AWS Experience-Based Acceleration: Migration, Modernisation and AI

The programme this is for

You have cloud ambition, capable engineers and executive backing. What you do not have is anything in production that proves the pattern.

So every initiative restarts as another proof of concept. Decisions wait on a forum that meets fortnightly. The team that owns the network does not report to the team that owns the workload, and neither owns the outcome. A year passes and the organisation has accumulated pilots instead of capability.

That is not a technology problem and no amount of architecture review fixes it. It is an organisational one, and the only thing that reliably breaks it is getting the right people in one room with their real workloads and not letting them leave until something runs.

What an Experience-Based Acceleration is

AWS's transformation methodology, delivered by Easycoder as an EBA Certified AWS Partner.

It is time-boxed, hands-on, and built around one principle that separates it from consulting: your engineers build, in your accounts, against your data. We are in the room with them, and so is AWS. Nobody hands you a deck at the end.

Phase 1: Planning and readiness

Four to six weeks before the event. We establish the backlog and prioritise it against business value, agree the target architecture, map the decisions and who makes them, and clear the access, identity, networking and data blockers that otherwise consume the first day of the build.

This phase is where EBAs are won or lost. An unprepared event becomes three days of credential requests.

Phase 2: The build event

Three days. Your engineers, Easycoder and AWS against the prioritised backlog, working on real workloads in your own accounts.

The output is working software, not a plan: deployed workloads, a documented set of design decisions with the reasoning retained, a blocker log of what got in the way and how it was resolved, and the measured before and after position on whatever the engagement set out to improve.

Phase 3: Scale

The ninety days after. The patterns the event proved become a repeatable delivery approach your own teams run: reference architecture, runbooks, infrastructure as code, guardrails and cost controls, and an agreed sequence for the remaining backlog.

The test of an EBA is not what happened in the three days. It is whether your teams delivered the next thing without us.

The three engagement types

Innovation. Prioritised AI and generative AI use cases taken to a path-to-production environment within 45 days, built on Amazon Bedrock with a shared retrieval layer, guardrails, evaluation harness and cost controls established during the engagement. Subsequent use cases land on a platform that already exists.

Modernization. A modernisation pathway assessment, applications or processes modernised during the event, and a prioritised view of which workloads to take next.

Migration. Two to three real workloads delivered to AWS, building the repeatable migration pattern and resolving the skilling, planning and execution gaps before they block the full programme.

Delivered from New Zealand

Easycoder delivers across New Zealand and Australia from Auckland, with production generative AI running on Amazon Bedrock and database platforms running on Amazon Aurora. Where data residency matters, we design for the AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region and document the exceptions where a dependency is not offered there, rather than leaving them undeclared.

How success is measured

The engagement sets its measures during planning, against a baseline taken before the event rather than estimated after it. Acceptance is the measured comparison, not an opinion, and it is written into the outcomes report alongside what was deployed and what remains.

Support

Enquiries through this listing are answered within two business days, with a scoping call and a written proposal. After purchase you get a named engagement lead, weekly status reporting through the planning phase, daily standups during the build event, and support during New Zealand business hours. Response targets by severity are in the statement of work attached to each offer.

Infrastructure costs

The engagement runs in your own AWS accounts. AWS charges for the services your workloads consume are billed by AWS directly to you, separately from the price of this engagement. Our access is through IAM roles with least-privilege policies that we document and hand over at the end.
