Unicon has introduced Jump Start for AWS, a new cloud consulting service that helps institutions migrate to Amazon Web Services.

The service guides customers through a four-step process:

• Discovery and Application Selection;
• Establish AWS Foundation;
• Application Migration; and
• Client Enablement.

"These steps keep institutions and organizations in control of their workloads and applications throughout the collaborative process, enabling them to get started the right way with AWS while an experienced resource guides them through every step," according to the company. The goal is to help institutions gain operational experience, reduce the cost of physical infrastructure and ease the process of moving to the AWS Cloud.

"Unicon designed the Jump Start for AWS service in response to the market needs of the education industry. Many institutions are seeing a need to move to the cloud, but do not have the required AWS expertise in-house. We developed a program to help these institutions get started with the fundamental elements to build a strong AWS foundation and acquire the knowledge to expand upon this foundation," said Marquess Lewis, CTO of Unicon, in a statement.
