Questions to Ask Mission Cloud
Before engaging with Mission Cloud, here are key questions to help you evaluate fit:
-
→
Managed Services Platform: " Can you provide a demo of your Mission Control platform? What metrics and automation capabilities does it provide beyond native AWS tools?"
-
→
FinOps Track Record: " Can you share specific cost optimization results from companies of similar size? How do you measure and report on savings?"
-
→
AWS vs. Multi-Cloud: " Since you are AWS-exclusive, how do you advise clients who might have future multi-cloud needs? Do you have partners for Azure/GCP?"
-
→
Team Continuity: " How do you handle team continuity between the migration phase and ongoing managed services? Will we keep the same engineers?"
-
→
Exit Strategy: " If we decide to bring operations in-house later, what is the offboarding process from Mission Control? Do we retain all our data and configurations?"
