AWS Well-Architected Review:
Built Right. Built to Last.

MFactory evaluates your AWS workloads against the six pillars of the Well-Architected Framework, identifies risks, and delivers a hands-on remediation plan — so your business runs securely, reliably, and cost-efficiently.

The Framework

What Is the AWS Well-Architected Framework?

A set of best practices developed by AWS to help organisations build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient cloud infrastructure.

MFactory conducts structured reviews using the official AWS Well-Architected Tool, working directly with your team to examine your workloads across all six pillars.

You receive a prioritised list of High Risk Items (HRIs) and Medium Risk Items (MRIs), each with specific, actionable remediation guidance — not just a report.

As an AWS Partner Network member with 15+ years of ICT experience, we don't just identify problems. We fix them alongside your team.

See how MFactory's managed hosting and Smart Desk solution transformed operations for Gwegwe Technologies.

Gwegwe Technologies
Case Study — Gwegwe Technologies

The Challenge

Gwegwe Technologies was experiencing slow IT support response times, a growing ticket backlog, and poor customer satisfaction scores. Their ICT infrastructure lacked the reliability and structure needed to support their growth.

They needed a cloud-hosted helpdesk solution and a reliable AWS infrastructure partner who could implement, support, and continuously improve their environment.

"The helpdesk transformed how we handle customer support. Our team is more efficient, and our customers get faster, more consistent service."
Xolani Lembede, CEO & Founder, Gwegwe Technologies

The Solution

MFactory deployed Smart Desk on AWS managed hosting, configured to Gwegwe's exact workflows. We then conducted a Well-Architected Review on the full environment, resolving 14 High Risk Items across security, reliability, and cost optimisation.

Post-remediation monitoring, automated backups, and proactive alerting were implemented as part of the ongoing managed services engagement.
