Amazon Web Services
The largest catalog, the most services, the most flexibility. AWS is the cloud platform for organizations with complex applications, specific requirements, or a deliberate multi-cloud strategy. No other platform offers the same breadth, which makes choosing AWS both powerful and demanding.
What is AWS?
Amazon's cloud platform, the global market leader with more than two hundred services and data centers in thirty-plus regions, including several in Europe.
The role of AWS in your IT landscape
AWS fulfills the role in the IT landscape of the platform for specific or wide-ranging workloads: from simple storage to complex AI/ML applications via services such as SageMaker and Bedrock, with granular control over which region data is processed in. For organizations with broad or highly diverse technical requirements, or with a deliberate multi-cloud strategy, this is a role few other platforms can fulfill 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 as standard. That ensures the environment is secure and manageable from the very first moment, regardless of what gets built on it later.
- Our approach is cloud-native: we design applications to make optimal use of AWS's scalability and resilience, via containers or the platform's managed services. Management is proactive and automated, with monitoring that flags anomalies before they cause disruption. Cost optimization is structurally built into our management process, through continuous analysis of usage 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 customers 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 organization already works with Microsoft 365, Entra ID or SQL Server. AWS is stronger for organizations that need a broad catalog, high flexibility, or specific services 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 level from the start.
Can you also take over an existing AWS environment?
Yes. We carry out an assessment of the existing setup, map out improvement points in architecture, security and cost, and take over management. We phase out any running contracts with other parties together with you, in a planned and controlled way.
