How We Can Help You
With our accelerated ramp-up process, we deeply understand your systems, infrastructure, and code in less than a week. Here is how it works:
- Infrastructure Diagram
We start by creating a detailed infrastruture diagram of your cloud environment. We look at your networking, security groups, code, deployment processes, and data storage. When we are done, you walk away with a detailed diagram of your infrastructure.
- Roadmap
Our deep dive uncovers opportunities to enhance your security, reduce your cloud costs, and increase your deployment speed by improving your deployment pipeline with CI/CD. We will provide you with a detailed roadmap to implement the improvements.
- Implementation, Support, and Coaching
With a clear roadmap, we begin implementing the changes at a pace that you define based on your budget. We will also provide your dev team with ongoing support and coaching to ensure they are able to maintain the new infrastructure and processes into the future.
Testimonials
Empowering Hundreds of Businesses with Innovative Solutions
“Chris and Ben at Surton were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They completely understood what we wanted to achieve, and they delivered a truly fantastic deliverable, bang on time. I felt reassured all along the journey (there’s always a leap of faith) but we were in very safe hands. The final deliverable includes some of the most detailed deployment notes I’ve come across which highlight the level of professionalism which this company provides.”
Steve Kinder
CTO, Paperplanes UK
“Surton deployed AWS Textract, a machine learning (ML) solution for us in a matter of days. We saved $30,000 and gained the ability to replace a corporate scanner. Highly recommend!”
Richard Poling
CEO, StrucSure Home Warranty
“The guys at Surton were very knowledgeable and responsive throughout the process. I have heard nothing but good things from my team, and I hope that we will continue to work together in the future.”
Dan Rundle
CEO, Worthwhile
“Surton understands the DNA of the startups and having advisors who have walked in the entrepreneurs’ shoes, the service they provide is effective and efficient. Without Chris and Ben’s guidance it might have taken us weeks, what we have achieved in days. Looking forward to working with them for a long time as we scale our startup. Once again, thank you!”
Alan Hamid Founder
CEO, Texila, Inc.
“Surton was a miracle worker! I created my original project specification without understanding AWS services. They took the time to understand my problems and tailored the solution to my goals. They also took the time to explain why they chose certain Amazon tools. Now I can maintain and evolve our architecture going forward. Definitely recommend!”
