Cloud transformation that delivers value — not one that rebadges existing complexity.
Piedmont Consulting is an independent Irish consultancy working with leadership teams who have invested heavily in cloud platforms and aren't seeing the delivery velocity, operational stability, or business outcomes the investment promised.
The problem is rarely the platform
The technology decisions are usually sound. What goes wrong sits upstream — in the operating model, in how work is chosen and readied, in the accumulated organisational habits that migrate to the new platform intact.
The result is a modern estate running old constraints, at higher cost. New tooling, same queues. New architecture, same handoffs. The migration completes and nobody can point to what changed.
Where we work
Piedmont focuses on the architecture and operating model decisions that determine whether cloud transformation delivers real value.
Lean, DevOps and value stream principles are applied as a lens for surfacing the upstream decisions that quietly destroy throughput downstream — not as a methodology to impose. The work is usually less about what to build and more about what should have been decided before anyone started building.
Independent, and senior
No hyperscaler partnerships. No resale margin. No incentive to recommend anything but what the evidence supports.
Piedmont is a small, senior team, and every engagement is led by the person doing the work. There is no pyramid, and nothing gets handed to a junior after the pitch.
Two decades of cloud architecture and transformation programmes across financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, biotech, insurance, utilities and the public sector. GCP and Azure certified, with deep multi-cloud experience. Currently engaged with Deloitte delivering cloud architecture for Irish Revenue.
