A VIRTUAL EVENT | ON-DEMAND


Agenda


Hear from Daniel Backer, VP of Informational Technology at The Aspen Institute, about how they moved to AWS with their cloud migration project. Daniel will share the wants and the needs The Aspen Institute used as a guide in their design and approach for shifting operational processes into the cloud. Learn why it’s important to focus on the technology and on creating a team that can support the transformation.




Discover the opportunity to increase impact with Brad Turner, VP and GM of global education and literacy at Benetech. Hear why they took a cloud-first approach to enable them to deliver more reliable, globally available services to their community. Learn how starting with a cloud-native migration strategy allowed the beneficiaries they support to focus on other mission critical objectives such as member engagement and fundraising.



Learn about the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) and how it will help your organization reduce costs, innovate faster, scale exponentially, and create better experiences for your beneficiaries and volunteers. AWS Professional Services will describe the three-phase journey that will help you achieve your migration goals by reducing migration complexity and leveraging the performance, security, and reliability of the cloud.




Organizations who migrate workloads to the cloud enjoy cost savings, less downtime, and greater agility to meet the demands of their mission. Join AWS Senior Solutions Architects as they explain the ways to migrate your compute, database, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) workloads to the cloud. Jumpstart migrations for your organization’s workloads so that you can experience all the benefits that the cloud has to offer.



Transform your impact while making the most of the AWS Imagine Grant, available to organizations big or small. Our goal is to empower your organizations to prioritize technology as a mission-critical component of its programs and to provide support for organizations pursuing technology-driven goals.

Organizations today are looking to free themselves from the constraints of on-premises databases and leverage the power of fully managed databases in the cloud. Amazon RDS is a fully managed relational database service that you can use to run your choice of database engines including open source engines, Oracle, and SQL Server in the cloud. Amazon RDS automates time-consuming database administration tasks and adds capabilities such as replication and Multi-AZ failover to make your database deployments more scalable, available, reliable, manageable, and cost-effective. This session covers why you should consider moving your on-premises Oracle & SQL Server deployments to Amazon RDS and the tools to get started.

Accelerate your digital transformation journey


We are in the era of digital transformation, where every day we have to adapt to the new changes that arise. For most nonprofits, digital transformation can seem overwhelming, however, it’s crucial to modernize. Nonprofits have to be hyper-focused on the activities that yield the highest levels of impact to justify the budgets they need to operate effectively and to engage with beneficiaries.

Join Amazon Web Services (AWS) for Nonprofits as we dive into how cloud migrations can kick start your digital transformation journey. We'll hear from The Aspen Institute and Benetech about the ways they embraced the power of cloud technology to scale their impact. Whether moving existing applications or redesigning with a cloud-native approach, migrations present an opportunity to transform the way your organization serves its beneficiaries. Learn how your nonprofit can lower overhead costs, become more agile, and deliver reliable, globally available services to your community.
