AC3 has been identified as a Leader in ISG’s Provider Lens™ evaluation for AWS Ecosystem Partners Quadrant Report for AWS Managed Services, AWS Migration Services and AWS Consulting Services - December 2021.
AWS Managed Services
ISG states that the AWS Managed Services quadrant “highlights the current market positioning of these providers and how they address the key challenges of offering managed services in the AWS ecosystem. ISG’s assessment is based on the depth and breadth of providers’ service offerings and market presence.”
The report stated “The role and value of managed service providers (MSPs) have been rapidly expanding into areas traditionally referred to as systems integration. The impact of COVID-19 on cloud adoption and integration requirements has pushed MSPs farther into the traditional role of a system integrator. In response, MSPs are investing in more skills, expanding their roles with AWS, and acquiring more technology and tools providers.”
AWS Migration Services
The AWS Migration Services quadrant covers the AWS partners that “offer technology, products or services that support workload operation and migration.”
ISG states “Top providers in this quadrant excel in automated test, migration and deployment, and typically work closely with clients for needs and readiness assessments and continuous change management. Typical leader skills and expertise include software architecture, software development (including DevOps), application and workload migration and modernisation, and related consulting and technological capabilities to build, enable and support robust, scalable applications and services.”
The report states that “with the growth of digital business, many enterprises with major applications are unable to adapt quickly to the changing business environment that includes a global move towards modernising traditional software environments. COVID-19 catalysed this transformation, with many enterprises moving most of their applications into AWS and other hyperscale platforms. The ubiquity of affordable and adaptable container technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker has further accelerated interest and investment by enterprises and services providers.”
AWS Consulting Services
ISG highlights “the current market positioning of AWS consulting providers in Australia and how they address the key challenges in the region” in the AWS Consulting Services quadrant.
The report states “Enterprises have been hesitant to transform their cloud ecosystem due to difficulties in measuring the workloads, shortage of skilled professionals and uncertainties about integration of the legacy infrastructure”. The report goes on to say “The focus on long-term application modernisation has been spiking comparisons between providers in the lift-and-shift models for legacy systems they offer”
