Data & Enterprise Architecture Consulting
Engineering smooth data transitions in a complex digital world.
I help enterprise and mid-market teams migrate to the cloud, modernize their data architecture, and connect the systems that run the business — without the disruption.
What I do
Outcomes, not just tooling.
Cloud Migration
Lift-and-shift and re-architecture strategies across AWS, Azure, and GCP, backed by cost modeling so leadership can decide with confidence.
Data Architecture & Governance
Enterprise data models, master data management, and governance frameworks that hold up as the organization scales.
CRM & ERP Integration
Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics implementations built around a cross-functional center of excellence, not a one-off rollout.
DevSecOps & Automation
Infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and security-first deployment pipelines using Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes.
How I work
One consultant, hands-on end to end.
No bench of juniors, no relay of account managers — you work directly with the person doing the architecture.
Discover
Map current systems, data flows, and constraints — no boilerplate assessment templates.
Assess & Model
Cost, risk, and feasibility modeling so you can decide with real numbers, not vendor slideware.
Architect & Build
Target-state architecture and a phased delivery plan, implemented hands-on by me.

About
Gautam Gour
Every business deserves a data foundation as strong as its vision. I'm an AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud specialist working with enterprise and mid-market clients on cloud migration, data architecture, and governance — the unglamorous work that makes everything built on top of it actually hold up.
