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 New Zealand teams reduce manual effort, surface code and dependency insights faster, and modernise applications more confidently. Backed by AWS’s regional infrastructure and Datacom’s New Zealand delivery capability, we help organisations move from legacy platforms to AWS with less risk and greater long‑term value.

“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 New Zealand 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 New Zealand and across A/NZ

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 New Zealand 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 New Zealand operations.

What is the best way to migrate to AWS for a New Zealand organisation?

The most effective way is to treat migration as a structured program rather than a one‑off lift‑and‑shift. New Zealand organisations should start with an assessment of their current environment, business goals and risk profile, then use an AWS‑aligned framework such as the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) to plan phases, choose the right strategy for each workload (rehost, replatform, refactor) and design a secure landing zone before moving anything. Datacom’s New Zealand teams follow these patterns, using automation, Well‑Architected Reviews and migration accelerators to reduce manual effort, minimise downtime and keep New Zealand regulatory and connectivity requirements in view throughout the process.​​

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 simple infrastructure migration. Legacy applications are assessed to identify which components can be rehosted quickly, which should be replatformed onto managed AWS services, and which are worth refactoring into cloud‑native architectures using containers, serverless, or modern integration patterns. Datacom also uses generative‑AI‑driven tools, such as those delivered through its strategic collaboration with AWS, to analyse codebases and configurations, speeding up remediation and modernisation while reducing risk for New Zealand organisations.​

What AWS managed services does Datacom provide in New Zealand?

In New Zealand, Datacom provides end‑to‑end AWS managed services covering day‑to‑day operations, optimisation and governance of your AWS environment. This includes 24/7 monitoring and incident response, patching, backup and disaster recovery, security and compliance checks, and ongoing cost and performance optimisation using FinOps and AWS Well‑Architected best practices. Services are delivered by AWS‑certified teams across Australasia, who can also integrate AWS operations with Datacom’s wider cloud operations and sovereign or hybrid platforms where data residency or jurisdictional control is required.​​
