Available Consulting and Advisory Services
Customers sometimes have questions or require support for additional open source technologies when they’re not covered by an OpenLogic support plan for that technology. In these scenarios, pre-purchased advisory hours can be applied to quickly address your needs, and we’ll also help guide you on what Support plans may make the most sense for your ecosystem.
If you’re looking to implement a new open source technology, migrate from commercial software to open source or upgrade to the newest version of open source software, our EAs have expertise and insight to help you based on your support tickets. And we'll get you jump-started by applying pre-purchased consulting/advisory hours to plan your project.
Even better, when you execute an SOW with us, we will apply the project planning hours used toward your project. You can use your balance of hours toward the project if you prefer — although we recommend you retain a balance of hours for any ad-hoc requests, strategic advice beyond your current support plan(s), or other consulting services required throughout the year.

We’ll help you chart how your various software and technologies will interoperate, both now and in the future by evaluating your environment, understanding your use-cases, and providing you with a series of actionable roadmap steps to keep your environment relevant.
We partner with you to develop a pathway for incrementally improving areas of the environment that require evolution; this prevents the need for painful wholesale replacement of your technology stack in late stages of the product lifecycle.
Estimated Time: 40 hours
We diagnose your environment as it exists today, looking inward to identify issues and security concerns, and then recommend solutions that bring your current-state environment back to full health or ensuring you’ve adopted best practices.
In many cases, it’s valuable to perform a holistic audit (Health Check plus an Architecture Review). We’ll evaluate your currently deployed architecture to understand configurations, implemented features, traffic details, environment constraints, and current monitoring tools in place. Then, we work with you to understand future-state goals and make recommendations for best practices, implementation changes, team enablement, monitoring, and operations.
Estimated Time: 32 hours 1st package, 8 hours each additional
