My experience with Mindex team members has gone very smoothly, from transitioning to existing projects to starting new ones. They have proven to be very knowledgeable in the AWS (Amazon Web Services) world and are always motivated to complete important tasks on time. They have been professional and very eager to get involved in providing the most accurate solution.

Why do I need a Cloud Managed Services provider?

A Cloud Managed Service provider can ensure that your systems are secure, scalable, and reliable, while providing expert guidance on how to effectively utilize AWS services. Additionally, they can handle routine tasks such as backups and system updates, saving you time and resources. With a Cloud Managed Services provider by your side, you can focus on achieving your core business objectives and maximizing your cloud investment.

Why work with a Cloud Managed Services provider instead of engaging directly with AWS?

AWS does have cloud management services available, but they're mainly aimed at bigger enterprise clients. If you're a smaller business, AWS will likely suggest working with a partner (like us, Mindex!) to help you manage your cloud infrastructure. They do have options for those with big budgets, but for the SMB and mid-market crowd, working with a partner is the way to go.

What other cloud services does Mindex offer?

Mindex provides a range of cloud services including cloud-native app development, big data and analytics, application modernization, cloud migration, and application integrations. If you're interested in learning more about these offerings, please visit our cloud services page.
