The Challenge

As a result of divestiture, this major content analytics company required a detailed plan to operationalize their existing AWS cloud footprint outside of former parent company.

It also needed to develop a plan to exit the on-premises infrastructure footprint managed by previous owners. They needed to partner with somebody who can help with its data centers migrations, IT operations and management.

"We want to be internal enablers and cloud advocates, to provide meaningful help and support without being the ones who delay or block adoption of cloud services. Let's get stuff done and get out of the way of smart people who onboard on their cloud journeys. Also, we don't want to be featured in the media for some security breaches or other unwanted negative press, so let's do it by the book, no cut corners."
