Customer Enablement Services
Complete your AWS projects faster with help from third-party AWS Certified experts.
Common use cases: hands-on assistance for short-term projects, learning about AWS, planning AWS projects, setting up AWS services, migrating to AWS, estimating and optimizing AWS spend
Example: With more than 15 million users, Anaconda provides a popular data science platform and a foundation of modern machine learning. Anaconda used AWS IQ to work with AWS Certified third-party experts. This shaved weeks off Anaconda’s high priority project and enabled them to deliver value for their customers sooner.
Infrastructure management and operation by AWS so you can reduce your operational overhead and risk and focus on your business applications.
Common use cases: move to and operate faster in AWS, ensure security and compliance in the cloud
Example: National Australia Bank migrated 30 applications to AWS in 50 days without needing internal cloud operations skills.
Specialized skills and experience to help you define and achieve results in the cloud.
Common use cases: digital transformation, large scale migrations for datacenter closure, innovative application development.
Example: Philips’ Healthcare Informatics Solutions and Services division worked with AWS Professional Services to build its HealthSuite digital platform. The platform analyzes and stores 15 PB of patient data gathered from 390 million imaging studies, medical records, and patients.
People, programs, and tools that go beyond reactive break-fix services to optimize your AWS environment.
Common use cases: issue resolution, cost and performance optimization, architectural guidance, planning and operational support for business-critical events
