Cloud ModernizationSeries B SaaS — 120 Engineers

Stalled AWS migration completed in 90 days after 14 months of failed attempts

Context

The engineering organization had attempted AWS migration three times over 14 months. Each attempt stalled — scope overrun, unclear ownership, and a growing inventory of half-migrated services introducing more instability than the legacy environment it was designed to replace.

The Problem

$400K in sunk costs. Engineering confidence at a low point. A board that had effectively stopped believing the programme would complete.

What We Did

Aedifex conducted a current-state assessment. The root cause was identified within two weeks: no unified view of what assets existed, what depended on what, and who owned what. Velaurum was deployed as the operational foundation. A phased migration plan with hard milestones and explicit rollback criteria replaced the open-ended roadmap. Migration completed in 11 weeks.

Results
+62% deployment velocity post-migration
$180K annual infrastructure cost reduction
Zero production incidents during the migration window
Engineering confidence recovered — NPS from -20 to +45
Engineering LeadershipFintech — Pre-Series A

Engineering organization stabilized and product delivered on schedule ahead of investor milestone

Context

Two weeks before a critical investor demo, the engineering director resigned. Eight engineers remained, operating without delivery structure, with a product six weeks behind schedule and a $2M Series A contingent on the outcome.

The Problem

No technical leadership. No delivery framework. A founder managing engineers directly while running the company. The demo was 14 days away.

What We Did

Aedifex engaged within 48 hours as interim technical direction. Sprint cadence was restructured, ownership was established, and Velaurum was deployed to surface all in-flight work and dependencies in a single view. The team delivered the demo build on schedule.

Results
Investor demo delivered on schedule
$2M Series A secured
Full engineering team retained
Permanent Director of Engineering placed within 60 days
Velaurum DeploymentRegional Government Agency — Vancouver, BC

Seven disconnected asset systems unified — compliance reporting reduced from 3 weeks to 4 hours

Context

A regional government agency responsible for $80M in public assets managed them across seven disconnected systems — legacy ITSM tools, spreadsheets, and a bespoke contract management database not updated in four years.

The Problem

Quarterly compliance reporting required 3 weeks and four full-time staff. Two audits had flagged fragmented records as a material governance risk. No real-time view of asset health or contract expiry at the executive level.

What We Did

Velaurum was deployed across all asset classes with a custom compliance reporting module designed for the agency's specific regulatory requirements. Integration with the existing procurement system completed in week six. Full deployment live in eight weeks.

Results
Compliance reporting: 3 weeks → 4 hours
$2.3M in previously untracked assets surfaced
Full audit trail for all 12,400+ assets
Staff reporting time reduced by 70%
Zero compliance findings at the subsequent audit
