Kickdrum achieves AWS Migration Competency status

Program recognizes Kickdrum’s proven technical expertise and customer success in accelerating cloud migrations.

AUSTIN, TX - December 14, 2022 - Kickdrum, an Austin-based software product engineering firm, today announced its achievement of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Migration Competency status.

This designation recognizes that Kickdrum provides deep expertise in helping accelerate and optimize a company’s journey to the AWS cloud. Kickdrum has proven experience and customer success through all phases of complex migration projects, including discovery, planning, migration, and operations. Achieving the Migration Competency Designation also qualifies Kickdrum to provide customers with AWS migration-related financial incentives not available to most partners.

To qualify for the Migration Competency, partners must demonstrate through case studies, customer references, and an intense review of internal processes that they can effectively help enterprise customers migrate applications and legacy infrastructure to AWS. AWS has validated that Kickdrum adheres to the Well-Architected Framework (operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization) and that Kickdrum follows industry best practices via a robust, consistent methodology through multiple migration phases. Only a small percentage of partners have achieved the Migration Competency status.

“Kickdrum loves making our customers successful, and that includes helping them achieve actual business value throughout their journey to the cloud. I’m proud to be recognized for our competency in cloud migration and excited to share new resources with our customers, particularly our Private Equity clients who are looking to the cloud to help create value in their portfolio companies," said Tom Carter, Principal, and Architect at Kickdrum.

AWS enables scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify AWS Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.

The Kickdrum team includes dozens of on-staff AWS Certified Solution Architects, AWS Specialists, and accredited business and technical professionals. Every one of Kickdrum’s engineers is required to become a certified AWS architect within their first year of employment.
