Architecture Design Session: a validated design for your Microsoft cloud and security solution in one to three days
Designing a solution without hands-on knowledge of what works usually means months of ramp-up or costly rework. Our Architecture Design Session condenses that learning into one to three days with your principal stakeholders and ends with a design built for your environment.
- Duration
- 1 to 3 days
- Delivery
- In person or remote
- Participants
- Your principal stakeholders and our architects
- Deliverables
- Business requirements and solution design
What we work through together
The sessions focus on use cases specific to your company, so the time your team invests goes into decisions, not generic training.
- Conversations around use cases specific to your environment and business.
- Demonstrations that show how each solution behaves in practice.
- A detailed review of your current environment and your privacy, compliance and security concerns.
- Validation in a lab environment of the use cases raised in the sessions.
- The most efficient and cost-effective way to implement the right solution.
- Documentation of everything covered and how to move forward.
How the session works
We split the engagement into focused sessions with the principal stakeholders, so nobody spends more hours than their input requires.
Discover
We learn your environment, business drivers and constraints, and agree on the use cases that deserve design time.
Demonstrate and validate
We show the candidate solutions in action and validate the use cases in lab environments to confirm they work as intended.
Design and recommend
We consolidate the findings into a solution architecture and a clear set of recommendations your team can act on.
What you receive
Business requirements
A summary of the factors driving the solution and the recommended way forward for your organization’s technology.
Solution architecture and design
A high-level presentation of how the solution meets your needs, mapped to the use cases discussed.
Synergy recommendations
Our recommendations and validated use cases, ready to inform budgeting, planning and implementation.
When an ADS makes sense
- IT leaders evaluating how Microsoft cloud technologies can improve productivity and operations.
- Organizations with privacy, compliance and security concerns that need end-to-end design support.
- Teams that cannot dedicate a resource full time to studying a new solution.
- Projects that need stakeholder alignment before implementation starts.
