Cloud Advisory Group Logo

Cloud Advisory Group works with Australian organisations that run business-critical systems in cloud and hybrid environments. We are not a general IT reseller. Our work sits at the intersection of architecture, security, operations, and cloud economics — where poor decisions show up quickly in uptime, audit findings, or monthly spend.

Advisory work grounded in operational reality, not slide decks.

What We Take Ownership Of

Clients come to us when cloud has become difficult to steer: too many platforms, unclear accountability, rising cost without matching capability, or migration programs that stall after the first wave. We step in to establish a clear baseline, define a target operating model, and run the program with visible checkpoints.

We work with CIOs, infrastructure leads, security officers, and finance teams who need a single thread from decision to implementation. That means architecture choices are written down, risks are tracked with owners, and post-go-live behaviour is reviewed — not assumed.

Platform direction

Which workloads belong where, and why — mapped to continuity, compliance, and cost constraints.

Program delivery

Wave-based migration and modernization with cutover criteria your operations team can execute.

Run-state oversight

Support models, monitoring standards, and FinOps routines that survive after the project closes.

Our advisors are senior practitioners — not generalists rotated between unrelated accounts. Engagements are staffed against capability maps so architecture, security, and operations expertise stay on the same program from discovery through run-state review.

We document decisions in formats your audit and finance teams can consume: architecture decision records, control matrices, wave plans with rollback criteria, and monthly spend variance narratives tied to workload owners.

“They reframed our cloud program as an operating model change, not a lift-and-shift. The roadmap had owners, dates, and explicit trade-offs — which is what our board needed.”

“First advisory firm that walked our ops floor before proposing architecture. The baseline assessment surfaced dependencies our internal teams had missed for years.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of organisations do you work with?

We work with Australian mid-market and enterprise organisations running business-critical workloads in cloud or hybrid estates — typically where cloud spend exceeds $500K annually or where migration, security, or continuity risk has board visibility.

Do you resell cloud platform licenses?

No. We are advisory-led. We recommend platform and partner choices based on your constraints; procurement remains with you or your existing reseller relationships.

How are engagements typically structured?

Most programs begin with a fixed-scope assessment or discovery sprint (2–4 weeks), followed by phased delivery with defined exit criteria. Managed oversight can continue after go-live if required.

Where is your team based?

Our practice is headquartered in Liverpool, NSW. We deliver on-site workshops and remote program governance depending on client preference and security requirements.

Can you work alongside our existing MSP or internal team?

Yes. We frequently operate as program governance and architecture authority while internal teams or MSPs execute runbooks. Roles and escalation paths are agreed in the mobilisation phase.

If your cloud environment has grown faster than your governance, we can scope an assessment and outline a practical first phase.
