Migration Readiness and Planning (MRP) Application Migrations

Rigorous and formal AWS program that sets the bar for partner migration
capabilities and best practice (consulting and technology). Further detail
can be seen at https://aws.amazon.com/partners/competencies/
Migration Delivery Partners must have
• At least advanced level AWS consulting partner
• 30 AWS certifications and at least 20 certified consultants or more
• 10 professional level certifications
• Current Managed Services or DevOps Competency
• 5 or more migration case studies (2 public)
• Established AWS migration practice
• Audited annually against the Managed Services/DevOps Competency
AWS Partner Network Migration Competency

Migrated over 5,500 instances in 9 months, reduced storage
costs 50%, compute costs 20%, and sped up provisioning
by 10x (4 weeks to 2 days).
AWS Migration Competency
Consulting partners

Assessed and decommissioned data center,
and migrated and managed their workloads
on AWS. Reduced global footprint and saved over
60% in IT infrastructure costs.
Migrated mission critical application,
saving 30% and nearly $12.9MM
over the next few years.
Consulting partners

70% of applications and databases migrated to AWS
1.4TB of data migrated from SQL Server to AWS RDS
Push-button build and deployment
End-to-end automation with Amazon EC2, Amazon Lambda,
AWS CloudFormation, Amazon S3, Amazon SQS, and others
Better cost transparency due to improved tagging
Improved agility and business capabilities
Consulting partners

Migrated data center by re-hosting 65% of the applications
re-platforming 35%. All shared services and enterprise
applications were moved to AWS and ownership handed
over to the business application owners.
