The demand for cloud services increased significantly in the past year as part of companies’ of their digital transformation. Recognizing that some organizations need extra help in this journey, software firm Stratpoint has been enabling these companies with digital and business solutions.

Cloud technology has helped businesses streamline their processes and create a virtual office, giving them the flexibility to operate their services anywhere at any time. And with the growing number of web-enabled devices in today’s work environment, access to data is also made even more available.

Stratpoint has helped Lockton Philippines Insurance & Reinsurance Brokers Inc., which started its cloud journey with migration to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform in 2020. Lockton realized the need for 24/7 access for its clients and through Stratpoint, it allowed the company to continue servicing customers amid restrictions.

Stratpoint builds modern applications for enterprises that elevate customer experiences and promote business growth in the digital economy today and in the future. The company leverages its expertise and experience with Filipino enterprises and Silicon Valley startups to design, develop, and manage software, cloud, data, and AI solutions, enabling companies to become agile, scalable, and competitive in the global market.

Stratpoint assisted Lockton with tools, methodologies, frameworks, and best practices to ensure an accelerated, streamlined migration to the cloud. The insurance brokerage firm was able to build a reliable infrastructure, automated backup, and disaster recovery in place, without requiring a large team to maintain it.

Stratpoint also helped Lockton implement their IT roadmap to scale, expecting more savings from cost efficiency due to AWS’ elasticity, scalability, and the OPEX subscription model.

Future-proof business with AWS

Stratpoint offers a full suite of cloud-based services for AWS, allowing businesses to innovate operations, integrate digital solutions, and grow despite challenges, helping them thrive amid uncertain times.

AWS is a comprehensive, evolving cloud computing platform provided by Amazon that includes a mixture of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and packaged software as a service (SaaS) offering. It offers organizations tools such as compute power, database storage, and content delivery services.

Businesses can modernize their applications on AWS, giving them the ability to scale to potentially millions of users quickly, have a broad reach, manage extensive data, and respond to customer needs fast. It allows organizations to innovate faster while reducing risk, time to market, and total cost of ownership.

“Migrating to the cloud with AWS presents opportunities for businesses of all sizes to embrace digital transformation while keeping initial investment costs low. Developing an agile mindset and adopting new technologies will help Filipino enterprises thrive and be in fighting form amid these uncertain times,” said Mary Rose Dela Cruz, CEO, Stratpoint.

Stratpoint is also offering an AWS Migration Promo for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), the same promotion Lockton availed to start its AWS migration, to help companies cope with today’s challenges.

Any company interested in availing of the promo will receive three months’ worth of AWS credits, allowing them to save up to $20,000 of costs to jumpstart their AWS migration. Stratpoint is still offering its promo to any interested companies who want to start their migration to the cloud.
