D3Clarity AWS Cloud Strategy & Design Services

D3Clarity Cloud Strategy and Design Services is a D3Clarity-led professional services engagement that aligns business goals to an AWS target architecture and an implementation-ready plan—delivered in your existing AWS accounts (no proprietary software, no SaaS replacement).

We combine business strategy, AWS Well-Architected design, and delivery planning so your teams can reduce technical debt, improve operational performance, and accelerate modernization with clear governance. The strategy is anchored in measurable KPIs such as Mean Time to Detect (MTTD), Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR), Lead Time for Changes (LTC), and Change Failure Rate (CFR).

• Current-State Discovery and Requirements: Stakeholder workshops, workload inventory, constraints, risk register, and success criteria.
• Target AWS Architecture and Design: Well-Architected-aligned reference architecture, environment strategy (accounts/VPCs), and standard patterns.
• Security, Identity, and Governance Blueprint: Guardrails, shared responsibility mapping, and controls plan to support regulated environments.
• Cloud Operating Model and Delivery Plan: Roles/RACI, runbooks approach, and operational metrics plan (including MTTD and MTTR baselines).
• Prioritized Modernization Roadmap: Phased backlog with sequencing, dependencies, and "first 30/60/90 day" execution plan.
• Implementation-Ready Package: Build plan, estimates, and launch checklist (pilot scope + scale plan) aligned to D3Clarity's 4-phase methodology.

A financial services organization needed to modernize legacy workloads into a regulated AWS environment while maintaining compliance controls. D3Clarity delivered a target architecture with account separation for production and non-production environments, identity governance aligned to regulatory requirements, and a phased migration roadmap. The engagement established MTTR and MTTD baselines, enabling the client to track operational improvements as workloads moved to production.

• Trusted Partner: AWS Advanced Tier Consulting Partner with Amazon Connect Delivery, Well-Architected Partner Program, and Migration and Modernization Services Competency specializations.
• Specialized Expertise: Business Strategy, Well-Architected Cloud, Solution Design and Implementation, and optional 24x7 Production Support.
• AWS Partner Funding Experts: We help align eligible engagements to applicable AWS partner funding programs.
• Proven Track Record: Experience deploying 1000s of AWS workloads to production with disciplined delivery methods.
• Professional Services Only: We configure AWS-native solutions for client outcomes - never proprietary software replacements.
• Operational Excellence: Documented delivery methodology, support SLAs, and metrics-driven operations aligned to AWS guidance.

D3Clarity helps you maximize results with AWS Partner Funding programs. If eligible, these programs can reduce or eliminate costs:

• Proof-of-Concept (POC): Funding of pilots for small-scale or initial deployments
• Migration Acceleration Program (MAP): Funding for enterprise-scale migrations
• Well-Architected Partner Program Funding: Funding for new AWS infrastructure in existing accounts

Talk to our team for more information about these programs.

• Faster time-to-plan (and time-to-build): Within weeks, teams leave with an execution-ready backlog and target architecture, reducing stalled initiatives and rework.
• Measured reliability and delivery improvements: Establish baselines and target outcomes for MTTD, MTTR, LTC, and CFR so modernization progress is trackable - not subjective.
• Reduced cloud cost waste through design: Architecture and governance decisions aligned to cost optimization best practices to improve Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over time.
