Skypunch Technology has been building secure, high-performance cloud applications since 2002. The same expertise behind our flagship online voting system is also available for your organization through dedicated Amazon Web Services (AWS) consulting.
Whether you’re planning a migration, optimizing an existing AWS environment, or simply exploring the benefits of the cloud, Skypunch brings real-world experience, AWS-certified professionals, and a pragmatic approach to every engagement.
What is Amazon Web Services?
Amazon Web Services is widely regarded as the world’s leading cloud provider. It is the platform on which the Skypunch voting software runs, but it also powers the world’s most recognizable brands—including that of its parent company, Amazon.
Services Offered
Providing consulting services focused on AWS means helping organizations:
- Transition their IT infrastructure from a legacy environment into AWS
Organizations in legacy data centers, or perhaps even another cloud provider may be looking either to be coached through the process, or have the migration done for them. Migrate with confidence as Skypunch helps you plan and execute a smooth transition from legacy infrastructure to AWS—minimizing downtime and ensuring your workloads are cloud-ready from day one. - Audit and optimize an existing AWS environment
Audit and optimize can mean different things for different clients ranging from optimizing for performance, scalability, durability, or security, but will most typically involve some combination of the all. - Recognize the value of cloud computing
Perhaps a client is only now considering a migration into a cloud environment, but needs assistance making the case to management why the investment is worth it. - Anything else that has to do with AWS.
Qualifications
Within the Skypunch orbit is a network of developers and architects that have done consulting work their entire careers and earned AWS certifications along the way. Regarded within the industry as some of the most in-demand and challenging certifications to earn, Skypunch has the following in permanent residency with others available when needed:
- AWS Cloud Practitioner
- AWS Solutions Architect
- AWS SysOps Adminitrator
- AWS Security Specialist
And sometimes the best person for a consulting role may not be certified by AWS at all, but would still be brought in if needed and under the supervision of someone who is so that clients get both someone who has the necessary experience and expertise in a specialized area, plus someone who’s ensuring adherence to the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
Scope of Comfort
An organization looking to engage a large team of developers, full-time on a years-long consulting project, is not likely a good fit for Skypunch. Given the commitment to the voting solution, Skypunch is better positioned for focused, high-impact AWS engagements—perfect for organizations that need expert guidance without the scale (or cost) of a large consultancy.
If looking for a consultant to augment your existing IT staff and help you get through some specific, short-term projects without charging the New York-, DC- or San Francisco-type hourly rate, reach out to Skypunch and let’s talk. You may also find useful the blog posts dedicated to Tech Tips.
