Assessments

Starting with an assessment of their environment, we then work with the customer to identify and quantify the opportunities that will provide the greatest returns. We help to establish:

• Goals for IT simplification & optimization, and the target environments
• Disinvestment programs with clear understanding of financial impact (benefits!)
• Cloud Blueprint & Roadmaps
• Transformational Change Programs
• Mitigation/remediation plan for security risks

Types of Assessments

• Discover and Document — Collect and document information from subject-matter experts and existing documentation on current and planned technology solutions.
• Assess — Analyze and correlate current state infrastructure information. Identify gaps based on design principles and industry best practices.
• Present Findings & Recommendations — Provide strength and opportunity feedback on current state, and review recommendations to attain the next step rate improvements for operational maturity, price/performance, productivity, quality, and managing risk.

AWS Best Practices

• Assess your AWS Operations against the AWS Well Architected Framework (WAF)
