The consolidation case depends on proving what can leave the stack without weakening investigation.
The CTO wants fewer vendors and procurement wants a defensible bill, while security protects its established workflow.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I need one answer for the outage review, not another tool debate after every incident.”
Nigist Maina · Director of DevOps
Leads the prospect’s AWS operations group and must defend the chosen incident workflow to engineering leadership.
What is at stake
A $450,000 opportunity is stalled because the prospect cannot agree which tools the platform can replace. You must weigh a broader consolidation case against security’s need to preserve its workflow.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- broad consolidation value vs. validated replacement scope
- procurement simplicity vs. platform expansion
- CTO vendor reduction vs. security workflow continuity
- Friday shortlist timing vs. executive confidence
