Shaping Cloud is one of the UK’s leading cloud experts. We are a team of hugely talented individuals, brought together in an environment that facilities innovation and creativity. We are passionate about helping organizations to adopt the best of modern t
Cloud is what we know and it is who we are. Formed in 2010 we have seen the ever growing benefits of cloud adoption across many sectors. Our mission is to help clients differentiate between cloud that is just an illusion and that which brings true transformational value.
We believe that public and hybrid cloud provide a unique opportunity for organisations to re-imagine the way services are delivered and drive better outcomes for staff and customers alike.
Our products and services have been designed to swiftly inform confidently plan and deliver tangible and lasting difference whilst ensuring that you are in control throughout.
What we do:
’Its great working with an SME that can take the time to understand the NHS can take the time to understand the locality and so for us it was really about that service that we got. They took time to understand us and actually tune their output to what we needed as well so with bigger companies you find a one size fits all model it really wasnt that – it was about the service that we needed’ - Rachel Dunscombe Director of Digital Salford Royal NHS Trust amp; CEO NHS Digital Academy
Our company was formed from a genuine belief and passion for the opportunity that public and hybrid cloud offer. We have already seen the technology disrupt many of the poor practices within the I.T. industry. We work with our partners on turning that disruption into their advantage.
Power without control is nothing. Our technical knowledge and understanding of all the features within the Microsoft Azure platform counts for nothing if it is not aligned to a deep understanding of our clients needs and challenges.
Our team includes ex-CIOs from Healthcare and Local Regional Government as well as Programme Managers and Enterprise Architects to ensure that we deliver outputs and outcomes

We spend around 20% of our lives at work and so it makes sense to try and make that time enjoyable challenging and rewarding.
The key to any successful culture is trust — at Shaping Cloud we ask our clients and partners to trust us and so it is imperative that we replicate that trust internally. Flexible working policies mean that our people are able to work in the way that best suits them and their own family commitments When you track progress by outcomes rather than hours at a desk it automatically changes peoples perceptions of work and the role it plays in their lives.
The next big pillar of our culture is honesty — things go wrong people make mistakes projects dont go to plan — whats important is how you respond. At Shaping Cloud we dont hide from mistakes or failures we embrace them. So much so that we have a monthly award for staff called the ’Howell-er of the month’ named in honour of James Howells who threw away a hard-disk containing millions of pounds worth of bitcoin.
The last and some would say most important aspect of our culture is fun (or the pursuit of happiness). We believe that you can marry expert delivery and professionalism with a sense of enjoyment. Monthly team outings staff barbecues and company off-sites are there to encourage our team to build the types of genuine friendships from which trust and honesty naturally flow.
We include ex-CIOs, CTOs, and Directors alongside experienced architects and engineers in a broad range of technical specialisms. We have our own experienced PMO with methodologies and tools that will help accelerate your digital transformation and delive
