Aqueduct follows a four-stage lifecycle methodology: (1) Discovery — collaborative and consultative engagement to define the solution strategy that best fits the customer’s business goals, technical requirements, and current environment; (2) Delivery — PMO and engineering teams manage the full deployment lifecycle from solution design and configuration through migration and implementation, ensuring a seamless transition with minimal business disruption; (3) Operations — ongoing post-deployment support including monitoring, incident response, security event management, change management, and health checks; and (4) Optimization — proactive performance assessment, alignment of usage with business objectives, strategic improvement recommendations, and renewal management.
