SMART AIM (Application Innovation & Migration) by Spanish Point accelerates the customer journey to Microsoft Azure. It consists of:
The SMART AIM Library serves as a comprehensive collection of templates for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD pipeline automation, tailored for widely-used Azure PaaS and IaaS components used by modern organisations.
This Software Library IP streamlines the integration and utilisation of IaC, facilitating a more cost-effective and expedited deployment process for targeted Azure services and workloads.
Manual configuration of cloud infrastructure is time-consuming and error-prone. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) employs scripts to configure cloud environments, significantly reducing errors and costs while enhancing predictability, traceability, and governance controls. The SMART AIM Library offers templates that expedite infrastructure deployment, ensuring swift implementation.
The SMART AIM Library includes pre-built reference architectures templates for different workloads such as data analytics and serverless web application. Integrating proven methodologies and industry best practices, these templates support and facilitate migration, modernisation, and innovation at scale and offer a robust and scalable foundation for efficient cloud management and development.
The SMART AIM library includes prebuilt “reference architectures” developed by our Azure Engineering Team integrating our methodologies, standards, and industry best practices. This comprehensive resource comprises configuration files along with associated build and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines tailored for deploying customer applications and their corresponding infrastructure within Azure.
A foundation of the SMART AIM Library lies in its assortment of prebuilt, configurable components designed to empower customers to deliver swiftly, heightening the security and quality of outcomes while mitigating risks. Developed by our Azure engineering team, this library embodies our methodologies, standards, and best practices.
Customers maintain access to the SMART AIM Library components, benefitting from regular updates enriched with new functionalities by the Spanish Point development teams upon the creation of new custom code within projects.
The new custom code is created as reusable automated scripts that are then added to the SMART AIM Library and made available to all licensed customers.
