Cloud Destinations was established in 2016, headquartered in San Ramon, CA. We started with just 2 engineers in 2016. We are now 250+ employees in 2022.
We are a global IT services organization, focused on IT consulting, staffing and professional services. Cloud Services, Application Modernization, Data Engineering, Digital Transformation & Security are our areas of expertise.
We want to increase our cloud service portfolio in the future, following industry trends. We're expanding our technology portfolio to encompass AI/ML, NLP, RPA, Blockchain, and Wearables. To stay updated with current industry trends and to meet our clients' rising expectations, we have actively engaged in training our team in all the above areas.
We have a strong leadership team, which brings several decades of experience in cloud technologies, software development, data engineering and IT security. We have a strong team of certified engineers on various IT and Core engineering technologies, who execute to the strategy formalized by our leadership team. Our PMO team ensures we are staying in sync with our customers’ expectations and deliverables and also makes sure we deliver our projects on schedule, within budget. We also have a strong IT staffing team, who specialize in placing our qualified staff globally. Our consultants are placed in North America, several countries in EU and Asia.
Our clients come from a variety of industries, including healthcare, finance, retail, technology, travel, life sciences and others. We're also partnering with significant American technology companies to invest in product engineering, global staffing, and professional services. Our experts have worked for Fortune 500 firms such as Google, SAP, Nvidia, BlackRock, Cisco and others. Other major companies with which we have consultants include Nestle, Louis Vuitton, Stanford University, Farmers Insurance and others.
If we don't keep an eye on the design and architecture from the start, cloud implementations may end up being more complicated than they need to be. AWS offers customers a well-designed architecture that includes operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, and cost reduction. Other cloud providers, such as Google and Microsoft, have similar policies. Our cloud engineers have received extensive training in well-architected frameworks and cloud-native adoption strategies. I can give you an example of a client cost optimization problem that we just resolved. The customer had created some costly virtual machines with vertical scaling, reserved instances with excessive capacity, and a lack of backup procedures, among other things. After doing a cloud health check, we were able to lower client spending by over 40%. Similarly, by implementing cloud best practices and utilizing platform services, we have helped our customers save hundreds and thousands of dollars.
In the past, moving to the cloud meant merely lifting and shifting. Physical servers were frequently changed to virtual cloud servers or simply migrated from one virtual server to another. The only perceived benefit was the outsourcing of infrastructure management (Infrastructure As A Service) to a third-party cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, Google, Rackspace, SunGard, and others. However, cloud platform capabilities have improved over the years, and if you aren't using platform services, you aren't getting the most out of your cloud adoption. We are cloud-agnostic at Cloud Destinations. All the main cloud providers are partners with us. Our specialist certified cloud staff join's hands with our customers on their cloud journey, assisting them with various aspects such as cloud native development, breaking down complex monolithic architecture to microservices, infrastructure as a code, containerization, serverless, cloud data lake, cloud data warehouse, cloud security, and so on. Our IT security team collaborates with our engineering and infrastructure teams to implement various SecOps projects, such as code vulnerability assessments, OWASP assessments, penetration testing, and so on.
