Cloud services partner partnered with Spectrum to address operational and technology gaps in cloud services. Manual assessments took weeks per enterprise customer. Partners needed repeatable, defensible outputs. Spectrum applied a phased delivery model — 5 months — aligning stakeholders, compliance needs, and production cadence. Since 2016, Spectrum has delivered similar programs with managed teams and fixed-cost options.
Business challenge
Manual assessments took weeks per enterprise customer. Partners needed repeatable, defensible outputs.
Manual assessments
Architects spent weeks per enterprise discovery engagement.
Inconsistent outputs
Partner deliverables varied in depth and format.
Slow sales cycle
Prospects waited too long for migration recommendations.
Trust in AI
Generated steps required architect review before client delivery.
Solution
Enterprise assessments were eating architect weeks and still arriving in inconsistent formats. We standardized scoring, used AI to draft migration steps architects edit — not worship — and gave partners a branded portal prospects could actually read.
Module 1: Assessment framework
Readiness, risk, and cost dimensions score the same way whether the client is retail or manufacturing — partners stopped reinventing slide decks. Workshops produce structured inputs; the framework turns them into comparable reports executives can rank. Architects spend time challenging assumptions, not formatting Word templates.
Module 2: AI playbooks
LLMs draft wave plans, dependency notes, and cutover considerations from discovery data — every section requires architect sign-off before export. The model suggests; it does not publish. Review queues show what changed between v1 and v2 so knowledge stays in the firm, not just the prompt. Sales cycles shortened because prospects received drafts in days, refined in a follow-up workshop.
Module 3: Partner portal
Multi-tenant branding, asset libraries, and report history mean partners resell without forwarding PDFs named final_FINAL. Clients download signed outputs; partners see usage and revision trails. Governance teams like that approved language blocks live in one place — not copy-pasted from old engagements.
