WWT + HashiCorp Vault Acceleration Program (VAP) leverages the expertise of WWT’s services teams, who have deep experience deploying and configuring Vault in various enterprise-grade technology environments. Organizations that participate in VAP become technology partners with a dedicated team of WWT Vault experts who work jointly to design, deploy, and guide each unique organization throughout the Vault adoption process. VAP begins with a discovery and assessment phase, during which a WWT team learns each participating organization’s unique secrets management needs. After analyzing the discovery and assessment results, the WWT team develops a customized Vault deployment plan, including a detailed analysis of the organization’s existing IT infrastructure, applications, security, compliance, reporting, and governance requirements. The WWT team helps implement the Vault deployment plan with hands-on Vault configuration and integration support. The deployment process includes assistance with initial Vault software deployment, core Vault system configuration, and integration with other IT systems. The team can also provide ongoing support and troubleshooting, ensuring the Vault deployment undergoes continuous optimization for the organization’s needs. In addition to deployment support, VAP provides access to training and education resources that help organizations build their expertise with Vault. The resources include personalized workshops and customized training sessions designed to meet an organization’s specific needs. The WWT team can also provide guidance on best practices for secrets management, compliance, and regulatory requirements. Organizations participating in VAP accelerate their time-to-value realization with Vault, reduce the risk of configuration errors and operational faults, and ensure their secrets management practices meet the highest security and compliance standards. The flexible and scalable program design allows organizations to tailor their VAP experience with WWT to meet their specific needs and goals.
