Veridian Peak Cloud Strategy Roadmap Consulting Service

Veridian Peak helps enterprises navigate cloud transformation with a structured, outcome-driven Cloud Strategy Roadmap engagement. Our tailored approach ensures your cloud initiatives align with business goals, setting the stage for successful digital and AI transformation on AWS.

Our engagement follows a structured methodology delivered over an estimated 6-10 week period:

Phase 1 - Discovery and Assessment (Weeks 1-2): We conduct stakeholder interviews, review your existing application portfolio, and assess current infrastructure. Your team provides application inventories, architecture documentation, and business priority inputs.

Phase 2 - Architecture Design and Strategy (Weeks 3-5): We define cloud reference architectures, classify applications for modernization, and design your target state leveraging AWS services such as AWS Control Tower, AWS Migration Hub, Amazon EKS, and Amazon SageMaker.

Phase 3 - Roadmap Delivery and Enablement (Weeks 6-10): We deliver your complete strategy roadmap, blueprints, modernization playbook, and enablement plans with a final executive readout and handoff workshop.

• Custom Cloud Strategy Roadmap: A detailed roadmap featuring initiatives, milestones, and effort estimates tied to key performance indicators (KPIs) that demonstrate business impact.

• Target Blueprints and Reference Architectures: Well-defined blueprints including deployment patterns, network and identity diagrams, and technology stack recommendations leveraging AWS services like AWS Control Tower, Amazon VPC, and AWS IAM Identity Center.

• Application Modernization Playbook: A comprehensive playbook outlining modernization patterns for each application - whether to rehost, replatform, refactor, or replace - along with estimated costs, risks, migration wave sequencing, and API/mesh strategies using cloud-native patterns on Amazon EKS and AWS Lambda.

• Data and AI Enablement Plan: A robust data platform design with governance controls, AI readiness gap analysis, and use-case identification leveraging services such as Amazon SageMaker, AWS Glue, and Amazon Redshift.

• Operating Model and Skills Plan: A clear organizational structure with defined roles, FinOps processes using AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets, and DevOps workflows using AWS CodePipeline and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform.

Customer prerequisites:

• Active AWS account or planned AWS adoption
• Application portfolio inventory (or willingness to conduct discovery)
• Availability of key stakeholders including CTO, platform team leads, and application owners
• Estimated 4-6 hours per week of buyer team involvement for interviews and reviews

Scope considerations:

• Suitable for enterprises with 20 or more applications in their portfolio
• Covers single or multi-account AWS environments
• Deliverables are customized based on portfolio complexity

Strategic Modernization Expertise: Our roadmaps go beyond generic recommendations. We classify every application in your portfolio, define migration waves, and tie each initiative to measurable KPIs so you can track cost reduction, time-to-value, and operational improvement.

AWS-Native Approach: Our blueprints and architectures are built around AWS services and best practices, ensuring your cloud foundation leverages the full breadth of the AWS ecosystem.

End-to-End Transformation: From strategy through operating model design, we address technology, people, and process in a single engagement - reducing the need for multiple vendors.
