WOLK ISV Operational Accelerator

Overview

A managed service designed for the needs of ISVs, the WOLK ISV Operational Accelerator lets you focus on delivering value to your customers, while WOLK manages your cloud infrastructure - including CI/CD pipelines, test, pre-prod and prod environments; as well as your customer deployments, for a truly “as-a-service” experience.

Today’s software companies need to leverage both architectural and operational best practices to deliver the solutions their customers expect. WOLK’s purpose-built managed services solution for ISVs lets you focus on the functional requirements of your application, while leveraging WOLK’s extensive operational capabilities as an AWS Well-Architected partner to securely manage your AWS infrastructure, and provide architectural guidance when you need it.

Start your development with a Well-Architected foundation with secure environment, with built-in guardrails that lets your team focus on features, and not the undifferentiated heavy-lifting of managing access control and security, network configurations, and deployment automation over multiple environments.

Then, WOLK helps you deploy your solution as a service. Simplify your customer deployments with automation and management from WOLK, with reliability and security built-in. WOLK will work with you to package your solution for deployment and management, taking care of the operational management, including backups, high availability, and resiliency needs.

And stay ahead of your customers with proactive monitoring and automated alerting. WOLK’s realtime dashboards will help you keep track of your application performance, and provides insight for data driven improvements over time.

Process

• WOLK’s team will schedule an initial consultation to understand the current state of your application, and your specific needs.

• The team will review the architecture of your application, identify any potential risks and improvements that might be relevant, and provide you with an on-boarding plan, tailored to your needs.

• WOLK will then on-board you to a secure, managed, multi-stage environment, configuring foundational CI/CD pipelines, security guard-rails, and monitoring. While WOLK manages your environment, you retain complete control of your AWS accounts.

• WOLK will then work with your team to design the ideal deployment architecture for your solution, and help build deployment automation to support on-boarding your customers.

• WOLK’s service desk can then automate provisioning infrastructure for your customers as you grow your business, ensuring that they start consuming your application as a service, fully supported with a secure, isolated, and resilient solution from day one.

Benefits

• Reduce your time to market. Working with WOLK lets you focus on delivering value for your customers, and not the undifferentiated heavy lifting of managing cloud environments.

• Build with the quality your customers expect. Well-Architected guidance comes as standard. Ensure you meet your customers needs with specific guidance on how best to leverage AWS.

• Leverage operational automation to support your growth. Often, ISVs neglect non-functional or operational requirements until it’s too late. Set up for success by building in best-practice operational automation from day one.
