs.
Security incorporated into deployment tools and the release pipeline.
Strong data encryption and SSL, reduction of serverless permissions, enforced authentication, the use of a cloud provider’s controls, comprehensive logging and monitoring of events and requests sent from external APIs.

——————————————————————————-

Modifiable and compatible cloud apps

We leverage layered architecture, clear separation of concerns (SoC), standardized and well-documented APIs, etc., to make cloud apps easily adopt updates (e.g., conceptual changes, new features) and integrate with other applications.

——————————————————————————-

Scalable and portable apps

We split an application into services/microservices and get them containerized to help you minimize downtimes caused by application overload or migration.

——————————————————————————-

Resilient cloud apps

We use hierarchies of services, message queues, dynamic scaling and automated recovery, etc., to eliminate the possibility of app failure escalation.

——————————————————————————-

Cost-efficient cloud apps

We select the right cloud services for minimized efforts, timelines and costs to develop and operate an application.

——————————————————————————-

How Much Will Your Cloud App Project Cost?

NCMME is ready to provide accurate calculations for your cloud app development initiative so that you could plan your budget with confidence. For correct estimation, we take into account:

The number and complexity of app features.
The development method for app features (built with ready cloud services or coded from scratch).
The number of user roles.
The complexity of the application logic and workflows.
The number and complexity of integrations with other software systems.
UI design uniqueness and complexity (including the number and complexity of screens).
Government and industry regulations to comply with.
The cloud to host the app and cloud services employed, and more.

How NCMME Helps Optimize Cloud App Costs

NCMME’s consultants provide an efficient cloud resource utilization plan due to:

1 Comparing cost and capabilities of different clouds for each specific cloud app project.

2 Keeping up with unique cloud cost optimization opportunities from the most popular cloud vendors (Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud).

3 Designing an auto-scaling cloud app architecture and dynamic resource orchestration to achieve up to a 37% decrease in cloud hosting costs (optionally).

4 Introducing proven application performance management practices to achieve a 19% increase in cloud app performance.

5 Providing the cloud resource consumption optimization plan and helping with its implementation and continuous management on-demand.

Cloud App Initiative Q&A by NCMME

How can we avoid cloud vendor lock-in?

Ensure that your cloud application is designed without complex infrastructure dependencies to easily switch vendors of some cloud services if needed.

Another option is to create a cloud-agnostic cloud app, but it can tangibly increase the cost and duration of the development project.

How not to end up paying more for cloud than for local hosting?

Consider cloud-native architectures for your application. Companies usually experience 30-60% cost savings from what would normally be required for local hosting when the application is correctly adapted to the optimal cloud resource consumption at the architectural level. Note: Re-architecting of legacy applications to make them cloud-native is not always technically and economically feasible.

Delaying Cloud App Development due to High Risks and Costs?

NCMME offers well-established agile development processes, latest software design patterns, and a high degree of automation to help with safe, swift and financially sound cloud application development.
