25. “We have a goal to reduce our infrastructure cost by $500,000/year with the AWS migration. The cost components that makes up the savings are:
1.Data center costs
2.Hardware lease costs
3.Software and software support
4.DR costs
We also will be able to free up about 1 FTE for new projects because we do not have to replace hardware every month, which contributes to agility. We also gain the ability to manage our infrastructure costs by the day.”
