In a four-week span, our team engaged in five meticulously planned workshops, targeting key stakeholders. These sessions ran concurrently, enabling us to perform a deep analysis of both business challenges and technical issues.
Our assessment covered four main areas:
●
Cloud infrastructure: resource usage, performance, networking capabilities, data security protocols, backups, and the integrity of data storage solutions
●
Database management: data model, data consistency, adherence to data retention protocols, data availability for business continuity, and synchronization processes across various data sources
●
Delivery & deployment: existing tools in use, GIT workflows, code consistency, release stability, and the DevOps practices in place
●
Application architecture: overarching architecture overview, technology stack versions, code quality, security, and adherence to best practices and pragmatic design principles
In our quest for a holistic understanding, we expanded our scope of work to include an analysis of the system’s functional structure and the development of the disaster recovery plan.
As an outcome, we produced an all-encompassing IT infrastructure audit report that included the following deliverables:
●
Infrastructure diagram illustrating the interconnections between various IT components within the company’s ecosystem
●
Bottleneck analysis outlining identified bottlenecks with actionable steps for improved efficiency
●
Disaster recovery planfor quick IT system restoration to maintain operations
●
Cost optimization strategy featuring recommendations for reducing infrastructure costs without sacrificing performance
●
Application component diagram highlighting the interactions, interconnections, and dependencies within the architecture
●
Optimization recommendations to enhance application efficiency
●
Transformation roadmap guiding our client through both immediate solutions and strategic long-term overhauls
