NC TECH, in partnership with Business North Carolina, launched the NEXT TECH Awards to showcase and celebrate North Carolina’s rising tech stars. NEXT TECH Awards will honor a selection of individuals who are critical and exceptional performers helping to grow our state’s tech and tech-enabled companies and organizations, but who — not being a c-suite executive — don’t often get recognized publicly. The awards honor contributors who go the extra mile, build products, grow revenue, support operations, and manage projects that propel businesses forward.  

Thank you to those who submitted a nomination for the awards. The tremendous response resulted in a competitive selection process. 

2023 INAUGURAL CLASS OF WINNERS

Congratulations to the 30 individuals selected to be part of the inaugural class of NEXT TECH Award winners.   What all these individuals have in common is their exceptional business impacts, positive energy and attitude, and community engagement. 

 The 2023 Class of Winners will be celebrated during the NEXT TECH Awards Celebration on June 12 at the Raleigh Convention Center and profiled in the June issue of Business North Carolina.

Cost Optimization

Issue: Small AWS deployment with little management oversight and a lack of cloud skills internal to the organization moving from traditional infrastructure to SaaS and cloud based solutions.

 

What we did

  1. AWS Audit
  2. Cost Optimization Review
  3. Ongoing Monitoring

 

Result:

  • Eliminated unused storage volumes and the old application server no longer in use, the charges for AWS resulted in a savings of 51% per month.
  • We’ll continue to monitor AWS billing and finance to ensure maintenance of savings and identify other future changes.
