Cloud Consulting and Development Services

From Zero to Cloud in 30 Days. This service will put you on the fast-track to realize immediate benefits from cloud computing. We work with you to identify a custom application tailored for your business, submit a SOW laying out the details, and then build it in record time. Of course not all applications can be built in 30 days, but there are some in your business that can be. Leverage our expertise and know how, and enjoy dramatic cost savings compared to traditional application development. Results are guaranteed, meaning if you aren't satisfied with our approach for any reason, you can keep your application backlog.

Cloud Readiness and Roadmap Assessment. Typically takes from 3 to 5 days and costs less that $20K USD, and ranks among the best investments you could ever make in IT. The deliverable is a comprehensive report with findings, recommendations, and roadmap. Working closely with the appropriate personnel within your organization, we will evaluate your potential ROI from your (choose one:) private/hybrid/public cloud. We evaluate your design and architectural readiness with regards to cloud infrastructure, applications, and information sources. We explain best-practices for managing cloud services. We also evaluate your existing cloud security capabilities. Lastly, we work with you to identify the top candidates for cloud apps, then put it all together in a roadmap with markers and timeframe estimates. Not bad for a week's worth of consulting.

Business Services

In the area of business services our flagship offering is our Chief Productivity Officer (CPO) service, where you hire our team to work as necessary to improve your bottom line by improving the retention rates of personnel (reducing turnover) and making each employee more productive and more passionate about their work.

Our CPO service is packaged to be affordable, meaning you can hire our team for less than what it would cost you to hire someone full time. We will use our tracking tools to measure communication across the organization, both upward and downward. We will bring with us proven techniques that ensure all employees are properly motivated, recognized, and compensated (not just in dollars) so they ultimately become more productive and more loyal to your organizaiton and its mission. Please call and schedule a time with us to review the CPO program in greater detail.

ACTS Corporation Consulting Philosophy

We believe that each client is unique and that no two organizations share the same set of requirements or require the same solutions. We start each engagement with a blank page. We bring no preconceived ideas about the customer, and no predetermined solutions. We also do not turn a customer assignment into a training ground for junior consultants. Our customers get senior expertise at a fair price.

Our consultants actively look for ways to share their expertise and impart knowledge to the customer, because our goal is to make our clients less dependent on consultants with every engagement we perform. The results of each engagement include a solution designed to fit the business need and to strengthen the IT infrastructure which services the business.


ACTS Corporation's Consulting Methodology

Each engagement starts with understanding the client's objectives, key issues and an assessment of the IT environment. We then:

  • Gather current business requirements for each of the major business segments and trade styles.
  • Develop alternative solutions based on proven technology.
  • Evaluate top alternatives against client's prioritized objectives and key issues.
  • Recommend not only the best solution fit for today's business needs, but the solution that also includes flexibility for the future.
  • Produce and present final deliverables.


Our highly skilled group of professionals has worked in a wide range of industries and company settings from small businesses to multinational corporations and conglomerates. Each of our more than 1500 clients will attest to the pride and professionalism of ACTS' staff.
