Zen's AWS Assess & Align cloud assessment service uncovers risks, optimises costs, and aligns your AWS strategy with business goals through expert-led reviews.
Overview
Clarity and Confidence in Your Cloud Strategy
Move from reactive fixes to a business-aligned cloud strategy with Zen's AWS Assess & Align - reducing risk today and building a roadmap for long-term success.
Cloud should enable growth, not bottlenecks. Yet many organisations still firefight risks, overspend, or lose sight of business priorities. AWS Assess & Align changes that with a structured, two-step engagement delivered by Zen's UK-based, AWS-certified Solution Architects.
How It Works: Two-Step Engagement
Step 1: AWS Well-Architected Review (WAFR) A structured assessment of your workloads against AWS best practices across security, reliability, cost optimisation, operational excellence, and performance efficiency. This step surfaces risks and inefficiencies, producing a detailed findings report with prioritised remediation items.
- Duration: Typically completed within 1week
- Deliverable: Comprehensive findings report covering identified risks and improvement opportunities
- Minimal preparation required from your team
Step 2: Technical Roadmap Prioritisation (TRP) Collaborative stakeholder planning sessions that bring business and technology leaders together. Cloud initiatives are mapped by cost, effort, and business impact to create a prioritised action plan.
- Duration: Typically 1-2 weeks including stakeholder workshops
- Deliverable: Prioritised roadmap linking business strategy to technical next steps
- Aligns cloud priorities with growth, compliance, or M&A goals
