• Existing and relevant security and compliance requirements
• Existing and relevant data and storage requirements

Future State Discovery

Adastra will work with the client to understand their future state needs via discovery sessions. Discovery activities will include the following:

Roadmap for Data Acceleration

Using the information gathered during the current and future state discovery phases, Adastra will work with the client to create a roadmap for AWS data acceleration. The roadmap will include recommended development patterns and frameworks aligned with the client’s business goals.

The roadmap will include:

• Prioritization of application(s) and/or net new workload builds
• A recommended build strategy
• Recommended future state target architecture
• Source and target architecture diagrams and/or data flow diagrams for prioritized use case(s)
• A list of the tools required to test the recommended strategies/patterns in preparation for the data acceleration use case(s)
