Cloud-Native Software and Transformation

State-of-the-art software architecture unlocks the performance, security, and AI-compatibility businesses demand from their software solutions. Many organisations are still grappling with what cloud transformation means for them. At CID, we work with you to unlock the true benefits of cloud-native, bespoke software.

The power of Cloud-Native Software

Cloud-native software offers organisations the flexibility and scalability they need today. But before designing and coding software, you need to holistically consider software, data, AI and the operating environment—all of which significantly impact each other. 

We support you to explore these and other considerations, such as: cloud-readiness of legacy software (lift-and-shift vs. re-factoring vs. re-building); performance requirements and proximity to other software services; and data protection and cyber security needs.

In our experience, organisations that embrace cloud-native software:

Gain flexibility, scalability and reliability from cloud-readiness


Improve user and customer experience


Keep pace with technological advancements


Reduce runtime and maintenance costs and technical debt


Strengthen cyber security


Enhance development lifecycle (time to market)
