Overview
IntentIQ - Intent-Based Network Strategy
UST SmartOps IntentIQ - Intent-Based Network Strategy
IntentIQ bridges the gap between business strategy and network execution. A leader can express an intent - such as improving regional reliability or reducing cost - and IntentIQ models the outcome, translates it into concrete network policies and actions, and tracks whether the network remains aligned to that goal over time.
This continuous intent-to-execution loop replaces slow, manual strategy translation with a fast, auditable process - ensuring the network evolves in lockstep with changing business priorities instead of drifting away from them.
AWS Integration
IntentIQ is delivered as a professional service on AWS Marketplace and leverages AWS services including AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Network Manager to translate business intent into actionable network policies within AWS cloud environments. The service supports hybrid and multi-cloud network architectures managed through AWS.
Engagement Process
Phase 1 - Discovery and Scoping (Week 1-2): UST consultants conduct a discovery workshop to understand your business goals, current network architecture, and strategic priorities. Deliverable: Scoping document and intent-mapping framework.
Phase 2 - Intent Modeling and Policy Translation (Week 3-5): Business intents are modeled, outcome scenarios are evaluated, and concrete network policies are generated. Deliverable: Intent-to-policy mapping document with validated action plans.
Phase 3 - Alignment Monitoring Setup (Week 6-8): Continuous monitoring is configured to track intent alignment, detect drift, and generate alerts. Deliverable: Drift-monitoring dashboard and alerting configuration.
Phase 4 - Handoff and Enablement (Week 9-10): Knowledge transfer, team training, and operational handoff. Deliverable: Operational playbook and goal-tracking reporting framework.

Engagement Delivery Model
Upon engagement initiation, UST assigns a dedicated consultant team to guide you through the full intent-to-execution lifecycle. The engagement typically spans 8-10 weeks across four phases: Discovery and Scoping, Intent Modeling and Policy Translation, Alignment Monitoring Setup, and Handoff and Enablement.
Buyer Responsibilities
Customers are expected to provide access to network architecture documentation, relevant network management platforms, and stakeholder availability for discovery workshops and intent-definition sessions. A designated customer point of contact is required for coordination throughout the engagement.
Handoff Artifacts
At engagement close, customers receive an intent-to-policy mapping document, configured drift-monitoring dashboard, operational playbook, and goal-tracking reporting framework. These artifacts enable your team to maintain continuous intent alignment independently.
Post-Engagement Support
For questions about delivered artifacts, troubleshooting, or service-related inquiries including refund requests, contact UST via email or AWS Marketplace messaging. A communication channel established during your engagement remains available for follow-up questions related to your specific deployment.
