Aligning deployment operations with architecture

Digital Architecture management ensures enterprise strategy and constraints applied while designing are adhered to in deployment and operations. It contains a prescribed way of assessing drifts and roadmap implementation items to ensure workloads are well architected and operated.

Properly done Deployment tracking ensures your application workloads remain secure, operationally efficient and cost optimized.

Deployment tracking requires technical competencies to effectively run drift analysis to identify technical debts.

Following Use cases will help you :

  • Understand AppFaktors methodology and approach to deployment tracking.

  • Deliver deployment architecture design, drift assessments, and tech-debt management capability which is critical to IT's success.

  • Make deployment alignment to architecture tracking easy with disciplined, repeatable and effective practices.

This approach and repeatable processes instills confidence that you have your stakeholders’ needs in mind.
