Flexible Engagement Models
We recognise that every organisation has different needs, constraints and timelines. Drax CloudOps offers four distinct engagement models — designed to deliver senior technology expertise in the format that works best for you.
Project Delivery
Fixed-scope engagements with clear outcomes, timelines and accountability. Ideal for cloud migrations, platform modernisation, new product builds or specific technology initiatives with defined deliverables.
Team Augmentation
Senior engineers and architects embedded directly within your existing teams. Accelerate delivery, close capability gaps and transfer knowledge — without the overhead of permanent headcount.
Managed Services
Ongoing operational ownership of your cloud platforms, including monitoring, incident management, reliability engineering and continuous improvement — so your team can focus on what matters most.
Fractional Technology Leadership
Access CTO and architecture-level expertise on a part-time or advisory basis. Ideal for scale-ups, transformation programmes, due diligence engagements and organisations that need strategic technology leadership without a full-time hire.
Built for Organisations That Cannot Afford to Get Technology Wrong
Drax CloudOps brings the rigour, depth and accountability of a tier-one technology consultancy — without the overheads, the layers, or the learning curve. Every engagement is led by a senior director with direct, hands-on expertise in your domain.
Senior-Led
You work directly with the experts — not account managers or junior consultants.
Outcome-Focused
We measure success by business outcomes, not billable hours or deliverable volumes.
Commercially Straightforward
Transparent pricing, no hidden fees and engagement models designed for your needs — not ours.
