The Azumo Deep Dive

A Pre-Kickoff Technical and Strategic Review

Before kickoff, we sit down with you to dive into your project and learn your true north. Our VP of Engineering, CTO, and senior technical leads conduct a full review of your stack, goals, and challenges. We want to understand not just you need built, but you’re outsourcing, what constraints you’re working under, and what long-term success looks like for you and your team.

This is more than a surface-level intake. It’s a deep technical alignment session that ensures the right architecture, tools, and people are in place before a commit is made.

Once we understand your needs, we propose a solution. But we don’t stop there. At kickoff, we introduce the full Azumo support layer, which includes our VP of Engineering and CTO for senior-level oversight, a Technical Lead if one isn't assigned, a Project Manager, and a Customer Success Manager who quarterbacks success to get ahead of potential risks and surfaces insights throughout the engagement.
