Our FLUID assessment methodology offers a strategic and comprehensive approach designed to refine data and machine learning workloads, ensuring precise alignment with business objectives. By leveraging AWS services such as Amazon SageMaker, AWS Bedrock, and AWS Lambda, this methodology prioritizes strategic direction, investment alignment, adherence to best practices, and cost optimization to prevent inefficient resource allocation and "spray and pray" tactics from the outset.

With an emphasis on iterative improvement, FLUID maintains continuous momentum in project execution, ensuring that no constraints hinder sustained progress.

Each assessment is conducted by two AWS-certified Solution Architects to ensure an objective and comprehensive evaluation, reinforcing our commitment to delivering well-architected solutions that drive business success.

Delivery Mechanism:

The FLUID assessment results in a comprehensive deliverable package which includes:

• Generated PDF Report: Produced by our proprietary FLUID Assessment Tool, this report features a bespoke questionnaire tailored specifically for the company, combined with our expert analysis leveraging AWS AI and machine learning services.

• Executive Summary: A concise overview summarizing the current technology landscape of the company, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and critical areas for improvement, with specific recommendations on AWS service optimization.

• Presentation Walk-through: Detailed presentation of the assessment findings to the business and/or technology teams, enhancing understanding and facilitating decision-making with AWS service insights.

• Traffic Light Analysis: A visual summary using a traffic light system to indicate the status and risk levels of various components within the technology landscape, with specific AWS service recommendations.

Implementation and Follow-Up:

To ensure effective implementation of recommendations:

• Advisory Plan: Offers quarterly follow-ups to review progress and make necessary adjustments, focusing on AWS service utilization and optimization.

• Project Team Deployment: Deploys a project team dedicated to developing the recommended changes within the proposed timeframe, utilizing AWS services for efficient execution.
