Introduction to Spanish Point’s Developer Solutions

 At Spanish Point, our developer solutions provide you with the needed technology to make sure you are up to date. We have curated and developed our scalable software library, helping you get more from Microsoft Azure through our SMART AIM library. Our SMART AIM library offers you Infrastructure as Code, Azure Landing zones and Azure DevOps Pipelines, accelerating your journey in Microsoft Azure while ensuring you are up to date with all of the other modern organisations.

We’re introducing you to our developer solutions by breaking down everything you need to know about our SMART AIM library and showing you how you can elevate your business with the help of Spanish Point. When you partner with us, you’ll get cloud solutions tailored to your needs with our first-hand Azure expertise and extensive industry knowledge, so you can be assured that you’re in the best hands.

Introducing SMART AIM

We’ve designed our SMART AIM (Application Innovation and Migration) to help streamline your transition to Microsoft Azure. Not only will you have access to our SMART AIM library, you will also have access to our methodology, which has been curated to assess, plan and manage your migration to the software.

You will also have access to an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD pipeline automation template pack when you choose our SMART AIM library. This template pack is also compatible with the most common Azure PaaS and laaS components, meaning it is reliable and can be used with ease helping save you time. 

Meet the SMART AIM Library

At Spanish Point, we have developed our SMART AIM library with the intention to provide you with a comprehensive collection of templates tailored for the Azure PaaS and laaS components, which are most commonly used in the music industry. It uses the most cost effective and expedited deployment process to streamline the integration and utilisation of Infrastructure as Code.

Here are the six core parts of the SMART AIM library and why you should invest in Spanish Point’s help now.

Defining your Infrastructure as Code

There is nothing more time consuming than manually configuring your cloud infrastructure, as it can lead to errors that can only be solved with dedication and patience. Through utilising IaC, you are decreasing the risk of mistakes while also lowering the cost through enhancing your cloud environments traceability, predictability and governance controls. Our SMART AIM library templates ensure seamless implementation, allowing you to focus on other projects that need your attention.

Set Up Azure Landing Zones

At Spanish Point, we’ve tailored our pre-built reference architecture templates for different workloads including serverless web application and data analytics. The templates allow you to be more innovative and modernise efficiently by integrating the best practices and proven methodologies by creating a scalable foundation for cloud management and development.

Establish Azure DevOps Pipelines

Our reference architectures have been custom-developed by our Azure Engineering Team, compromising configuration files with associated build and development (CI/CD) pipelines. We’ve tailored these pre-built reference architectures to deploy customer applications and infrastructure within Azure.

Implement Best Practice Methodologies

We aim to empower our customers when they are using our SMART AIM library. The best practice methodologies run throughout our library, allowing customers to deliver swiftly with heightened security and outcomes to mitigate mistakes.

Stay Up-to-Date Automatically

Our team are continually developing new functionalities to help make your experience of our SMART AIM library smoother and more efficient, and you will receive regular updates to notify you of our improvements. Our development teams create this custom code with reusable, automated scripts before adding them to the SMART AIM library and making them available to all licensed customers.

Access Expert Support and Consulting

At Spanish Point, we believe that our customers deserve hands-on support from our consultancy team, who can help you implement the SMART AIM library to suit your needs.
