Michael Chen, VP of Cloud Services

March 21, 2026

70% reduction in operational time + 50% cloud cost savings

The no-code platform for autonomous CloudOps that scales your MSP practice.

A Note

How we got here

We're grateful to Sarah Martinez at AWS for the introduction. When an AWS partner recommends us to another partner, we show up differently. This isn't a vendor pitch. It's the start of a partnership designed to transform how you deliver managed services and accelerate your path to AWS MSP Program recognition.

The Inflection Point

You're at a critical moment

What's Working

  • AWS Advanced Tier Partner with 50+ active AWS accounts under management
  • Strong regional presence with 12 enterprise customers and growing
  • Technical team of 8 cloud engineers with deep AWS expertise
  • Pursuing AWS MSP Program designation in 2026
  • Healthy pipeline with 3 enterprise prospects in final stages

What Needs Work

  • Manual Well-Architected Reviews taking 2-3 weeks per customer
  • No centralized visibility across customer accounts - each account is a silo
  • Engineers spending 60%+ time on repetitive operational tasks
  • Customer onboarding taking 3-4 weeks instead of days
  • No standardized reporting - each customer report is created from scratch
  • Limited ability to scale without adding headcount
  • MAP tagging and compliance tracking done manually in spreadsheets

We need to scale from 50 to 150 managed accounts without tripling headcount — and we need the operational maturity to achieve AWS MSP designation.

Your target customers

Your customers are mid-market enterprises running production workloads on AWS — healthcare, financial services, and SaaS companies that need 24/7 reliability, compliance, and cost optimization. They want a partner who can proactively manage their cloud, not just respond to tickets.

The Risk

What happens if nothing changes

MSP Program Stalls

Without operational maturity proof points, AWS MSP Program designation gets pushed to 2027 or beyond

Engineer Burnout

Top talent leaves for less manual work environments — you lose institutional knowledge and customer relationships

Customer Churn

Slow reporting, reactive support, and inconsistent service levels push customers to competitors

Pipeline Bottleneck

Can't close new deals because onboarding capacity is maxed — growth stalls despite strong demand

Margin Compression

Without automation, every new customer requires proportional headcount — margins stay flat or decline

Competitive Loss

MSPs with automated operations win deals faster, deliver better SLAs, and offer lower pricing

AWS Funding Missed

Manual MAP tracking means missed tagging, lost credits, and reduced partner funding — leaving money on the table

The Next 90 Days

What we'll build together

Operational Excellence

  • Single pane of glass across all 50+ customer accounts
  • Automated Well-Architected Reviews in 15 minutes, not 2 weeks
  • No-code workflows for patching, compliance, and remediation

Scale & Growth

  • 3x account capacity without adding headcount
  • Customer onboarding in days, not weeks
  • New revenue streams from automated services

AWS MSP Readiness

  • Proof of Management documentation automated
  • MAP tagging and compliance tracking built-in
  • Board-ready reporting and attribution

How we'll measure it

Important to Note

What's not included

  • Custom integrations beyond standard MCP connectors
  • Dedicated engineer time for bespoke development
  • On-site training (available as add-on)
