Case Study: Observian achieves rapid cloud visibility and faster architecture design with Lucidchart Cloud Insights

Observian uses Lucidchart Cloud Insights to coordinate across teams in order to design new and optimized AWS, GCP, and Azure cloud solutions for customers.

Observian is a small cloud consulting firm that helps customers with cloud migration, security, cost optimization, and architecture across AWS, GCP, and Azure. They struggled to quickly and accurately understand clients’ often-outdated cloud diagrams, which made discovery slow, increased professional services time, concentrated knowledge in a few people, and hampered onboarding and project delivery.

By adopting Lucidchart Cloud Insights, Observian can auto-generate metadata-backed cloud diagrams, create filtered views for specific infrastructure concerns, and use those diagrams throughout a lifecycle of discovery, design, approval, implementation, and verification. The change cut diagram creation from four–seven hours to under 15 minutes, improved visibility and team alignment, reduced “tribal knowledge” risk, sped onboarding, and helped Observian deliver faster, more transparent, and more reliable cloud solutions.
