Hybrid, Agile, and Scalable Solution for Modern Cloud Project Management

San Francisco, CA, March 21, 2024 – ClearScale, a leading cloud services provider, today announced the launch of ClearScale Squads. This flexible approach to cloud professional services procurement addresses the unique challenges faced by organizations looking to leverage the cloud to maximize top line revenue or optimize bottom line revenue. This new service delivery model combines the agility of the Agile framework with the scalability of fractional ownership, offering a flexible and efficient solution for cloud projects of any scale.

Jeff Carson, ClearScale's Vice President of Strategy and Solutions, explained, "ClearScale Squads focuses on responding to customer feedback, offering the tailored support companies need without the constraints of standard service models. We emphasize flexibility and client-led goals, allowing customers to navigate their cloud journeys more efficiently, with a balance of speed and cost. With the expertise of our cloud engineers and architects, businesses can confidently pursue their cloud initiatives, with a partner that is committed to their long-term success."

Managing cloud projects has traditionally included many challenges, from lack of cost predictability, to sourcing and retaining skilled cloud engineering talent, to continuity of context between projects when working with a system integrator. ClearScale Squads is a response to these challenges, offering a hybrid services delivery model to streamline AWS cloud professional services procurement while providing high quality execution with predictable costs.

ClearScale Squads is designed to offer scalable solutions for application development, cloud modernization, data architecture, data engineering, and more. The service is structured around a consumption-based model with tiered velocity, providing clients with eight different levels of engineering consumption tailored to their specific needs. This model is aimed at de-risking enterprises by facilitating rapid iteration and minimizing upfront commitments, with an initial commitment of only four months.

One of the key advantages of ClearScale Squads is its ability to bring together named cloud engineering talent who get to know the customer’s IT team. This approach not only ensures high-quality outcomes but also addresses the common pitfalls associated with IT staff augmentation, such as misaligned direction, wasted resources, and accountability issues.

Since its inception in 2011, ClearScale has established itself as a trusted partner in the AWS cloud services industry, earning over 100 AWS technical certifications and 12 AWS competencies. The introduction of ClearScale Squads further solidifies the company's commitment to delivering value and efficiency in cloud project management.
