How NEXTGEN helped accelerate Cogniss’s AWS journey
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the global leader in public cloud services. The AWS Partner Program, designed to support partners in delivering services and building platforms for customers, is comprised of dozens of programs, resources, and certifications. This complexity, combined with the challenges of managing an AWS environment, means partners often struggle to effectively manage costs and fully capitalise on the available programs to support their growth.
Cogniss, a pioneering health tech startup initially identified by the AWS Accelerated Development Team, strategically partnered with NEXTGEN to accelerate their AWS partnership. Like many ‘born in the cloud’ AWS Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partners, Cogniss battled with escalating AWS costs, navigating the complexities of the AWS partner program, and launching their product on AWS Marketplace. In close collaboration with the AWS partner team, NEXTGEN provided Cogniss with
augmented support. This support enabled Cogniss to unlock AWS funding and credits, reduce its cloud bill by 10 percent within the first 12 months of the partnership and expand its market reach by completing the FTR and launching onto AWS marketplace.
“With limited internal resources, leveraging a partner that can help us optimise our costs, increase our commercial reach and provide strategic advice on future AWS interaction is extremely valuable.”
