New AWS | Slalom Launch Centers will provide
customers with end-to-end cloud migration services, combining the
power of the AWS cloud with Slalom modern-based consulting
services
Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company
(NASDAQ:AMZN), and Slalom, announced a new multi-year, global,
strategic collaboration relationship, to build joint AWS | Slalom
Launch Centers (Launch Centers) that will accelerate customers’
migration to the cloud and help them modernize their IT services.
As part of the relationship, three Launch Centers will initially
open in Seattle, Chicago, and Atlanta with plans to open more
centers around the world within in the next three years. The Launch
Centers will help customers to accelerate their IT modernization
and migration strategies to achieve fully optimized, cloud based
operating models.
As enterprises embark on a journey to become cloud-native and
derive the business benefits from moving to the cloud, they must
transform not only their workforce, processes, and operating model,
but also modernize critical applications in their portfolios while
retiring technical debt. Migrating and moving workloads to the
cloud from legacy data centers can be complex and time intensive,
as enterprises typically do not have the required technical
resources or expertise to handle the transition, and they need to
focus their resources on driving their core businesses. To help
solve this, the Launch Centers uniquely combine AWS Professional
Services, a global team of AWS experts who help customers reach
their desired outcomes with the cloud, with Slalom business
transformation, software engineering, and analytics capabilities to
address these customer transformations. Mutual AWS and Slalom
customers can temporarily relocate their IT teams to work from
designated Launch Centers, to reap the benefits of working directly
with experts in a secure, immersive, collaborative environment that
enables a culture of innovation and learning.
The Launch Centers will provide a variety of offerings,
including expediting customers’ initial digital launches to the AWS
Cloud, and a customized approach to scale their competencies and
processes for the future on AWS. The AWS and Slalom
multi-disciplinary experts can deliver a comprehensive path to the
cloud, taking customers through a series of steps, from defining
their business strategies and building their cloud migration
roadmaps, to optimizing their move to the cloud and implementing a
modernized approach for ongoing operational excellence. They will
also guide customers through business rationalization and
organizational change management, as well as help them to overcome
technical readiness concerns, by providing training on how to
manage their infrastructure.
“For more than a decade, we’ve been collaborating with AWS and
have supported their vision, betting the future of Slalom on the
cloud,” said Mike Cowden, President of Slalom Build. “Our expanded
relationship with AWS is a differentiated approach to building and
operating solutions on the cloud, helping our customers experience
the value of modern technology first-hand while accelerating
business outcomes.”
“Enterprises are looking to achieve their target business
outcomes faster by transitioning to a modern, optimized,
cloud-based model,” said Todd Weatherby AWS VP of Professional
Services. “The AWS | Slalom Launch Centers (Launch Centers) will
help enterprises around the world to transition their
organizations, processes, applications, and infrastructure quickly,
using best practices and a unique, immersive experience. The Launch
Centers offer enterprises the tools to make the transition to the
cloud, with the confidence of having Slalom’s proven consulting and
technical skills and AWS’s leading cloud services and migration
experience supporting them.”
LG Electronics Inc. is a global innovator in technology and
manufacturing with operations in 140 locations and a workforce of
over 70,000 around the world. “Slalom is a great partner with deep
expertise building cloud native systems on AWS,” said Sang Yeob
Park, LG CNS Build Center Leader. “Working together with Slalom in
their immersive model helps businesses leverage the cloud to
realize and accelerate a digital first strategy.”
Avis Budget Group is a leading global provider of mobility
solutions, operating three of the most recognized brands in the
industry through Avis, Budget, and Zipcar, the world’s leading
car-sharing network. “Once you get both feet into this kind of an
offering, you feel, for the first time, like you are limitless,”
says Christopher Cerruto, Vice President of Global Architecture,
Analytics and BI at Avis Budget Group, “Business is driving the
decisions and technology is helping us get there quickly. The
Slalom team was instrumental in helping us build on AWS.”
