From bare metal to
revenue in 6 months.
A structured, month-by-month implementation program that takes you from hardware and a business idea to a fully operational cloud platform with paying customers.
The implementation roadmap
Six phases, six months. Each phase builds on the previous — no gaps, no surprises, no half-built systems at handoff.
Understand your business
Deep dive into your infrastructure, market position, team capabilities, and business goals. We audit everything — hardware, network, existing tools, compliance requirements — and produce a comprehensive assessment with clear recommendations.
Outcome
You know exactly what to build, how to build it, and what it will cost.
Deliverables
Define what you sell
We design your product catalog — VPS tiers, Kubernetes plans, managed services, add-ons. Each product gets specifications, pricing, provisioning rules, and customer-facing descriptions. This is where infrastructure becomes a sellable product.
Outcome
Your entire product lineup is defined, priced, and ready for implementation.
Deliverables
Build the automation
We deploy OpenStack, VMware, Proxmox, Hetzner & OpenShift, configure the Cloud Platform platform, wire up provisioning automation, and integrate billing. Zero-drift infrastructure as code. Every component tested, documented, and production-ready.
Outcome
Infrastructure is live, provisioning works end-to-end, billing is automated.
Deliverables
Deploy the portal
We launch the customer-facing portal — self-service ordering, service management, billing dashboard, and support ticket system. Your brand, your domain. Customers can browse, order, pay, and manage their services without touching your team.
Outcome
Customers can order and manage services independently. Zero manual work.
Deliverables
Activate revenue
Stripe integration goes live. Automated invoicing, payment collection, dunning workflows, and revenue dashboards. We configure pricing experiments, set up MRR tracking, and enable the financial reporting your leadership needs.
Outcome
Money flows automatically. Every resource metered, every dollar collected.
Deliverables
Go live, then optimize
Public launch with full sales support. We stay for the first customers, tune performance, optimize pricing based on real data, and hand off operations to your team with complete documentation and training.
Outcome
You're live, selling, and your team can operate independently.
Deliverables
Built for outcomes
Not a generic consulting framework — a battle-tested program designed specifically for cloud service providers.
Sequential, not parallel
Each month builds on the previous. No half-built systems, no integration surprises at the end.
Revenue in month 5
You don't wait 6 months to earn. Billing goes live in month 5 — often with beta customers onboarded in month 4.
Your team is trained
We don't create dependency. Month 6 includes complete knowledge transfer, runbooks, and hands-on training.
Not a waterfall
We iterate within each phase. Weekly demos, continuous feedback, rapid adjustments. Agile delivery, structured milestones.

6 months from today, you could have a live platform with paying customers. The first step is a conversation.
Common Questions
Yes. For providers with existing infrastructure and clear product requirements, we offer an accelerated 3-4 month track that compresses Discovery and Service Design into a single month. The tradeoff is less time for market research and pricing optimization.
The timeline is flexible. If Discovery reveals unexpected complexity, we extend it rather than rush. If your hardware delivery is delayed, we shift Platform Engineering accordingly. We adapt to reality, not the other way around.
Hardware (compute nodes, networking, storage), a technical point of contact, and business decision-makers available for weekly reviews. We handle everything else — architecture, deployment, configuration, integration, and training.
You can operate independently with the training and runbooks we provide, or engage our Operational Excellence service for ongoing 24/7 managed operations. Most clients start independent and add managed ops as they scale beyond 200+ customers.
A typical engagement involves 3-5 Cloud Platform engineers: a solutions architect (full-time lead), 2-3 platform engineers, and a go-to-market consultant for months 1-2 and 5-6. You get a dedicated team, not a shared resource pool.
