A strategic collaboration

Accelerate migration with AI-powered innovation

Our strategic partnership with AWS brings generative AI and tools like Amazon Q Developer into our migration workflows, helping Australian teams reduce manual analysis, identify code and configuration issues faster, and modernise applications more confidently. For many organisations, this reduces migration effort and risk while laying the groundwork for AI‑enabled digital services once workloads are on AWS.

“For many organisations the need to modernise legacy systems is a key priority to deliver greater resiliency, efficiency, and new digital experiences – but cost and risk are a real concern. Our partnership with AWS is key to delivering cloud-based digital foundations for these outcomes while also unlocking value through generative AI services such as Amazon Q for app modernisation and migration” - Mike Walls, Datacom Director Cloud.

Frequently asked questions

What AWS partner competencies does Datacom currently hold?

Datacom holds AWS Premier Tier Services Partner status and is an AWS Managed Services Provider with Migration and other audited competencies, reflecting our depth of certified capability and proven delivery across large‑scale AWS projects in New Zealand and Australia.

How does Datacom optimise AWS spend through its FinOps practice?

Our FinOps practice combines tagging standards, dashboards, and proactive rightsizing recommendations to identify cost inefficiencies, enforce accountability and deliver savings across your AWS accounts. As an AWS Cloud Financial Management provider, we also help Australian customers put guardrails and governance in place so cloud spend stays aligned to budgets and business outcomes.

Is 24/7 monitoring included in Datacom’s AWS managed-service offer?

Yes. Our AWS managed services include 24/7 proactive monitoring, incident response, patching and compliance checks delivered by AWS‑certified teams in Australasia.

What is Datacom’s process for an AWS Well-Architected Review?

We assess your workloads against AWS’s Well-Architected Framework pillars, deliver a gap analysis, and provide remediation guidance to improve performance, security and cost efficiency for your Australian environment.

How to migrate to AWS cloud?

Datacom accelerates your move to AWS using validated AWS methodologies such as the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), Well‑Architected Reviews, secure landing zones and automated deployment pipelines. We start with an assessment of your current environment, define a migration path for each workload, and then execute in phases to minimise risk, downtime and impact on Australian operations.

What is the best way to migrate to AWS for an Australian organisation?

The best approach is to treat migration as a structured program guided by AWS best practices rather than a one‑time move. Datacom starts with an assessment of your environment and business goals, then uses AWS methodologies such as the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) to design a landing zone, choose the right strategy for each workload, and plan phased migrations. This reduces risk and downtime and supports your new AWS environment being secure, scalable and ready for further modernisation.

How does Datacom help modernise legacy systems on AWS?

Datacom combines AWS services with application‑modernisation and AI‑powered engineering to move legacy systems beyond lift‑and‑shift. We identify which components can be rehosted quickly, which should be replatformed onto managed AWS services, and which are worth refactoring into cloud‑native patterns using containers, serverless and modern integration. Through our collaboration with AWS, we also use generative‑AI tools to analyse and remediate codebases, helping Australian customers modernise faster and with more confidence.​​

What AWS managed services does Datacom provide in Australia?

Datacom provides end‑to‑end AWS managed services covering monitoring, incident response, patching, backup and disaster recovery, security, compliance checks and ongoing cost and performance optimisation. Services are delivered 24/7 by AWS‑certified teams across Australia and New Zealand and can be integrated with Datacom’s broader cloud operations, FinOps and security practices, giving you a single partner to operate and continually improve your AWS environment.
