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
22
5. Benefits of Managed Services
▸ Derisk operations
▸ Free up resources
▸ Benefit from the cloud without having to learn it
▸ Reduce operating cost
