Cloud Practice
Senior cloud architects for the Cloud environments enterprises run on
What we do
Three areas where we have deep expertise in.
Areas where we excel
Deep, asset-focused multi-cloud reality across regulated physical industries.
Cloud for Utilities
Electric, gas, and water workloads integrated with OT environments and on-premises assets. Landing zones, regulatory alignment (NERC CIP), and data residency schemas that treat utility assets as live critical targets.
Cloud for Oil & Gas
Upstream, midstream, and downstream operators managing global asset-heavy landscapes. Delivering multi-cloud telemetry pipelines, Exadata optimization, and high-availability database cluster isolation.
Cloud for Retail
Merlin Solutions helps retail organizations modernize with cloud platforms that enhance scalability, agility, and customer experience. We enable seamless e-commerce integration, real-time inventory visibility, and data-driven personalization to drive growth and operational efficiency.
Cloud for Manufacturing
We support manufacturing enterprises in migrating to secure and scalable cloud environments that optimize production, supply chain, and asset management. Merlin enables real-time analytics, improved collaboration, and resilient operations through hybrid and multi-cloud strategies.
Cloud for Healthcare
Merlin enables healthcare organizations to adopt cloud solutions that improve data accessibility, system interoperability, and operational efficiency. We focus on secure cloud adoption for EHR systems, analytics, and enterprise applications while ensuring compliance and data protection.
Cloud for Public Sector
We help government agencies leverage cloud technologies to modernize infrastructure, improve service delivery, and reduce operational costs. Merlin ensures secure, compliant cloud adoption aligned with government standards while enabling scalability and digital transformation.

Our Philosophy
How we think about cloud
Cloud is a delivery model, not a strategy. Avoid regret-driven repatriation by
matching cloud targets directly to heavy industrial workloads.
01
Match the cloud to the workload
Different workloads belong on different clouds. Pretending otherwise is how enterprises end up with regret-driven repatriation projects three years later. We help clients decide where each workload belongs.
02
Architecture beats automation
Most cloud failures we see started as architecture failures. Infrastructure-as-code does not save bad designs it just deploys them faster. Senior architecture is the highest-leverage investment in any cloud program.
03
On-premises and OT aren't going anywhere
Heavy-asset enterprises will continue to run hybrid environments for as long as their assets exist. We design for that reality rather than pretending the data center is going to evaporate. The integration boundary between cloud, on-premises, and OT is where most real-world complexity lives.
04
The architect is the program
In cloud delivery, the senior architect’s judgment is the variable that determines whether the program succeeds or not. Tools, frameworks, and partner tiers help. They do not substitute. We staff for architects first.
Our Edge
Why CIOs choose us
Built on senior experience, objective alignment, and deep asset-class empathy.
01
Senior architects on every engagement
The architect in your weekly meeting is the architect doing the work. No bait-and-switch from senior pitch teams to junior delivery teams. Our cloud architects average 15+ years of hands-on experience and they understand the environments you actually run.
02
Multi-cloud reality, not multi-cloud aspiration
Most heavy-asset enterprises run more than one cloud. Most cloud consulting firms specialize in one. Our practitioners work across Azure, Oracle Cloud, Google Cloud, AWS, and S/4HANA, sourced and matched to whichever environment your workloads actually run on.
03
Industry depth, not generalist breadth
Cloud delivery for utilities and oil & gas is not the same as cloud delivery for software companies. Regulatory exposure is different. Integration with OT environments is different. Operational risk tolerance is different. We bring cloud delivery experience shaped by these industries not by reference architectures written for someone else’s context.
