Engagement Model
Founded and led by former Microsoft Engineering, IT, and Consulting leaders.
Cohort delivers modernization engagements with:
- AI-enabled delivery
- Fixed-fee pricing
- Microsoft-certified patterns
Our model targets the 40–50% of custom workloads that deliver the fastest ROI — typically completing in 2–8 months.
How We Create Value
1. Discovery
Align business priorities with modernization goals. Identify and profile your environment.
2. Assessment
Use AI-powered tooling to evaluate readiness, ROI potential, and sequencing. Classify workloads as simple, moderate, or complex.
3. Design
Deploy Azure Landing Zones, create target architecture patterns, and finalize security and compliance plans.
4. Modernization
Execute refactoring with AI-assisted coding, and reusable Microsoft-certified assets.
5. Operations & Handover
Implement monitoring, provide incident support, and deliver SOPs, runbooks, and knowledge transfer.
Selective by Design
We only take on modernization workloads with a clear ROI to minimize payback periods. Our assessment model classifies workloads as:
- Simple – Cloud-native ready, high ROI, low risk — executed immediately.
- Moderate – Moderate complexity, follows simple workloads in sequencing.
- Complex – Requires deeper assessment and refactoring, still within scope.
- Out of Scope – Deep dependencies, vendor lock-in, or unclear ROI.
Why It Works
- Fixed-Fee Predictability – Transparent pricing, no change orders
- High-Throughput PODs – Offshore execution at scale with U.S.-led quality oversight
- Microsoft Alignment – Built on the same patterns and frameworks used in Azure Innovate and Well-Architected
