Cloud – Partnering or Going Solo?

The decision has been made to move resources to the cloud, migrate certain data, or just create backups. Should you open an account with AWS and manage it yourself, or is it better to find a partner? What does it really mean to “partner in the cloud”? What benefits come with such a collaboration?

Why should you choose a partner?

1. Experience and Industry Knowledge

Cloud partners have extensive experience in delivering projects across various industries, which allows them to implement best practices, use appropriate technologies, and adapt solutions to the latest trends. Additionally, their ongoing professional development, acquiring certifications and specializations, gives them an edge in advising on cloud-related matters.

2. Tailored Approach to Your Needs

Before starting a project with a partner, you have the opportunity to consult your specific needs, challenges, and business goals. This ensures that the cloud will be designed to fully meet the requirements of your organization. A detailed assessment of your current IT infrastructure may also be necessary, which will help in proposing the optimal solution and facilitating its subsequent implementation.

3. Reduced Project Timelines

Thanks to the experience of cloud partners, the time required to implement cloud solutions is significantly shortened. Their knowledge of proven methods and tools enables quick and efficient project delivery, which leads to faster benefits from the cloud investment.

4. Support at Every Stage

AWS partners offer support throughout the entire process, from implementation to post-deployment. They also provide training and workshops for your team, enabling the development of internal competencies and fully utilizing the potential of the cloud.

5. Cost Optimization

Cloud partners are experts in optimizing cloud-related costs. They will help you select the right services, analyze your current infrastructure, and implement best practices to maximize cost efficiency when using cloud resources. They can also monitor and manage your infrastructure to avoid unnecessary expenses.

6. Access to Innovation and the Latest Technologies

You don’t need to stay up to date with the latest technologies and innovations on your own. Cloud partners are always aware of the latest updates and changes, allowing them to quickly implement cutting-edge technologies, giving your company a competitive advantage.

7. Risk Reduction

Partnering with an experienced provider reduces the risk associated with cloud migration. Cloud partners have the expertise to foresee potential issues and avoid them. Additionally, they have access to funding, enabling them to test solutions without the risk of high costs before final implementation.

Partnering with a Cloud Provider Means Many Benefits

As you can see, collaborating with a cloud partner offers numerous advantages. This allows companies to fully leverage the potential of the cloud while focusing on their primary business objectives.
