Executive Summary
VAVETEK AI is a SaaS startup building AI Copilots for the construction industry. The platform helps building developers, consultants, and turnkey contractors audit, optimize, and accelerate engineering and construction design processes using Artificial Intelligence and Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination.
As VAVETEK’s customer base grew and AI workloads became more demanding, the company needed a cloud foundation that could support global operations across multiple regions. Teleglobal International partnered with VAVETEK to execute a full GCP to AWS migration and build a secure, multi-region AWS Landing Zone spanning three continents. The project delivered a production-ready cloud platform aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework, with multi-account governance, centralized security monitoring, and a predictable cost model at USD 33,484.80 per year.

Background
VAVETEK AI develops AI-powered solutions for the construction and building design industry. The platform automates project workflows, improves BIM coordination, enhances decision-making, and supports sustainability initiatives by optimizing energy usage and building performance. The company’s AI Copilots help organizations create high-performance, economically viable, and environmentally responsible buildings while reducing construction costs and project delivery timelines.
VAVETEK was running its infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform. The platform worked for the company’s early stage, but as customer adoption picked up across different geographies, the limitations became clear. The team needed a cloud platform that could deliver high availability across multiple regions, tighter governance over engineering and construction data, clear environment separation, and a scalable foundation for growing AI and machine learning workloads.
The decision to migrate was not just about switching providers. VAVETEK needed an AWS Landing Zone for SaaS companies that could serve as the long-term foundation for global expansion, compliance readiness, and operational excellence.
The Challenge
VAVETEK faced a set of infrastructure and governance challenges that would limit growth if left unaddressed.
GCP to AWS Migration
The company had production workloads running on Google Cloud Platform. Migrating to AWS required careful planning to maintain business continuity, minimize downtime, and keep customer-facing services and project data accessible throughout the transition.
Global Scalability
VAVETEK’s customers operate across North America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. The platform needed to serve these regions with low latency, high availability, and consistent performance. A single-region deployment was no longer sufficient.
Environment Segregation and Governance
There was no clear separation between development, production, audit, and log archive environments. Engineering models, project information, and customer data were flowing through the platform without the governance controls needed for auditability and compliance readiness.
Security Visibility and Operational Standardization
The company lacked centralized security monitoring, threat detection, and auditing across accounts. Without a standardized cloud operating model, configurations varied across environments, creating security gaps and increasing manual operational overhead.
The Solution
Teleglobal designed and deployed a secure, multi-region AWS Landing Zone with a multi-account governance model. This project was delivered as part of Teleglobal’s AWS cloud migration services and AWS CloudOps services.
AWS Landing Zone with Multi-Region Deployment
A production-ready AWS Landing Zone was set up using AWS Control Tower. Three AWS regions were selected based on customer geography, performance requirements, and business continuity objectives:
- North Virginia (us-east-1) for primary workloads and North American customers
- Asia Pacific Singapore (ap-southeast-1) for Asia Pacific coverage and low-latency access
- Middle East UAE (me-central-1) for Middle Eastern customers and regional data requirements
This multi-region approach gave VAVETEK global reach with region-specific performance, data locality options, and built-in redundancy.
Multi-Account Architecture
Four dedicated AWS accounts were provisioned to create clear security boundaries and workload isolation:
- Production: Live customer-facing AI platform and BIM coordination services
- Development: Testing, staging, and feature development
- Audit: Centralized security findings and compliance assessments
- Log Archive: Immutable, long-term storage of operational and security logs
This structure reduced the blast radius of any incident, simplified access management, and aligned the environment with AWS cloud security best practices.
GCP to AWS Migration Approach
Teleglobal followed a structured cloud migration methodology to move VAVETEK’s workloads from GCP to AWS:
- Infrastructure discovery and assessment to catalog all workloads, services, and dependencies
- Dependency mapping to identify interdependencies between AI services, databases, and integrations
- Migration planning with timelines, risk mitigation, and rollback strategies
- Execution using AWS Migration Hub, Application Migration Service (MGN), Database Migration Service (DMS), and DataSync
- Validation testing after each phase to confirm functionality and performance
- Security hardening with encryption standards, access controls, and network policies
- Post-migration optimization to right-size resources and address performance gaps
Security Controls and Governance
A layered security approach was implemented across all accounts and regions, following cloud governance and compliance best practices:
- Preventive controls using AWS Control Tower guardrails and SCPs to restrict public resource exposure, enforce encryption, limit privileged operations, and block non-compliant configurations
- Detective controls through AWS Config and Security Hub for continuous resource compliance monitoring, configuration drift detection, and security posture assessment
- Centralized logging via dedicated Audit and Log Archive accounts for long-term retention, security investigations, compliance reporting, and incident response
- Identity and access management through IAM Identity Center with least privilege, role-based permissions, federated access, and centralized administration
Security Monitoring and Threat Detection
Centralized monitoring and governance capabilities were deployed across all AWS accounts and regions. This provided visibility into security events, enabled proactive threat detection, supported compliance monitoring, and gave the operations team a unified view of the environment’s health.
AWS Cost Optimization
The migration delivered clear cost benefits through infrastructure consolidation and governance. Teleglobal’s AWS cost optimization services helped VAVETEK achieve a predictable, scalable spending model.
| Cost Metric | Amount |
| Monthly AWS Cost | USD $2,786.65 |
| Annual AWS Cost | USD $33,484.80 |
Key cost benefits included consolidation of workloads into a centrally governed AWS environment, improved resource utilization, reduced operational overhead through automation, better visibility into cloud spending, improved scalability without overprovisioning, and standardized operations across all three AWS regions.
