Our Approach

We began by collecting in-depth information through custom questionnaires tailored to their engineering processes and future-state objectives. Additionally, we interviewed key members of their engineering team to gain insight into technical requirements, migration timelines, and strategic goals. This hybrid approach allowed us to uncover underlying assumptions and ensure we had a full understanding of both technical and operational constraints.

Deliverables and Outcome

Following the audit, Yojimbo Corp produced a comprehensive report that highlighted areas of strength in Herbalife’s migration plan as well as potential risks. For each area of concern, we provided targeted recommendations and mitigation strategies to align their cloud architecture with AWS best practices. The report also included corrective actions designed to improve long-term efficiency and ensure the migration was not only smooth but sustainable.
