Agile Migration Lifecycle

SMX relies on a foundation of reusable migration patterns and practices associated with Agile to deliver a robust framework of capabilities associated with cloud migrations. We bring a deep understanding of the impacts a sound business strategy has on the migration lifecycle – working closely with customers to define those impactful strategy elements, as well as work through migration planning – from sprint definition, to dependency mapping and wave planning.

We design any target landing zone with the principles of a well-architected environment in mind – factoring in security, availability, scalability, agility, and repeatability into our core designs. Our squads are position to ramp up and down over the lifecycle of the migration – shifting focus and priority over time to lean into the benefits of refactoring applications, ensuring it starts during initial planning and continues throughout.

Application Modernization and Cloud-Native Transformation

Application Modernization focuses on breathing new life and dimensions into legacy business applications, as well as innovating on new capabilities, to reduce operational and capital costs by re-imagining those capabilities in the cloud. SMX draws on deep knowledge and understanding of our customers and our markets to engage across a number of key areas.

Application Assessment and Rationalization
Microservices architectures
Data transformation and modernization
Kubernetes, Containerization and Orchestration
DevOps
Security
Re-Platforming & Re-Factoring
Infrastructure and platform as a service automation
App elevation services
Run book automation
Cloud spend optimization

SMX transforms legacy workloads using mature design patterns, automation, and outcome-driven approaches to re-imagine applications and bring data to life.

Cloud Readiness Advisory Services

Cloud Readiness Assessments are short duration workshops that help clients better understand where they are on the cloud maturity curve, a critical step to defining a cloud strategy and developing a cloud adoption roadmap.

SMX applies a methodical engagement model that starts with communication and close partnership with the application team. The assessment evaluates the client’s environment against the five Cloud Adoption Framework pillars (Security, Governance, Platform, People and Operations) to gauge the applications and personnel for cloud suitability and readiness. We understand that people and process are the key to the success of any cloud adoption journey and are here to provide the experience and prescriptive guidance organizations need, no matter where they are on their path.

Colo to Cloud

The complexity of cloud migrations can make it difficult to predict costs and move to the cloud quickly. SMX streamlines cloud migrations with an automated move to VMware® Cloud on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Combined with the new AWS funding program that potentially covers the migration costs, the SMX Colo-to-Cloud program can help businesses disengage from the bonds of their colo provider.

Hybrid Workforce and Omni-Channel Contact Center Solutions

The SMX Accreditation Accelerator Service provides the certification path your software needs to work with government organizations. Leveraging our proven methodology and automated platform services, our Cloud Assured team designs and implements compliant security requirements to reduce risk and achieve the certifications you need to speed access to the broader government marketplace.

Multi-Cloud and Hybrid/Edge Computing

We understand the need and the complexities of embedding your critical workloads at the edge. With distributed edge computing, services and capabilities may be located on smaller, local data centers across the globe, bringing computation and data storage closer to the sources of data to reduce latency and bandwidth. Our leading industry partners offer this benefit to providers, allowing them to push out to the edge through the regionalization of their servers.

Leveraging distributed edge means looking at the big picture to remove friction and improve performance. As a next-gen MSP, we support the “data everywhere” model, going beyond the health of individual resources to analyze your entire environment. SMX can extend services on-premises, via edge computing, and in a multi-region environment, building hybrid cross-solution platforms to support you wherever your environment demands.
