Who we work with

Advisory for organisations that build serious systems

Different scales, same standard: technology decisions that must survive regulators, growth and real operational pressure.

Enterprise & Tier 1

Banks, lenders, insurers and large corporates navigating AI adoption, regulatory demands and complex estates. We speak your language — and your regulator’s.

Startups & Scale-ups

Product-led businesses that need senior technology judgement without a full-time CTO — architecture, AI capability and investor-ready technical credibility.

Transformation Programmes

AI adoption programmes, payments modernisation, platform builds, CRM rollouts, cloud migration at scale. When stakes are high, that’s where we operate.

Core services

What we deliver

Five practice areas, one operating principle: senior people, end to end — from board-level strategy to production deployment.

Flagship

AI Advisory & Strategy

AI readiness, GenAI and agent strategy, use-case selection, governance for regulated environments — advice grounded in AI systems we build and operate ourselves.

The principals

Two principals. No layers. No junior bench.

Skin in the game

We don’t just advise on AI. We ship it.

Most consultants recommend what they’ve read about. We recommend what we run. Alongside client work, we founded and operate Property Deals Insight — a VC-backed property intelligence platform selected for PwC Scale 2026, with AI agents serving real users in production every day.

When we tell you what an AI programme will really cost, break, and deliver — it’s because we’ve paid those bills ourselves.

What that means for you
  • AI cost, latency and evaluation advice from live production systems
  • Vendor claims stress-tested against our own operating experience
  • Bank-grade governance thinking applied to real-world AI

How we work

From assessment to delivery

01

Discovery & Review

We assess your systems, data, pain points and objectives. No assumptions — we understand the real landscape before recommending anything.

02

Strategy & Design

Target architecture, AI use-case selection, integration approach and a delivery roadmap. Clear documentation, not vague slide decks.

03

Build & Implement

We deliver hands-on — building, integrating and configuring alongside your teams. We don’t hand over a document and disappear.

04

Ongoing Advisory

Technology isn’t a one-off event. We stay engaged to guide decisions, review evolving requirements and keep systems serving the business.

Ways to engage

Start small. Scale only when it earns it.

Fixed-scope entry points designed so engaging us is a straightforward decision — not a procurement project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does NY Cloud Solutions do?

NY Cloud Solutions is a senior technology advisory practice specialising in AI strategy and adoption, enterprise architecture, payments and Open Banking, cloud platforms on AWS, and Salesforce/CRM transformation. Every engagement is delivered directly by the two principal consultants — no junior bench, no account managers.

Who do you work with?

Tier 1 banks and financial institutions, established enterprises, and scaling startups — typically organisations facing high-stakes technology decisions: adopting AI responsibly, modernising payments platforms, migrating to the cloud, or integrating complex systems.

How are you different from a large consultancy?

You work directly with the principals who do the thinking and the delivery. There are no layers of project managers or inflated teams. The people advising on your strategy are the same people who have designed, built and operated production systems at Tier 1 institutions for over two decades each.

Do you only advise, or do you also build?

Both. We define strategy and target architecture, and we deliver hands-on — building AI capabilities, integrations, cloud environments and Salesforce implementations alongside your teams. We also run AI agents in production within our own products, so our advice is grounded in operating experience.

Where are you based?

London, United Kingdom — working with clients across the UK and internationally, on-site or remotely.

How does an engagement start?

With a free 30-minute strategy call. We discuss your situation, whether we are the right fit, and what an engagement could look like — from a short advisory review to an ongoing fractional CTO arrangement or a full delivery programme.

Ready to talk?

Whether it’s an AI strategy, a payments platform, a cloud migration or a complex integration — book a 30-minute call. No sales pitch. Just a candid conversation about your situation and whether we’re the right fit.
