At Architecture in Motion, we tackle your most complex challenges with a security-first mindset, ensuring every solution aligns with
your business objectives. Before any engagement, we conduct a thorough needs analysis, evaluating the risks, complexity, and
potential benefits to your organization. This process allows us to gain a deep understanding of your business, identifying hidden
opportunities and crafting solutions that not only solve current issues but also pave the way for growth.
We know that the journey to transformation can be daunting. That’s why our expertise is at your service, guiding you to the
most effective and secure outcomes—often uncovering the best solutions that may not be immediately visible.
At AIM, we understand that real change is challenging. Whether you’re a small startup or a large enterprise, resistance to change
often stems from limited resources, inefficient processes, or tight timelines. Our methodology bridges this gap, offering turnkey solutions
powered by a highly skilled team with proven industry experience. Our approach is comprehensive—we launch solutions with operational
support in mind and offer ongoing training and extended engagement options to ensure your success.
In this crucial first phase, we focus on comprehensive preparation and planning. We work to identify all detailed functional and non-functional requirements, understand key drivers and roadmaps, and transform them into approved deliverables that will shape the project’s design.
Clear reporting ensures stakeholders are always in the loop, providing updates on identified issues and risk assessments. Our team then collaborates in workshops, aligning on the next steps and addressing any outstanding concerns to keep the project moving forward.
In this phase, we focus on gathering crucial information and setting the groundwork for success. Our infrastructure team begins building a pre-production environment if included in the scope. While often reserved for implementation, introducing new technology here allows our designers to test product compatibility, high availability, network protocols, and potential issues early. This proactive approach enables us to identify, escalate, and resolve issues before they become critical.
Security plays a central role, with expert consultants collaborating with the client’s security team to assess roadmaps, current policies, and control zones. Together, we outline security requirements that safeguard the entire project lifecycle.
During the analysis phase, we dive deep into the project requirements, performing a thorough risk assessment. This forms the foundation for developing the system architecture document, where we seamlessly blend functional, non-functional, and security requirements with the current state of the system to create a clear vision of the future.
We collaborate closely with your team through design workshops and refine the architecture with insights from both security and vendor experts. We’ll define the logical security architecture and align it with leading frameworks like SABSA and ISO 27001, ensuring robust compliance. Detailed security test cases will also be created to ensure nothing is overlooked.
At this stage, we begin designing around the use cases outlined in the solution overview. Our senior consultants will develop pseudo-code, services, and canonical documents, as well as transaction/process flows and sequence diagrams, following our proven methodology.
Our Quality Assurance Track will kick off the development of test cases for Unit, UIT, SIT, and performance testing using an automated framework. These tests are essential for ensuring thorough regression testing throughout the project lifecycle.
Additionally, Security Assessments commence as soon as the pre-production environment is ready. We provide a comprehensive report to ensure all security requirements are addressed, continuing assessments until complete.
The development team will begin implementing the defined use cases in collaboration with the client's team, who will provide guidance, perform peer code reviews, and approve key deliverables under the direction of our Lead Architect.
Change Management is critical for success, as no project is truly complete without ensuring that the delivered infrastructure and application components are effectively managed. If the project introduces new products to the client’s existing ecosystem—enhancing or complementing current capabilities—we place special emphasis on training and mentoring development and operations staff. Extended support is provided to help the client's team transition into their new roles and responsibilities with confidence in the new technologies.
We offer a customizable 30-day warranty, designed to adapt to your needs. Our experienced team at AIM is ready to support you beyond the initial go-live phase, ensuring you feel confident in managing your new solution. We also provide access to our subject matter experts for essential mentoring, helping your team gradually build their skills and confidence in handling these infrastructure components at their own pace.
AIM provides process-driven strategy and design as well as integration-driven orchestration and automation. We deliver the expertise to seamlessly integrate process transformation with automation development, making continuous process improvement measurable and a reality.
