CleanSlate Is an AWS
Premier Tier Services Partner
Fewer than 1% of AWS partners worldwide hold Premier Tier. It is the platform under nearly everything we build, and the reason most of our assessment work is funded.
Premier Tier Is Earned, Not Purchased
AWS grants Premier Tier on demonstrated outcomes: certified staff, validated customer references, and a track record across complex environments. It is the top tier AWS offers a services partner, and fewer than 1% of partners worldwide reach it.
What it means for you is practical rather than ceremonial. Premier Tier opens funding programs, escalation paths, and AWS technical resources that standard partners cannot access. On most engagements we bring money to the table before the work starts.
AWS Funding Programs
Most organizations do not know how much AWS will contribute to their migration or AI work. We are certified to deliver these programs and have run them repeatedly, so the funding question gets answered early rather than hoped for later.
Migration Acceleration Program
MAP runs in three stages: Assess, Mobilize, and Migrate. Each carries credits and incentives, and we hold expertise across the VMware, database, AI and modernization variants. RAMP Assess alone is funded up to $75K.
OLA and MODA
Optimization and Licensing Assessments give you a defensible view of what your current estate costs. We are certified and have delivered every OLA type: Windows, SQL, Oracle, Db2, storage, VMware, and cloud to cloud from Azure and GCP.
Proof of Concept Funding
POC credits, POC partner cash, and AI POC funding let you validate an approach on your own data before committing to a build. The point is to prove the thing works in your environment, not in a demo.
AI and Modernization Funding
AI Assessment, AI Production Ready, and the Amazon Quick programs fund the AI side. MODA and the MMP Windows Modernization Program cover moving legacy Windows workloads onto modern architecture.
Which programs apply to you depends on your environment. COBRA™ establishes that in the first conversation, and in most cases the assessment itself is fully funded. See how funding maps to each phase.
AI and Agentic AI on AWS
Our ACTIVATE solutions are built on Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock AgentCore as core infrastructure, which is what makes multi-agent orchestration and enterprise-grade security possible rather than aspirational.
Foundation and Agents
Amazon Bedrock, Bedrock AgentCore, Strands Agents, and Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock. This is the layer AI Agents, AI Automate and Knowledge Expert run on.
Developer and Document AI
Kiro, Amazon Quick, Amazon Textract and Amazon SageMaker AI. Robo and Intelligent IDP are built here.
Data and Analytics
Amazon QuickSight, AWS Glue, Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3, AWS Lake Formation and Amazon OpenSearch. Lakehouse AI sits on this foundation.
Anthropic, Databricks, Snowflake and Confluent all run on AWS alongside these services. See the solutions built on them.
Migration and Modernization on AWS
Moving off Azure, on-premises hardware, VMware and legacy platforms, then modernizing what lands. We run the 7-R process with AWS Transform and our own accelerators.
Migration Tooling
AWS Transform, Application Migration Service, Database Migration Service, Mainframe Modernization and Migration Hub. Sequenced into waves rather than attempted all at once.
Modern Runtime
EKS, Amazon ECS, App Runner, AWS Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge and API Gateway. Full-stack Windows workloads including .NET and SQL Server, plus Java and VMware, onto cloud-native services.
Landing Zone and Governance
Control Tower, Landing Zone Accelerator, CloudFormation, Systems Manager and CDK, with HashiCorp Terraform and Vault where infrastructure as code and secrets management need to be first class.
Observability and FinOps
Cost visibility and operational monitoring built in from the landing zone forward, so the environment gets cheaper to run as it grows rather than quietly more expensive.
Premier Tier Access, Used on Your Behalf
We assess before we recommend
Premier Tier does not mean everything belongs on AWS. COBRA™ looks at what you actually run and tells you what should move, what should stay, and what should be rebuilt.
IBM and AWS under one roof
Most enterprises run both. We are an IBM Platinum Business Partner as well, so migrations between the two are handled by one team that understands each side rather than handed between vendors.
Funding is part of the plan
We establish what AWS will contribute before the work is scoped, so the business case reflects the real number rather than the list price.
Find Out What AWS Will Fund for You
COBRA™ establishes which programs apply to your environment and what they are worth, in about two weeks and roughly four hours of your team's time.
