WHY CUSTOMERS ARE ADOPTING AWS

13

Increased ability to focus on mission has become an important reason organizations use the AWS cloud

14

Why does mission focus matter?

15

The hazards we face do not respect disciplinary or jurisdictional lines. The cloud enables collaborative ecosystems to manage collective risks

The explosion of data available to us challenges our ability to see priority information quickly. The cloud provides flexible and agile management of static and streaming data.

16

• How do I prioritize what to protect? (ports, transit systems, urban centers, mass gathering venues)

• What threats/hazards are most critical? (crime, storms, earthquakes, terrorism, industrial accidents)

• How can I gain visibility over what is going on? How do I share that visibility with others that need to know?

• How can I take advantage of all of my technology and personnel investments to see more broadly and act faster?

Mission need: what are State and local agencies asking?
