The first offering, Patni’s Cloud Acceleration Program (CAP), gives independent service providers and application developers a structured, business-driven approach based on Patni’s proven process and methodologies that take the guesswork out of transitioning to cloud-based solutions.

Patni’s cloud initiatives aim to provide the needed guidance to customers facing challenges migrating to public, private or hybrid cloud-based models.

“Companies are trying to determine both the technical and financial merits of pursuing a cloud-based approach for all aspects of their IT footprints,” said Satish Joshi, executive vice-president and global technology head, Patni Computer Systems.

“Patni’s cloud services initiatives will help customers make informed choices about their IT environments to ensure a smooth, rapid transition to the cloud while minimizing risk and keeping operating expenses in check,” added Joshi.

According to the press release, the comprehensive CAP program produces three major components: an applications architecture, an ROI analysis and an IT governance model which address two of the biggest concerns customers have about cloud implementations: ongoing control and security of their enterprise data. The program also features an ecosystem of providers that developers will be able to work with for transition.
