Driving Customer Success with the Catalyst Program: A Case Study

Jul 8, 2024 | Articles

Organizations often face daunting challenges that require expert guidance when migrating to the cloud. At Aligned Technology Group, we understand these hurdles and have designed our Catalyst program to help businesses navigate their cloud journey effectively. Today, we want to share a case study showcasing how our Catalyst program has driven exceptional results for one of our clients.

Understanding the Client’s Needs

One of our clients approached us with several pressing issues: their website was experiencing performance problems, their security posture was uncertain, and they were struggling with overall cloud comfort and costs. As a newcomer to the cloud domain, they needed comprehensive assistance but were hesitant about spending a significant amount upfront for an initial assessment.

The Catalyst Program Solution

Our Catalyst program is designed precisely for such scenarios. Within a few weeks, our team conducted a thorough architecture assessment, security assessment, and cost assessment—all at no cost to the client. This initiative was fully funded by AWS and Aligned Technology Group, ensuring the client received top-notch services without straining their budget.

Strategic Roadmap and Immediate Impact

Based on our assessments, we provided the client with a detailed roadmap, prioritizing steps to address their architecture, security, and cost concerns. Our immediate interventions led to:

  1. Cost Reduction: We identified areas to drive down expenses, ensuring the client achieved cost-efficiency in their cloud environment.
  2. Enhanced Website Resiliency: By addressing the architectural issues, we significantly improved the website’s performance and reliability.
  3. Improved Security Posture: Our security assessment highlighted critical vulnerabilities, which we promptly addressed, bolstering the client’s overall security stance.

Advisory-Led Approach

At Aligned Technology Group, we believe in an advisory-led approach. We provided the client with valuable insights and guidance to enhance their cloud performance. Whether they chose to implement these improvements independently or leverage our elastic engineering services, our goal was to deliver undeniable value.

Leveraging Elastic Engineering Services

In this case, the client managed a substantial portion of the work but required expert assistance for specific security concerns. Through our Elastic Engineering program, we quickly assigned a dedicated security engineer to address high-risk findings. This immediate response ensured the client avoided the lengthy process of recruiting and interviewing security professionals.

Delivering Long-Term Success

The outcome was a significantly improved security posture, enhanced operational efficiency, and long-term success without exceeding their budget. Our ability to provide the right resource at the right time exemplifies our commitment to client satisfaction.

This case study illustrates the transformative impact of our Catalyst program. By offering comprehensive, cost-effective assessments and leveraging our expert team, we help clients overcome their cloud challenges and achieve a superior cloud experience with AWS. At Aligned Technology Group, we are dedicated to driving customer success through strategic advisory services and innovative solutions.

Cost Optimization

Issue: Small AWS deployment with little management oversight and a lack of cloud skills internal to the organization moving from traditional infrastructure to SaaS and cloud based solutions.

 

What we did

  1. AWS Audit
  2. Cost Optimization Review
  3. Ongoing Monitoring

 

Result:

  • Eliminated unused storage volumes and the old application server no longer in use, the charges for AWS resulted in a savings of 51% per month.
  • We’ll continue to monitor AWS billing and finance to ensure maintenance of savings and identify other future changes.
