What are AWS consulting services?
A definition
AWS consulting services cover the planning, architecture, migration, build and operation of workloads on Amazon Web Services. A consulting partner supplies the certified engineers, the reference architectures and the delivery method, and stays accountable for the outcome after go-live.
What a partner tier signals
AWS validates partners on audited customer work rather than on self-assessment. Premier Tier requires certified staff, launched customer opportunities and sustained delivery revenue over six consecutive months, reviewed by AWS before the tier is granted.
How Dedicatted delivers them
One team covers strategy, migration, data, generative AI and managed operations, under SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls, with AWS funding secured for the first phase where the workload qualifies.
What AWS has validated
AWS awards each designation after auditing delivered customer work. Each card states what AWS examined and what it means for your programme.

How does AWS funding work?
Programs, not discounts
AWS funds assessments, proofs of concept and migration phases through partner programs. The funding is granted against a defined scope and an agreed outcome, and it reaches you through the partner that delivers the work.
What we file for you
We scope the phase, prepare the submission and track approval, so the commercial work sits with us rather than with your team. Eligibility depends on the workload, the account and the program AWS has open at the time.
What it usually covers
An assessment or a proof of concept is commonly funded in full or in part. A migration phase is funded against the business case. Approval is never guaranteed, and we say before the work starts what the position is.
How an AWS engagement runs
From the first call to a platform in production. The first phase is defined and funded before any build work starts.

Dedicatted on AWS in numbers
The figures AWS records against our partner account.
- 500+ AWS customer launches
- 150+ AWS certifications held by the team
- 11 AWS competencies
- 25 AWS service validations
Every engagement runs under SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls, on AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud.
What are the benefits of working with a strategic AWS partner?
Access to AWS itself
A collaboration agreement puts AWS specialists, program managers and funding teams on the engagement alongside ours, which shortens the path on architecture reviews, service limits and escalations.
Delivery that has been audited
Competencies and service validations are awarded on delivered customer work. They tell you where a partner has been examined rather than where it claims experience.
One accountable team
Strategy, migration, data, generative AI and managed operations under one contract, one delivery lead and one set of controls, rather than a chain of suppliers.

FAQ
What is a Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS?
It is a multi-year joint plan between AWS and a partner, covering the services, industries and investment both sides commit to. Dedicatted signed one with AWS to move generative AI from pilot to production, which puts AWS specialists, program managers and funding teams on engagements alongside our own team.
What does AWS Premier Tier mean for a client?
Premier Tier is the highest tier AWS awards a services partner. It requires a bench of accredited and certified staff, at least three competencies including MSP or DevOps, and 50 launched customer opportunities with sustained recurring revenue, held for six consecutive months and reviewed by AWS before the tier is granted.
What is an AWS Managed Service Provider?
The AWS MSP designation is granted after an independent audit of how a partner monitors, patches, secures, recovers and bills a customer platform. It covers the operating practice rather than a single project, which is why it is the designation to look for when you are handing over production.
What are AWS service validations?
A service validation records that AWS has examined a partner’s delivery on one named service, such as Amazon Redshift or AWS Lambda, against customer evidence. Dedicatted holds 25 of them, which is the practical measure of where our engineers have been assessed.
Can AWS fund part of my project?
Often, yes. AWS funds assessments, proofs of concept and migration phases through partner programs, against a defined scope and an agreed outcome. We scope the phase and prepare the submission. Eligibility depends on the workload, the account and the program AWS has open at the time, and we state the position before the work starts.
Do you resell AWS, and does that change my bill?
We are an AWS Authorized Commercial Reseller. Reselling consolidates the account under one invoice and gives you support on commitments, discounts and account structure. The AWS services and rates remain AWS services and rates.
Can our data stay in Canada or in the European Union?
Yes. Region selection, data residency, access control and key management are designed into the platform, which is the ground the AWS Digital Sovereignty competency covers. We hold that competency and we document the controls as part of the architecture.
What does a Well-Architected Review include?
A structured review of the workload against the six pillars AWS defines, run by an authorized partner. You receive the findings, the risks ranked by severity, and a remediation plan with owners and effort. AWS credits toward remediation are available in some cases.
Do you also work with Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud?
Yes. AWS is where our deepest designations sit, and we deliver on Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud as well. Where a platform spans more than one cloud, the architecture and the operating model account for that from the start.
AWS consulting and cloud services partner
Dedicatted is an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with a Strategic Collaboration Agreement, 11 AWS competencies and 25 AWS service validations. We design, migrate, build and operate cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services for organizations in Canada, the United States and Europe.
Our AWS consulting services cover cloud strategy and architecture, migration and modernization, data platforms, generative and agentic AI, DevOps and Kubernetes, security and resilience, cost governance and managed operations. Engagements are delivered by AWS-certified engineers under SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls, and AWS funding is secured for the first phase where the workload qualifies.
AWS consulting services
AWS cloud consulting starts with the outcome the business needs and works back to the architecture. We assess the current estate, define the target architecture and the landing zone, plan the migration in waves, and agree the security, resilience and cost controls before any workload moves. The assessment is a fixed scope with a written deliverable, and AWS funding covers it in many cases.
AWS migration services
We migrate data centres, Windows Server estates, SAP systems, databases and mainframe workloads to AWS. Each wave carries a rollback position, a reconciliation step and a cutover plan agreed with the business. The AWS Migration and Modernization competency and the AWS Application Migration Service validation record that AWS has examined this work on delivered customer programmes.
AWS managed services
After go-live the platform can be transferred to our managed service, audited under the AWS MSP standard. That covers monitoring and alerting, incident response with published response targets, patching, backup and recovery testing, security reviews and monthly cost governance, reported in a form you can take to a board.
Generative AI on AWS
We build generative and agentic AI on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker, with retrieval augmented generation, model evaluation, guardrails and cost per task measured from the first week. The AWS AI Services competency and the Agentic AI Specialization record that AWS has assessed this delivery. The four-week AI readiness assessment is AWS-funded and establishes where AI returns value first.
