The journey to the cloud can be complex and resource-intensive. This is where AWS MAP (Migration Acceleration Program) steps in, offering a streamlined path to cloud adoption. But what exactly is AWS MAP, and how can it benefit your organization?

What is AWS MAP?

AWS MAP is a strategic program designed by AWS to accelerate the cloud migration journey for clients. The program provides funding to AWS partners, like Aligned Technology Group, to help identify workloads and migrate them efficiently to AWS. This funding support ensures that clients can transition to the cloud faster and more seamlessly.

How Does AWS MAP Benefit Everyone Involved?

AWS MAP creates a win-win-win scenario for all parties involved – the client, the partner, and AWS:

  1. For the Client: The primary benefit for clients is speed to market. By leveraging AWS MAP, organizations can expedite their migration process, allowing them to quickly reap the benefits of the cloud, such as enhanced scalability, improved performance, and cost savings.
  2. For the Partner: Partners like Aligned Technology Group receive funding from AWS to assist clients in their migration journey. This financial support enables partners to provide comprehensive migration services, ensuring a smooth transition to the cloud.
  3. For AWS: By accelerating the migration process, AWS sees faster consumption of its cloud services. This is beneficial for AWS as it drives increased utilization of their platform.

MAP Flavors: MAP Light and MAP 2.0

AWS MAP comes in two distinct flavors to cater to different client needs:

  1. MAP Light: Designed for migrations resulting in $250,000 of annual recurring revenue from workloads consumed on AWS. This option is ideal for organizations with moderate cloud consumption needs.
  2. MAP 2.0: Targeted at migrations generating over $500,000 of annual recurring revenue. This variant is suited for larger organizations with substantial cloud workload requirements.

Each variant of AWS MAP offers different funding mechanisms, tailored to the volume of workloads being migrated and the anticipated consumption within the AWS environment post-migration.
