Amazon Web Services

AWS design, migration, and operations with named owners: accounts, identity, cost, and workloads that stay accountable after cutover.

AWS designed for ownership

We structure AWS so accounts, access, and billing map to real owners, not a flat account nobody can defend in an audit or a board meeting.

Multi-account layouts and Organizations patterns that keep blast radius and cost readable
IAM, SSO, and least-privilege access with documented owners for critical roles
Networking, hybrid connectivity, and workload placement that fit how you operate
Cost allocation, budgets, and rightsizing so surprise spend is caught early

Migrate with a finish line, then operate

Cloud moves need a plan leadership can follow. Operations keep EC2, containers, data, and supporting services under a steady rhythm afterward.

Assessments and migration plans with milestones and clear cutover communication
Server, database, and application moves with rollback paths when risk requires them
Backup, recovery, and availability designed for the workloads that matter
Monitoring, patching, and change control for AWS resources we operate
Documentation and runbooks so the estate is not tribal knowledge

Where AWS work hands off

AWS work often pairs with day-to-day IT, deeper security, time-boxed projects, and fractional leadership when the ask expands.

AWS estates drift fast without an owner. We keep accounts, access, and spend visible to leadership long after the cutover is finished.

Project cadence

Honest, orderly project management keeps work on track. Milestones and owners get set before the work ramps up. Status reaches stakeholders before decisions pile up, and a scope change gets a conversation instead of a surprise invoice. AWS migrations and foundation builds use milestones and status checkpoints; ongoing operations keep a named owner in the retainer rhythm.

Plan
Milestones and owners agreed before the work starts moving.
Status
Regular updates — you should not have to chase us for a status report.
Decisions
Trade-offs get surfaced early so leadership can make the call, not discover it after.

Questions we hear first

Is AWS support the same as Managed IT?

No. AWS work here covers accounts, identity, migrations, cost, and cloud workloads. Managed IT is the broader day-to-day layer. Many clients run both so AWS and the rest of the estate stay under one operating rhythm.

Do you migrate into AWS, operate what we already have, or both?

Both. Time-boxed migrations and remediations often start under IT Consulting or a scoped AWS project, then hand into ongoing operations. If you already live in AWS and need steady ownership, we can engage without a full re-platform.

How is AWS work priced?

Projects are scoped with a clear start, finish, and deliverable set. Ongoing operations sit on predictable retainer terms for the resources and response we own. AWS consumption is separate; we help you see and govern that spend rather than hide it.

We also use Azure or Google Cloud. Can you work in a mixed estate?

Yes. Many Ohio organizations run more than one cloud. We scope each platform honestly and keep boundaries clear with Managed IT and Cybersecurity so monitoring and support do not fragment. Leadership alignment can sit under Fractional CIO/CISO when vendor and budget decisions need one seat.
