Champion Solutions Group, a leading IT services delivery provider, today launched Champion Cloud Services, a new division that will offer consulting services to help companies leverage cloud computing to more efficiently deliver IT services to end users. Champion Cloud Services employs a unique holistic approach that factors in the goals and objectives of the business as well as IT considerations to determine and implement the right cloud-based solution for each individual client.

Champion Cloud Services expert consultants will enable clients to improve business productivity and reduce costs by taking advantage of cloud computing. Champion’s cloud technology specialists assess each client’s existing environment and application workload, determine if an application is a good fit for the cloud, and if an internal on-premise cloud, a public cloud or a hybrid mix is the best approach. They then architect the optimum solution and manage the migration of applications, data and users to the cloud.

“A cloud-based solution can enable companies to cost-effectively ensure high availability and reliability for end user applications, especially if they support mobile workers, telecommuters or field based teams,” commented Chris Pyle, president and CEO of Champion Solutions Group. “The challenge facing most companies today is how to go about implementing a cloud-based solution. If you have 2500 users and 15 years worth of data, how do you move the users and data seamlessly without disrupting the business? How do you determine latency tolerance, and do regression and stress testing in the cloud? We can help.”
