Questions to Ask Deloitte Cloud
Before engaging with Deloitte Cloud, here are key questions to help you evaluate fit:
-
→
Hands-On Depth: " Beyond strategy and governance, what's your hands-on implementation capability? What percentage of the team are cloud-certified engineers vs. strategists?"
-
→
Team Composition: " Who will be doing the actual work? Can we meet the delivery team, not just the partners and directors?"
-
→
Vendor Neutrality: " How do you ensure your recommendations are vendor-neutral and not driven by partnership incentives with AWS/Azure/GCP?"
-
→
Cost vs. Value: " Given your premium rates, how do you justify the ROI compared to specialized boutique firms for technical implementation?"
-
→
Knowledge Transfer: " What is your process for enabling our internal team to take over ownership? Do you have a structured training and transition plan?"
Red flags to watch for:
- ⚠ Strategy-only focus with no execution plan
- ⚠ Heavy reliance on junior resources for implementation
