Crayon will further expand its automation and optimization capabilities, including IT portfolio assessment and architecture review, security review and strategy development, application migration planning, TCO analysis, application integration, deployment, migrations toolsets, and ongoing operations.
Crayon signed a new multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS. With AWS, Crayon will develop and offer solutions and services for migration and modernization of enterprise workloads like SAP, generating insights from data, automating processes by leveraging AWS’s machine learning capabilities.
Specifically, Crayon will further expand its automation and optimization capabilities, including IT portfolio assessment and architecture review, security review and strategy development, application migration planning, TCO analysis, application integration, deployment, migrations toolsets, and ongoing operations. Scaling its automation and optimization capabilities will help Crayon grow business opportunities in cloud efficiency, data maturity assessments, finance and operations, and governance.
Crayon will also build and accelerate its Managed Services Provider (MSP) practice with AWS by providing customers services to build, migrate, manage, operate, and optimize their AWS environments and infrastructure through a team of more than 20 managed services engineers. AWS and/or its affiliates will provide technical expertise and training to support Crayon’s next-generation MSP practice.
Crayon will develop solution accelerators – repeatable business assets to deliver value-added solutions for customers more efficiently – built on AWS, for commercial and public sector customers. Crayon will qualify these solution accelerators through the AWS Foundational Technical Review, guidelines for customers to reduce risks around security, reliability, and operational excellence, as defined by the AWS Well-Architected Framework. Crayon will make the solution accelerators available on the AWS Marketplace, a curated digital catalog that customers can use to find, buy, deploy, and manage third-party software, data, and services to build solutions and run their businesses.
As part of this strategic agreement, both Crayon and AWS will provide comprehensive consulting and technology services to support partners and customers migrating to AWS. Crayon will leverage the AWS Migration Acceleration Program, a comprehensive and proven cloud migration program based upon AWS’s experience on migrating thousands of enterprise customers to the cloud, to accelerate cloud transformation.
