Slalom Build News

AWS | Slalom Launch Centers will provide customers with end-to-end cloud migration services, combining the power of AWS Professional Services with Slalom technology building and consulting services. Three Launch Centers will initially open in Seattle, Chicago, and Atlanta with plans to open more centers around the world within in the next three years. The Launch Centers will help customers accelerate their IT modernization and migration strategies to achieve fully optimized, cloud-based operating models.

“In the world we work in today, you have to have proximity to the problem that you’re trying to solve,” said Mike Cowden, president of Slalom Build. “So we try to get as close as we can to our customers and create long-term relationships, just like our customers are creating with these new modern technologies.”

First we were told that every company will become a technology company. Then the tides shifted to every company will become a DevOps company. Now the zeitgeist has a new obsession: Every company will become a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) company.

Amazon Web Services Inc. wants to help educate businesses on how to go about migrating to its public cloud infrastructure, and it’s tapping the expertise of technology firm Slalom to aid it in that endeavor.

President Mike Cowden of Slalom Build joins theCUBE to talk about why every organization needs to be cloud reborn.

Amazon Web Services and Slalom will open joint Launch Centers to help accelerate enterprise customers’ cloud migrations and modernize their information technology services. This is the first time AWS and Slalom’s customers will have the experience of working with them at the same time, in the same location, solving the same problem, says Michael Cowden, president of Slalom Build.

Relying heavily on partners like Slalom, AWS CEO Andy Jassy aims to keep the cloud giant at the top of the computing pyramid by adding more technology services, lowering costs for customers, and expanding its commitment to the company’s fast-growing AWS Partner Network.
