How can you avoid billing surprises?
Among the many famous lines of Jeff Bezos, there is one that now makes complete sense: “it is always the right time to innovate”. In 2017, the point is to innovate in order to stay competitive! Indeed, in the current economic and competitive context, it is more than time to accelerate experiments and the launch of innovative projects.
Hosting, compute, archiving…Undeniably, the AWS Cloud services are the ones that allow the greatest number of experiments, by virtue of their power and their comprehensiveness (leader of the 2016 Gartner Magic Quadrant for 6 years).
But, despite a “pay per use” philosophy and investment devoted to accelerating the innovations of its clients, the pricing of AWS can be surprising and the road to being accredited and mastering the full set of offerings remains a long one.
Technical teams often experiment with their projects on AWS “blithely”. Yet, before experimenting, it is essential to guarantee an R.O.I to management and shareholders, by setting up an opportunity study (Proof of Concept, return on investment…). Moving to the AWS Cloud is not something you improvise ! To obtain a financial gain, transferring your existing estate on a like-for-like basis is not enough.
To reach the objectives of the Build
When you know that maintenance and operating costs are very often higher than design costs, when you know the often stormy relations between build and run teams, comparable to those between the police and the gendarmerie: you had better be certain that your PoC holds up!
Premaccess means 10 years of experience in Cloud services, hundreds of complex IT architecture projects delivered to extremely tight deadlines and budgets, weekends and sleepless nights watching over migrations with one obsession: business continuity for its clients, with no service interruption at all.
It also and above all means passionate IT experts who did not wait for the DevOps movement to support the technical teams of its clients day to day “in hub mode”.
Trained in the “Falco methods”: they are already accredited on AWS environments with specialisations in Big Data and IoT.
To anticipate the constraints of the Run
To be able to move the project into production with peace of mind, you do have to anticipate the constraints of the Run, but also not stay focused on purely IT aspects: you have to take all the business challenges into account.
Managed services at Premaccess are the guarantee, through SLAs, of operational upkeep and of premium, tailor-made availability.
Finally, it means being able to benefit from clear, sound billing matched to your real needs and to the way AWS works.
But above all, so as not to be left out in the wild afterwards
Beyond being supported on the public Cloud of AWS, why do without a partner who will have taken the time to absorb your business contexts and the challenges of your market?
To make sure of steady growth, you have every interest in setting up an IT governance body, involving your Build and Run teams but also “spin doctors” who understand and anticipate the needs of your marketing, sales and finance departments.
Premaccess supports its clients over the long term, in a genuine partnership relationship. 90% of our long-standing clients are still with us because they recognise that our methods benefit them, and that in “hard cash” terms!
What is IT governance by Premaccess? In a few words, it consists of guaranteeing a smooth experience for the end user and answering more easily the needs for change and the business challenges, in order to rationalise the client’s investments.
So why does AWS trust Premaccess?
AWS found 3 shared values in the DNA of Premaccess:
- An agile player that knows how to put people at the heart of the business and the business concerns of users at the heart of its methodologies…
- A multiplicity of expertise across various sensitive sectors in full revolution such as finance, healthcare and retail.
- A “startup spirit” which shows in a knowledge of the “disruptive” ecosystem of tech startups…
- Choosing Premaccess to migrate to the AWS Cloud means making sure you have a human-sized provider, available, with a “premium” close-support approach and sharing the challenges of its clients on a daily basis.
In summary:
The AWS universe is like a woman, irresistible but complex, you have to master it perfectly before diving in and benefiting from it in an ROI-driven way.
And, as the proverb goes, “a man without a woman does not last the winter”, it is impossible to stay competitive without the AWS Cloud, so, while waiting for an article on the subject: see Premaccess as a seduction coach.
So what are you waiting for to innovate with us?
