Tech Enablement

Technology leaders are finding that they must transition from IT as a "utility company" to being strategic leaders of the organizations they serve. Cloud Lighthouse senior partners provide our executive clients with strategic guidance, deciphering industry and technical trends, navigating Microsoft, and other topics on your mind so you’re not executing the strategy alone. Regular priority setting focuses effort and investment on the highest impact activities as you execute your roadmap, measure progress, and adjust as needed. 

Enable your workforce through the human side of technology, guiding your people as they embrace and use tools like Copilot, Power Platform, Fabric, and more advanced, custom AI workloads. Colleague enablement is ongoing and essential in achieving true transformation. Your Center for Enablement drives this long-term cultural and technical change through innovation challenges, hackathons, and comprehensive enablement programs matched to the organization and the tech it seeks to embrace. 

We’re your safe pair of hands acting as technical lead on your major effort(s), bringing our expertise in-house as an embedded member of your team or serving in a more limited advisory capacity through regular coaching and guidance provided to internal or partner engineering teams on specific development efforts… so that your team isn’t engineering in the dark. Access anyone from Cloud Lighthouse’s expert team when you need as we take on the unknowns and popups together. You’ll have a private calendar link. 

Together we establish and guide the technical and strategic governance team responsible for landing technology across the organization in a way that creates value. The EDA seeks to ensure strategic success, provide technical leadership, technical assure initiatives across complex organizations, and achieve technical concurrence amongst domain leaders. Think of the EDA as architectural air traffic control, landing technologies in your digital ecosystem so that they don’t collide on the runway. 

Technology initiatives can go wrong. And even when they don’t, leaders are often left wondering how to progress them cost effectively and at the highest possible quality. Cloud Lighthouse acts as an independent auditor as we investigate development efforts, present key findings, and make recommendations without the conflict of interest that often comes from consulting partners seeking to sell development and implementation services. 

Develop and refine the user experience (UX) and system design needed to make your technical scenarios, workloads, and apps successful across the organization. We’ve worked with some of the world’s leading organizations to create the intuitive, engaging experiences that are essential for achieving user adoption. We then turn our work over to your in-house development team or consulting partner so that you can get building.

Helping organizations understand, experiment with, and rapidly develop early-stage AI and other tech concepts. We launched the Cloud Lighthouse Labs to take on technical challenges that exist between the arrival of new technology and a typical organization’s decision to invest heavily. The Labs team moves quickly, minimizing traditional project overhead to prioritize rapid development on timelines measured in weeks. We then happily turn over what we’ve built to an organization’s in-house team or chosen implementation partner, so we avoid the conflict of interest that can arise from drawing out a project. 

Accelerate colleagues’ knowledge with courses including Crafting your Future-Ready Enterprise AI Strategy, Introduction to Ecosystem-Oriented Architecture, and Power Platform in a Modern Data Platform Architecture via Cloud Lighthouse Learn, our online training platform. Take things further with a growing library of training content deliverable virtually and in-person, and dynamic workshops such as Principles of Ecosystem-Oriented Architecture workshop.
