Delivery
Deployments that transfer ownership, not create dependency
We own the migration from kickoff to steady state. Everything we build is documented, tested, and designed to be maintained by your team.
No hard
cutovers — ever
Parallel
operation before decommission
Written
runbooks for every procedure
Signed off
acceptance criteria at each phase
What we deliver
Full-cycle implementation across every layer
Each implementation engagement is scoped to your specific environment. These are the delivery capabilities we bring to every project.
Platform deployment
End-to-end deployment of the Aethon Core Platform — from environment setup and configuration through to production cutover and steady state. We own the migration plan, the runbooks, and the rollback procedures.
Includes: Environment design, config as code, cutover planning
Legacy system migration
Structured migration of legacy infrastructure to modern platforms. We run parallel operation periods before decommissioning anything — no hard cutovers that put production at risk. Every workload is validated before the old environment is removed.
Includes: Workload migration sequencing, parallel operation, cutover validation
Data pipeline implementation
Design and deployment of end-to-end data infrastructure: ingestion connectors, transformation layers, warehousing, and the access controls that govern who sees what. Pipelines are built to be maintained by your team — not by us indefinitely.
Includes: ETL/ELT pipelines, warehouse provisioning, lineage tooling
Security control deployment
Implementation of security controls designed during the architecture phase — Zero Trust network segmentation, identity governance, endpoint management, and SIEM/SOAR integration. Controls are deployed in stages with validation gates between each.
Includes: Control deployment, integration testing, runbook creation
API and integration development
Custom integrations between the Aethon Core Platform and existing enterprise systems — ERP, CRM, ITSM, identity providers, and third-party data sources. Built to API contracts with documentation and test coverage your team inherits.
Includes: API design, integration development, documentation
IaC and GitOps setup
Your infrastructure codified, version-controlled, and deployed through a CI/CD pipeline. We establish the Terraform or Pulumi module structure, pipeline configuration, policy checks, and branching model — and train your team to own it from day one.
Includes: IaC scaffolding, pipeline configuration, team training
Methodology
How every implementation runs
We don't hand you a migration guide and wish you luck. Our engineers own every phase. Here's the exact sequence.
Discovery
Week 1–2
Our engineers map your current environment — every tool, dependency, data flow, and integration point. We produce a complete current-state document and identify every risk and dependency that will affect the migration sequence.
Current-state architecture + dependency map + risk register
Design
Week 3–4
We produce the target architecture, migration runbook, rollback plan, and acceptance criteria. Nothing moves to production until you've reviewed and signed off on the plan. We present the design to your team in a structured walkthrough session.
Target architecture + migration runbook + rollback plan
Pilot
Week 5–8
A non-production workload or a low-risk subset of the environment migrates first. We validate performance against acceptance criteria, test every runbook, train your operations team, and tune the configuration before touching production.
Validated runbooks + performance benchmarks + trained team
Migration
Week 9–20
Production workloads migrate in sequenced waves with defined parallel operation windows. Each wave includes a stabilization period before the next begins. No wave is considered complete until acceptance criteria are met and signed off.
Wave completion sign-offs + updated architecture documentation
Handoff
Week 20–24
Structured knowledge transfer to your operations team or managed services team. We produce runbooks for every operational procedure, conduct live training sessions, and remain available for escalation during a defined warranty period.
Complete runbook library + training completion + warranty period start
Use Cases
Implementation scenarios we're built for
Energy & Utilities
OT/IT platform integration without production disruption
The Situation
An energy company needs to integrate its operational technology network with the Aethon Core Platform to enable unified monitoring. The OT environment controls physical grid infrastructure — any disruption has consequences that extend well beyond the IT operations team.
Our Approach
We run a read-only telemetry integration in the pilot phase before any write-path control is established. OT and IT engineers participate in every stage. The rollout is sequenced by site, with a full stabilization period at each site before proceeding. Production is never at risk.
Financial Services
Core platform migration with zero downtime requirement
The Situation
A financial institution needs to migrate its core infrastructure management platform. The existing platform handles change management for production systems — any migration gap that results in unmanaged changes during a production incident would be unacceptable to regulators and the risk team.
Our Approach
We run both platforms in parallel for an extended period, with the new platform in shadow mode first, then in parallel approval mode. No change is made to production without dual approval from both platforms. Only when parallel operation proves stable does the old platform get decommissioned.
Is this right for you?
This is a good fit if you…
- You've decided what to deploy and need a team with real implementation experience to do it right
- A previous implementation failed, stalled, or delivered less than was promised
- You're deploying the Aethon Core Platform and want the team that built it to implement it
- You're migrating from one system to another and need someone to own the migration end to end
You might want to start elsewhere if…
- You haven't decided what to deploy yet — start with a consulting conversation or architecture review
- You need custom software built from scratch — that's the Application Development service
