Cloud Consulting for Fortune 50 Healthcare Company
Challenge
In a previous engagement, Sketch Development Services provided this client with a Cloud Enablement strategy, laying out a plan to productize CCoE’s services and tools for easier cloud adoption by our client’s development teams. The client then asked Sketch to engage with them to establish a backlog of items to help along the strategy’s journey and to build out some of these products leveraging AWS’ Cloud Development Kit (“CDK”). This co-development program helped a Fortune 50 company ensure technical excellence into the future.
This enormous client needed to lower the learning curve to implement CloudFormation templates, shell scripts, Python CDK staks, and CCoE expertise across the entire organization. To add a layer of difficulty, this client is in an industry where security and compliance cannot be compromised in the least.

Solution
There were four main objectives in this engagement that we focused on to achieve the mission:
- Build a toolset (CCoE’s “product”) for adoption by client’s development teams.
- Establish CCoE’s delivery strategy of these tools.
- Automate speedy delivery of the toolset to the consumers when new features or bug-fixes need to be released.
- Eliminate barriers for development teams to implement the product in their own environments for their own successes.

Results
We helped the CCoE team build:
- A product line of 11 CDK constructs that generate
- Infrastructure-as-Code templates, approved the client’s architectures
- A mechanism allowing CCoE to create the product line once, yet providing it to development teams in five total programming languages (Go, Java, .NET, Typescript, and Python)
- Automated processes to test, build, and deploy updates and enhancements to the product line
- Samples and documentation that teams can reference to help with successful adoption
Sketch gave the CCoE team an established path to provide tools and materials to other development teams, enabling efficient migration of applications from on-prem to AWS.
