We recognized that we were spending a lot of time, energy, effort and management bandwidth to create infrastructure that already exists out there in a much better state and is evolving at a furious pace

5 reasons to migrate your apps to AWSYes, AWS not Azure or Google Cloud

15

1. Reduced Cost

▸ Infrastructure costs are

typically high

▸ Cloud infrastructure

vendors transfer

wholesale savings to their

customers

16

“Our clients’ AWS

Costs are forecasted

to drop over time

freeing more budget

for strategic initiatives”

2. Flexibility and Scalability

▸ Hardware provisioning typically

takes weeks and has a direct

impact on revenue

▸ AWS allows for elastic

infrastructure scalability

resulting in increased flexibility

and efficiency

17

“With AWS’ APIs we are

able to manage all

aspects of our

hardware footprint in

minutes!”

3. Increased Security & Reduced Risk

▸ Security robustness is extremely

critical with hacking on the rise

(but it’s also very expensive).

▸ AWS takes that burden off your

shoulders cheaply and provides

one of the best risk mitigation

options out there

18

“Having the peace of

mind that thousands of

companies with stricter

security requirements

than us use AWS is

priceless.”

4. Freeing up IT Resources to Focus on Strategic Projects

▸ IT leaders are realizing that their time is better spent on

strategic initiatives that benefit their organization

▸ Outsourcing managed services is becoming the

defacto standard solution to this problem

▸ Job security concerns are real and must be dealt with

early on

19

But … it’s not all roses20

Challenges

▸ AWS provides a great alternative for managing

infrastructure

▸ But it’s on you to manage the applications and provide

maintenance as well as SLAs to business sponsors

▸ Luckily there is a great solution for that, and it’s called

Managed Services Providers

21

Why organizations are turning to MSPs

5. Benefits of Managed Services

▸ Derisk operations

▸ Free up resources

▸ Benefit from the cloud without having to learn it

▸ Reduce operating cost

▸ Application support
