The Benefits of Partnering with an AWS Managed Service Provider

If you don't have the resources in-house to manage AWS then a partner with the right experience can help you look after your AWS deployments. That's where partnering with an AWS Managed Service Provider (MSP) is a good option to bolt this capability into your existing team.

By stepping back from the management and optimisation of AWS infrastructure and using a third party, your team can concentrate on adding value for customers while still enjoying the advantages of the cloud. In this blog post, we will delve into the detailed benefits of teaming up with an AWS MSP.


An AWS MSP such as IG CloudOps is a third-party company that specialises in managing and optimising AWS infrastructure and services on behalf of its clients. We offer a range of AWS-focused services, including architecture, deployment, monitoring, security, and maintenance. As well as a mirrored set of Azure services.

Here are some of the benefits that come with partnering with us:

  1. Access to Expertise and Experience - IG CloudOps UK AWS team is staffed by experts in AWS infrastructure and services. We have worked with hundreds of different AWS deployments to help you design and implement cloud architectures that are tailored to your needs. This expertise is particularly valuable when it comes to complex deployments, such as those that involve multiple AWS services or require integration with on-premises systems.

  2. Improved Performance and Scalability - IG CloudOps can help you optimise your AWS infrastructure for performance and scalability. CloudOps our cloud management platform provides monitoring and we can use this to make recommendations for improvements, such as optimising instance types, storage configurations, and tuning your deployment. We can also help you scale infrastructure as needed to handle increases in traffic or workload or scale down when there is less demand. Find out about the features and capabilities of CloudOps here.

  3. Reduced Operational Overhead - Managing AWS infrastructure can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive task. By partnering with an IG CloudOps, you can offload many of the operational tasks associated with managing AWS infrastructure. This frees up internal resources to focus on other business-critical initiatives. Read our case study for Adaptive where over 18 developer days and 45k of staff cost were saved

  4. Elevated Security and Compliance - Safeguarding data and infrastructure in the cloud is paramount for any business. IG CloudOps is poised to assist you in devising and implementing top-tier security practices, ensuring the protection of your data and infrastructure against potential threats. We can also help ensure that AWS environments are compliant with industry regulations and standards, by running security audits and integrated PEN testing. You can find out more about this and the technology driving security compliance on our unified cloud management overview here.

  5. Cost Savings - We can help you optimise your AWS infrastructure for cost-effectiveness. By monitoring usage and recommending appropriate instance types, storage options, and other AWS services, we can help you reduce your cloud spend. Additionally, partnering with us can be more cost-effective than building and maintaining an internal team of AWS experts-we can extend your in-house team with software and support as required.

Partnering with an AWS MSP offers many benefits to organisations looking to make the most of their cloud investments. By providing expertise, optimising performance, reducing operational overhead, enhancing security and compliance, and delivering cost savings, MSPs can help organisations achieve their cloud goals more efficiently and effectively.
