Unfortunately, however, many “traditional” MSPs continue to hold their customers back. 2nd Watch, Cloudreach, Accenture, Infosys, Wipro, REAN Cloud, 8K Miles, Bulletproof, Cloud Technology Partners, Logicworks, Minjar, and Rackspace are just a few of the MSPs who have committed to helping their customers reinvent their business using the cloud ( click here for a complete list of validated AWS MSP Partners).

This is true, regardless of what type of business you’re in, and I spend a lot of time trying to help both customers and managed services providers (MSPs) through this journey.Īs I wrote in the Future of Managed Services in the Cloud, many MSPs are well out in front of this curve. More specifically, these companies - and the thousands of enterprises who share this common resolve - are using the cloud to offload much of the undifferentiated heavy lifting traditionally associated with enterprise IT so they can focus more resources on delivering value to their customers.Ĭonstant reinvention isn’t easy, and most executives I speak to agree that it’s a journey that takes time and deliberate effort. Companies like GE, Capital One, News Corp, and Netflix are committed to constantly reinventing themselves, and they’re increasingly turning to the cloud as a means to do so. It’s hard for large organizations to keep up with the pace of technology evolution, and I’ve come to admire those who have repeatedly proven that they’re strong enough to survive. “You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” - Andre Gide
