Unbiased cloud assessment companies?

Hi all,
I'm looking for truly unbiased (but intelligent) company(ies) who perform cloud assessments. Specifically, the assessment I am seeking would assess the current IT situation, review both physical data and interview personnel, then present a findings report. The report would describe the current IT situation, proposed cloud solution, and challenges to achieving that cloud solution. Challenges would need to consider the expense from both CapEx and OpEx, transition expense, meaning migration, and educational expense of training.

I believe a third-party company needs to be able to provide this type of analysis, since customers cannot make the unbiased view. I also believe a third-party company cannot offer its own cloud services since their analysis would be biased towards their service offerings.

So, anyone know of any company that provides such a service?

I think you are looking for a cloud provider who can manage your complete IT but first you want audit of your current IT infrastructure.

Where is your location.

Thanks,

Hi Alex,
No I'm not looking for a cloud provider. I am looking for a company that can provide an assessment and then I can determine which cloud provider would be appropriate. The problem I've found, is that every cloud service provider wants to push their services and negatively (or inaccurately) depict the competition as inferior. It's a matter of finding a company with integrity, really.
