Federal Cloud Strategy, Talent & Innovation

We help leaders develop and implement strategies, operating models, and cultural practices that foster cloud agility, adoption and mission delivery.

Your cloud vision realized

Your agency’s cloud strategy is now its enterprise transformation strategy to which cloud brings great advantages but increased complexity. To succeed, you need access to real-world strategies, operating models and human capital frameworks that unlock the cloud’s full potential.

We start every engagement with a simple question: what is your mission and business objective? Our experts bring unmatched insight and best practices gained from sector-defining work with federal and commercial leaders. We help craft and deploy a successful and enduring cloud strategy designed to achieve your most critical outcomes.

Our capabilities are comprehensive, including performance benchmarking, business case modeling, zero trust architecture and ESG compliance. We recognize that people are the foundation for a sustainable cloud transformation and we bring diverse skills in workforce alignment/planning, Organizational Change Management (OCM) and employee experience to unlock your team’s full potential.

Business transformation via the cloud

Regulators play an essential role in supervising banks and other financial institutions. With financial technology revolutionizing traditional banking models rapidly, regulators are increasingly adopting cloud computing to keep pace. 

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) is a regulatory organization that promotes fairness and transparency in the municipal securities market. MSRB sought to gain the scalability and flexibility of cloud computing while avoiding looming infrastructure investments by migrating their data centers to Amazon Web Services (AWS). They leveraged cloud migration as an opportunity to enhance operational excellence, harness the power of their market data, and create a platform to digitize regulatory, compliance, and monitoring practices.

The migration had to be done quickly to avoid upcoming data center lease renewals, and MSRB needed to upskill and retool its workforce for sustainable success – all on the same timeline. The MSRB recognized that sustainable success in the cloud would hinge upon equipping its workforce with the right skills and tools using comprehensive change management and workforce transformation programs.
