2

Support the day-to-day operations of an expansive, multi-account, and multi-region AWS cloud environment.

3

Manage a complex hybrid networking architecture.

4

Improve SLAs for incident response and service management.

Specialized support team: Deployed a dedicated team of engineers to fine-tune network components (firewalling, east-west, and north-south traffic), onboard third-party vendors and customers, and deliver value-added network improvements.

Strategic value-add: Our cloud architects worked closely with the client’s enterprise architecture team to identify opportunities to improve existing artifacts or innovate.
