The AWS Managed Service Provider (MSP) program validates AWS Partners with a proven track record and experience, providing end-to-end AWS solutions to customers at any stage of the cloud journey, including planning and design, building and migration, operations and support, and automation and optimization.

TinkerList provides an online collaborative script and rundown tool called Cuez for broadcasters, live event organizers, and esports companies. Users require high availability and low latency, but the company found that maintaining its existing infrastructure to such a high standard was proving difficult. TinkerList turned to AWS and AWS Premier Partner Cloudar to migrate to the cloud for improved performance, reliability, and faster development time. Now it no longer needs to provision systems for peak capacity but can scale automatically as demand changes. Compute costs are now tied to usage, so expenditure is more predictable and linked to revenue.
WeEn Semiconductors, based in Shanghai, China, has a history of developing and manufacturing semiconductors that goes back over 50 years. The company separated from NXP Semiconductors in 2015 but continued to develop a full portfolio of products. WeEn Semiconductors was running its business-critical SAP and order management systems from an on-premises data center, but the facility was experiencing regular power outages that caused both its internal staff and its partners problems when using essential systems. The company worked with Atos, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner to migrate and deploy all business-critical applications, including SAP, to the cloud. The migration to AWS has eliminated downtime, improved security, and enhanced the company’s backup and disaster recovery systems. It also reduced infrastructure costs by 30 percent.

After onboarding AWS Partner Onica and leveraging AWS, Whisker was able to process several million messages and events from its connected robots per day. Whisker now delivers some of the richest insights available in pet tech while scaling responsibly and accelerating prototype time.
