Make your next infrastructure decision on evidence
Platform Freedom is our infrastructure assessment and advisory service, delivered in partnership with HPE. It helps IT and infrastructure leaders decide, workload by workload, whether to retain, optimise, re-platform, modernise, move or retire, then plan the change in phases around budget, risk and operational readiness.
The cloud conversation has moved on from putting everything in the cloud to choosing the right environment for each workload. VMware renewal pressure, changing licensing models, ageing infrastructure, rising costs and growing operational complexity are giving organisations good reasons to reassess their infrastructure strategies. But moving too quickly can add cost and disruption, and renewing without understanding your estate can leave better options unexplored.
We take a cloud-right, not cloud-first, approach. We start with your estate and the outcomes you need, keep what works and recommend change only where the evidence supports a better result.
Where your workloads could run
Every option is on the table, and many estates end up using several of them.

How Platform Freedom works
Understand your estate
We build a fact-based view of each workload’s utilisation, performance, dependencies, cost and risk. Where it suits your environment, a HPE CloudPhysics assessment collects data across your VMware estate over around seven days, and subject to qualification we can run it at no charge.
Prioritise your outcomes
We agree what matters most to your organisation, from cost control and resilience to security, compliance, data sovereignty and operational simplicity.
Evaluate realistic options
We compare keeping or optimising your current environment with the alternatives, taking account of workload suitability, support and commercial terms.
Decide workload by workload
You get a recommendation for each workload: retain, optimise, re-platform, modernise, move or retire.
Plan the change in phases
We sequence the work around dependencies, budget cycles and risk appetite, with service continuity built into the plan.
Deliver and optimise
Our specialists can carry out the migration and implementation, then keep optimising your environment as your business changes. Or you can take the roadmap and deliver it yourself.
What Platform Freedom gives you
Clarity before you commit
Protect users, devices, applications, and networks from evolving cyber threats.
Lower, clearer costs
Find idle and over-provisioned resources, and the workloads where right-sizing or retirement would free up budget.
Choice without a forced destination
Keep investments that still meet your needs and change only where the evidence points to a better outcome.
Change without unnecessary disruption
Dependencies and continuity needs shape the order of work, so modernisation happens at a pace your organisation can absorb.
Governance and resilience built in
Security, compliance, sovereignty and audit requirements are part of the plan from the start.
A business case everyone can work from
Technical, finance, procurement and governance stakeholders share one evidence base for investment decisions.
