Cloud, done right. Without the surprise bill at the end.
Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft 365 — designed, migrated, secured, and FinOps-tuned by a Canadian team that’s been running production workloads since the early days of Azure.
Cloud you can actually predict — performance, posture, and cost.
The cloud was supposed to be flexible, fast, and cheap. We make it all three — with a security posture and a bill you actually understand.
From discovery to optimization — every step covered.
Cloud isn’t a one-time migration. It’s a four-stage discipline. We run all four — and we’re honest about which workloads belong in cloud and which don’t.
Assess
Workload-by-workload analysis of what should move, what shouldn’t, and what it’ll actually cost.
- App dependency mapping
- TCO & ROI modeling
- 6R disposition (rehost, refactor, retire…)
- Risk & compliance review
Migrate
Lift-and-shift, replatform, or refactor — with cutover plans that don’t put production at risk.
- Landing zone build
- Data & workload migration
- Hybrid & multi-cloud connectivity
- Cutover & rollback runbooks
Operate
24/7 cloud operations — patching, scaling, backup, monitoring, and incident response, fully managed.
- Patch & lifecycle management
- Backup & DR orchestration
- Auto-scaling & performance tuning
- SOC integration & alerting
Optimize
Continuous FinOps and security posture review. The cloud bill goes down. The posture gets stronger.
- Right-sizing & reserved instances
- Idle & orphan resource cleanup
- CSPM remediation
- Quarterly architecture review
Twelve services, end to end.
Every landing zone, every workload, every backup job, every IAM policy, every dollar of spend — designed and operated by us.
Cloud Foundation
Stage 1 – 2Cloud Strategy & Assessment
Workload disposition, TCO modeling, and a written cloud roadmap aligned to your business outcomes — not a vendor’s product map.
Cloud Migration
Azure, AWS, GCP. Rehost, replatform, refactor — with cutover plans, rollback paths, and zero-surprise weekends.
Landing Zones & IaC
Terraform- and Bicep-based landing zones with networking, identity, logging, and guardrails baked in from day one.
Hybrid & Multi-Cloud
ExpressRoute, Direct Connect, Interconnect — secure connectivity between on-prem, cloud, and SaaS without the spaghetti.
Cloud Operations
Stage 324/7 Cloud Monitoring
Performance, availability, and cost telemetry flowing into our NOC and SOC. Alerts triaged before they wake you up.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Tested. Documented. Recoverable. Cloud-native and immutable backup with quarterly DR drills you’ll actually pass.
Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace
Tenant design, migration, hardening, and ongoing administration. Includes Intune, Entra ID, and SharePoint governance.
Patching & Lifecycle
OS, container, and PaaS patching on documented cycles — with maintenance windows that don’t collide with month-end.
Security & FinOps
Stage 4Cloud Security Posture (CSPM)
Continuous detection of misconfigurations, public buckets, exposed keys, drift, and shadow IT. Remediated, not just reported.
Identity & Access (IAM)
Entra ID, AWS IAM, GCP IAM — least-privilege roles, conditional access, MFA enforcement, and joiner-mover-leaver workflow.
Workload Protection (CWPP)
Container, serverless, and VM runtime protection. Threats detected at the workload layer, escalated to our SOC.
FinOps & Cost Optimization
Right-sizing, reserved instances, savings plans, idle cleanup — reviewed monthly. Average client saves 30%+ in year one.
Where the savings actually come from.
Not theoretical. This is what one quarter of FinOps work typically returns for a mid-market workload running in Azure or AWS.
Stop paying for idle, oversized, and forgotten infrastructure.
Most cloud bills carry 25–40% waste — orphaned disks, oversized VMs, dev environments left running on weekends, and reserved-instance opportunities the engineering team didn’t have time to model.
- Monthly cost & usage review with engineering and finance
- Right-sizing recommendations executed, not just suggested
- Reserved instances and savings plans purchased on your behalf
- Idle resources, snapshots, and orphan IPs cleaned up automatically
- Tagging and showback reports so each team owns their spend
Cloud operations, wired into our platform.
Where other providers manage your cloud in isolation, AlecTech feeds cloud telemetry into Themis — our AI SOC reasoning layer — and ties incidents to BreachGuard for privacy workflow. Click any card to learn more.
Themis →
AI reasoning on every cloud alert — investigated and cited before a human sees it.
BreachGuard →
When a cloud incident involves personal data, the privacy workflow kicks in automatically.
MDR & SOC →
24/7 security operations center — the human layer that responds to what Themis flags.
GRC Advisory →
SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF — cloud controls mapped to your compliance framework.
Where the cloud has to be fast, sovereign, and audited.
Sectors where data residency, regulatory posture, and uptime aren’t negotiable — and the cloud has to prove it every quarter.
Financial Services
Canadian-region landing zones, OSFI-aligned controls, and FINTRAC-ready logging in Azure and AWS.
Legal Firms
Microsoft 365 and SharePoint hardened for matter confidentiality, with Law Society-aligned data handling.
Mining & Resources
Hybrid cloud for remote sites, IoT data ingestion at scale, and OT-IT separation in cloud workloads.
Is your cloud predictable — or is the bill a monthly surprise?
