When you migrate to the cloud, you give your business the advantage of increased agility by lowering the time to build, deploy, and maintain applications that can automatically scale to the needs of the workload.

It is a long-term investment that will help you grow your business and make IT part of your business success and differentiation.

AWS cloud solutions are optimized to suit your specific migration needs. With more experience than any other provider across company sizes and industries, the AWS approach is to use data-driven analysis to plan a migration that exactly meets your business needs.

AWS can move any workload—applications, websites, databases, storage, physical or virtual servers—and supports all frameworks and languages, all processor types, and all operating systems.

Yes! Working with AWS gives you access to all of our experience working with large enterprises, including security, reliability, and resiliency. We then meet you where you are to provide you with service and support specific to your needs. Cooperating funding programs with our certified partners can also help you get going quickly. 

AWS uses a data-driven approach to ensure you have all of the information you need to right-size a solution for your specific business needs. 

  • Assess. A migration assessment and discovery process provide you with projected costs and savings estimates within hours to build business justification for your migration project.
  • Support. Having the right team to help you can be the difference between meeting or missing your goals. Experts help anticipate challenges and leverage learning over many migrations to ensure you get the results you expect.
  • Proof of concept. AWS will help you develop a proof of concept to plan and visualize the steps to make your migration happen as quickly and affordably as possible. Part of this effort will be evaluating the skill needs of your team and ensuring you will have ready access to the training and support you need to realize the most from your cloud migration.
  • Migrate. Often fully automated, migration doesn’t require making changes to your current workloads. You can then update and future-proof at your own pace by adopting cloud-native technologies where it makes sense to fully realize the benefits of the cloud transition, reducing operational costs as applications are re-envisioned and become managed cloud services.
