Start with the business outcome
Before discussing services, define what needs to improve: application performance, recovery readiness, deployment speed, operational visibility, or cost control. Agree on the current baseline and how progress will be measured.
Where a partner can help
Assessment and planning
Review workloads, dependencies, security requirements, and operating costs before recommending changes.
Architecture and migration
Design the target environment, plan migration waves, test application behaviour, and prepare cutover and recovery steps.
Security and operations
Define access controls, monitoring, patching, backup responsibilities, and incident procedures for the agreed scope.
Cost management
Review utilisation, resource sizing, storage, and purchasing options against actual workload requirements.
Choose the right partner for your project
Look for experience with your application stack, clear delivery responsibilities, and relevant customer references. Ask how architecture decisions are documented, how change requests are handled, and what knowledge will be handed over to your team. Partner credentials and individual certifications provide context, but should be considered alongside delivery experience.
Agree on the operating model
Clarify who owns the AWS account, billing, access approvals, backups, monitoring, and incident escalation. Set service hours, response expectations, and responsibilities in the engagement scope. A managed service arrangement should make these responsibilities easy to understand.
Measure results after delivery
Review the outcomes against the baseline: performance, service incidents, recovery tests, resource utilisation, and monthly costs. Cloud operations evolve as applications and demand change, so schedule periodic reviews rather than treating the first deployment as the final design.
