Amazon Web Services
The largest catalogue, the most services, the most flexibility. AWS is the cloud platform for organisations with complex applications, specific requirements or a deliberate multi-cloud strategy. No other platform offers the same breadth, which makes choosing AWS as powerful as it is demanding.
What is AWS?
Amazon's cloud platform, the global market leader with more than two hundred services and data centres in thirty-plus regions, including several in Europe.
The role of AWS in your IT landscape
In the IT landscape, AWS fills the role of the platform for specific or highly varied workloads: from simple storage to complex AI/ML applications through services like SageMaker and Bedrock, with granular control over which region data is processed in. For organisations with broad or widely varying technical requirements, or with a deliberate multi-cloud strategy, that's a role few other platforms can fill at the same scale and maturity.
Our approach with AWS
- We start with an AWS Landing Zone: a pre-designed, automated baseline environment with accounts, network segmentation, logging and governance built in as standard. That ensures the environment is secure and manageable from the very first moment, whatever gets built on it later.
- Our approach is cloud-native: we design applications to make optimal use of AWS's scalability and resilience, through containers or the platform's managed services. Management is proactive and automated, with monitoring that flags deviations before they cause disruption. Cost optimisation is a structural part of our management process, through continuous usage analysis and adjusting capacity to actual demand.
- For multi-cloud environments, where Azure and AWS are used in parallel, we ensure a consistent approach to security, governance and monitoring across both platforms. As an Advanced Consulting Partner, that gives our clients the assurance of a partner with demonstrable expertise.

FAQ
When do you recommend AWS, and when Azure?
Azure is often the first choice when an organisation already works with Microsoft 365, Entra ID or SQL Server. AWS is the stronger choice for organisations that need a broad catalogue, high flexibility, or specific services that Azure doesn't (yet) offer. In multi-cloud environments, we deploy both platforms based on each one's strengths.
How do you ensure security in an AWS environment?
We work secure-by-design: the Landing Zone we start with already includes the right network segmentation, access management, logging via AWS CloudTrail, and monitoring via AWS Security Hub or Microsoft Sentinel. Our own standard configurations ensure every new environment meets a high security standard from day one.
Can you also take over an existing AWS environment?
Yes. We carry out an assessment of the existing setup, identify improvement points around architecture, security and cost, and take over management. We phase out contracts with other parties together with you, in a planned way.
