Hi

I wrote my first line of code when I was 8. 
A few years later I made this hobby and passion into my profession. 

Over the past 27 years I have helped companies build their strategy, plan their way and over-achieve their goals using information technology.

Over the past few years, I’m on a mission to help companies utilize Cloud Computing while keeping their cost well controlled.

I’m Shahar Raz,
Welcome to Raz Technology Strategy.

Consulting Modes

What does a consulting engagement look like?

your way;

Over the years we have built many tailor-made consulting modes for our clients. If there’s a specific need – we’ll find the way to help.

Working with Shahar on cloud and hosting infrastructure and on cost management,  has proven to be an excellent decision. Every time he reviewed any cost aspect his recommendation saved us a lot of money, while improving our scalability and availability. 

He is definitely a top class expert with excellent results on large scale implementations

“Shahar is an instrumental cloud and infrastructure expert, a great business partner with fantastic communication skills. Shahar is constantly over-achieving in the results and insights he delivers + brings values far beyond the tasks he was working on. Very much recommended as a partner, provider and a lecturer (educator).”

Ami Gal, CEO & Co-Founder, SQream

Public Speaking

As a speaker, a panelist and a chairperson – the list already covers 10 countries

“Cloud Computing – reducing the price of the entrance ticket”

(Observations on the revolution to come, first presented early 2009, Prague)

“Where does my money go?
Budget and capacity in the age of cloud computing”

(Helping companies understand cloud computing budget, first presented 2013, London)

“We hired Shahar to help Dealply scale before the shopping season in 2011, and have been working with him ever since. Shahar is a real devops scalability expert and cost reduction partner, but on top of that he is the kind of consultant that goes far beyond the standard commitment and dedication, always on the exact details. Every time we see our cost going down thanks to his actions and recommendations, and every time we successfully handle yet another extreme load peak – we know we chose the best consultant in the market. If you are paying for Cloud Services, or if you’re willing to build something big  – he is the person you want with you!”

Evyatar Shoresh, CEO, Dealply

Cloud Computing Budget

Traditional budget management may no longer be relevant. 

Procurement process have changed dramatically. 

We help our clients adjust, making sure they remain in control.
