We're thrilled to announce that EPI-USE Services for AWS, a Group Elephant company, has achieved AWS Premier Partner status. This elite certification represents AWS's highest partnership tier, awarded only to partners who demonstrate exceptional expertise and success in delivering AWS solutions.

The path to Premier Partner status demands more than just technical excellence. It requires a proven track record of innovation, client success, and deep expertise across the AWS ecosystem. At EPI-USE Services for AWS, we've built this expertise through obtaining over 100 AWS certifications, spanning everything from Cloud Practitioner to Professional Solutions Architect to SAP Specialty certifications.

But what does this elevated status mean for organizations working with us? Let's explore the tangible benefits of partnering with an AWS Premier Partner.

Financial Advantage

Through our Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with AWS, signed in 2023, our clients gain access to exclusive AWS credits and migration funding. This significantly reduces the cost of key initiatives, whether you're exploring a modernization proof of concept, migrating SAP systems, or developing new AWS applications. Our innovative EPI-USE Safe Harbor, Inclusive of Passage (SHIP) program further transforms the economics of legacy modernization, making it an opportunity rather than a burden.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Working with a Premier Partner means staying at the forefront of technology. We receive early access to new AWS services, giving our clients a competitive edge in areas like generative AI, advanced computing capabilities, and network security. This early exposure allows us to build expertise before these technologies hit the mainstream, ensuring our clients benefit from mature, well-tested implementations.

Deep Expertise and Proven Methodologies

Our experience spans diverse technological landscapes. We've successfully modernized Microsoft environments, SAP landscapes, open-source systems, and legacy infrastructure. Each project has contributed to our proprietary methodologies, which we continuously refine to leverage the latest AWS capabilities. This wealth of experience allows us to customize solutions that precisely match your organization's needs, while incorporating industry best practices.

Enhanced Collaboration with AWS

As a Premier Partner, we enjoy enhanced collaboration with AWS technical teams. This direct line of communication ensures faster problem resolution, better architectural guidance, and deeper insights into AWS’s technology roadmap. When you work with us, you're not just getting EPI-USE's expertise – you're benefiting from our strong relationship with AWS itself.

Broad Competencies and Specializations

Our competencies extend across critical areas, including Migration and Modernization, Microsoft Workloads, Managed Services, SAP Consulting, and Retail. We are also validated for specific AWS services like EC2 for Windows, CloudFront, RDS, and EKS. As a Well-Architected Partner and Public Sector Partner, we bring best practices and compliance expertise to every engagement.

Looking Ahead

Our Premier Partner status strengthens our ability to deliver transformative solutions. Whether you're planning a large-scale migration, modernizing legacy systems, or building cloud-native applications, our enhanced capabilities and direct AWS relationship ensure your success. We're committed to combining our technical expertise with AWS's latest innovations to accelerate your digital transformation.

As the cloud landscape evolves rapidly, it brings both new opportunities and challenges. As an AWS Premier Partner, we're not just keeping pace with these changes – we're helping shape them. Our close collaboration with AWS ensures we can help you navigate this evolution, turning technological advancement into business advantage.

Our achievement of AWS Premier Partner status marks a significant milestone for EPI-USE and opens new possibilities for how we serve our clients. It's a testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation in the AWS ecosystem, and we're excited to bring these enhanced capabilities to organizations ready to accelerate their cloud transformation.
