Case Study: Zimbani achieves rapid, accurate AWS architecture diagrams and real-time collaboration with Lucidchart

Zimbani - Customer Case Study

Zimbani, a mid‑sized Australian IT and security consultancy, relies on Managing Director Chris Lamont‑Smith to map clients’ current architectures so he can recommend improvements. Creating clear, consistent diagrams—especially AWS network views—was essential but slow and error‑prone using Visio and manually sourced assets, making it harder to capture detailed system relationships and visualize future states quickly.

By switching to Lucidchart, Chris gained premade templates, an up‑to‑date AWS shape library and an AWS import feature that auto‑generates network diagrams with metadata, plus drag‑and‑drop editing and real‑time sharing. The result: diagrams are created about twice as fast, visuals stay consistent across devices, collaboration with clients is seamless, and Zimbani now relies exclusively on Lucidchart to speed design, reduce errors, and communicate solutions.
