Annual solution audit

A remote review carried out by a Solution Architect of the following aspects of your Metapack implementation:

  • Current issues and challenges.

  • How you are currently integrated, including any current issues and errors found in the logs/data.

  • Your current configuration compared to Metapack’s current recommended implementation strategy.

  • Your strategy and roadmap, and its alignment to Metapack’s solution footprint and roadmap.

The review is delivered as a presentation of findings where Metapack will make recommendations, which could include:

  • Configuration changes that might resolve current issues and/or improve the efficiency/performance of your Metapack application.

  • Configuration changes that would align you with Metapack’s current recommended implementation strategy.

  • Recommended changes to the integration layer.

  • An overview of how Metapack’s current solutions footprint and roadmap may be aligned to your own strategy and roadmap.
