How long does it typically take to implement a modern application platform?

Platform implementation timelines depend on your requirements and starting point. A typical enterprise deployment takes 12-16 weeks, including initial assessment, platform deployment, and team enablement. We follow a structured approach that maintains operational stability throughout the transformation.

What level of operational experience does our team need?

Your team needs basic Linux and infrastructure experience. We provide comprehensive enablement to build necessary platform engineering capabilities. Our approach focuses on hands-on learning and knowledge transfer throughout the implementation.

How do you ensure security and compliance requirements are met?

We integrate security controls and compliance frameworks from the start. Our platform implementations include automated security policies, access controls, and compliance validation. We work with your security teams to ensure all requirements are properly implemented.

Can we run both traditional and cloud native applications?

Yes. Our platform solutions support both containerized and traditional applications. We help you establish patterns for running existing applications while enabling cloud native capabilities for new development.

How do you handle the transition from our current environment?

We use a phased approach that maintains stability while modernizing. The process starts with a detailed assessment of your current state, followed by systematic implementation and gradual workload migration based on proven patterns.
