In the era of digital transformation, emerging technologies are integral in helping enterprises navigate through the shift from traditional resource-based models to outcome-based models. That being said, cloud solutions have made rapid inroads across all industry verticals. Admittedly, the transformation from on-premise solutions to the cloud—from strategizing to seeking a suitable provider—is a challenge for most businesses. This is where TrnDigital is carving out a niche for itself. The company streamlines the cloud migration process, for its customers by understanding the core objectives, outlining the overall strategy and formulating a robust framework. TrnDigital specializes in delivering top-notch Microsoft cloud consultancy services through its team of full-stack consultants, offering nimble and flexible solutions that have multiple models of engagement to provide business value at every step.

In an engaging conversation with CIO Applications, Shailendra Singh, Digital Partner and Co-Founder of TrnDigital discusses the company’s exclusive solutions, and the difference they bring to the table while helping their customers streamline, innovate, reduce cost and time.

What are the emerging challenges in the landscape?

Office 365 and Azure are robust platforms that let you build very interesting solutions on top of them. However, with any cloud service, it is a double-edged sword because while there is a tremendous amount of benefits from being able to leverage it for solutions, we also see that we do not have as much control as we would have on-premises. Moreover, given the rapid pace of change from constant upgrades on a regular basis by Microsoft—most companies struggle to optimize cloud solutions to stay ahead of the curve. This could be a certain way of accomplishing a task that is now being set for retirement or in another scenario having end-users, seeing functionality that their IT is not equipped enough to support.

Elucidate how TrnDigital successfully scales client operations and mitigates their problems?

We help our clients transition their existing applications and data into cloud seamlessly; by ensuring, that we are able to stay ahead of what is out there and help provide guidance for how these changes will affect their usage. We start with understanding the critical business objectives and requirements of the customer and establish KPIs based on industry standards and best practices to drive the solution. At TrnDigital, we ensure that at every point of building the solution, it is progressing as per the parameters defined by our customers. Once objectives are established, we begin the evaluation of a cross-section of the customers to identify the requirements for various departments and the key stakeholders involved based on the functionality they are trying to develop. This enables us to create a detailed plan that resolves current problems and matches the given time frame and budget. With most of our managed services clients, we conduct a monthly executive briefing to capture the list of Microsoft’s recent announcements in the past 30 days.

We not only walk through those changes together but also specifically highlight the ones that are applicable to our client’s current environment. By doing so, this helps us get ahead of the changes that Microsoft is pushing out.

Furthermore, in cases, where a client might want to have a glimpse of a new functionality hands-on before it is released and affects their production environments, we can provide a demo through configured beta environment. Our main focus is to help our customers to leverage their investment at the same time proportionately increase their employee productivity in the best possible way. Eventually, we do a rollout with the proper information architecture, conduct usability testing, establish a training strategy, and utilize analytics to monitor patterns and detect problems early. At the end of the operation, we collect multiple feedbacks to ensure that client has made the transition seamlessly and provide them with opportunities to make necessary changes as defined by their constantly evolving business needs.
