High quality wall plaques that keep your news looking great for a lifetime.

That’s Great News was founded in 2003 to market high quality recognition products directly to the end user. They custom make every plaque to order, creating a product that is far superior to traditional simple framing. 

That’s Great News found themselves spending excessively on AWS as their database of over 3 million news articles continued to expand. With technical resources spread thin, they sought expert guidance to enhance their storage and archival strategy in AWS, and concurrently reduce costs.

Aligned Technology Group deployed the Elastic Engineering Program to identify potential savings and engineer a robust storage strategy. Specifically, the S3 Storage backend for Oracle Net Suite was proposed, encompassing different storage types and architectures for long-term archival storage and S3. ATG also leveraged the Catalyst program to resell AWS services to That’s Great News for additional advisory services provided for no additional cost.
