Ongoing support,
without a
full-time hire.
Many clients choose a monthly advisory arrangement after their initial engagement, to maintain momentum, adapt to changing requirements, and prepare for the next stage of growth. This is that arrangement.
Discuss Ongoing SupportThe work doesn't stop when the engagement does.
A cost audit finds savings, but someone has to keep watching for new waste. A security review produces a remediation plan, but the environment keeps changing after it's implemented. An architecture gets modernized, but new services get added faster than governance can keep up.
Most organizations at this stage aren't ready for a full-time cloud architect, and don't need one. What they need is ongoing access to senior-level judgment, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, that scales with how much attention the environment actually requires.
Denvan's managed cloud services arrangement is built around that gap: an ongoing advisory relationship, not a headcount replacement.
Managed services fits after the initial work, or instead of a hire.
- Organizations that completed a Denvan engagement and want to maintain the momentum
- Companies not yet ready to hire a dedicated cloud architect or platform engineer
- Teams that need ongoing monitoring and alerting but lack the bandwidth to build and maintain it
- Organizations whose environment changes often enough that periodic reviews aren't sufficient
- Leadership teams who want predictable, budgeted access to senior cloud expertise
- Companies preparing for growth that will require cloud governance to scale with them
What an ongoing arrangement includes.
Ongoing Monitoring & Alerting
Dashboards and alerting maintained and tuned as your environment changes, not set up once and forgotten.
Cost Governance Maintenance
Continued attention to spend, so the savings from an initial cost audit don't erode over time.
Operational Support
AI-assisted monitoring and incident support that catches problems before they reach customers.
Quarterly Architecture Reviews
A structured check-in on what's changed, what's working, and what needs attention next.
Governance Upkeep
Security and compliance controls reviewed and updated as the environment and requirements evolve.
Direct Advisory Access
A senior consultant available for the questions that come up between formal engagements.
A monthly retainer, scoped to what your environment actually needs.
Managed cloud services is the ongoing phase of our six-phase methodology: after governance and handover, many clients choose a monthly advisory arrangement rather than ending the relationship entirely. Scope and cadence are set based on how much attention your environment realistically requires, not a fixed package.
This is not a replacement for your internal team. It's ongoing access to senior AWS judgment that most organizations at this stage don't need full-time, but do need reliably.
Common questions.
No. Managed cloud services is designed to complement an internal team, or to provide senior-level oversight for a team without a dedicated cloud specialist. We work alongside your people, not instead of them.
It's scoped per client based on environment size and how much ongoing attention it needs: typically some combination of monitoring maintenance, cost governance, quarterly reviews, and direct advisory access. We define the specifics before the arrangement begins.
Most clients arrive at managed services after an initial cost, security, or architecture engagement, since that work establishes the baseline. But if you already have a well-understood environment, we can scope an ongoing arrangement directly.
