Why choose Amazon Web Services?

Functionality

AWS offers the widest variety of databases that are purpose-built for different types of applications so you can choose the right tool for the job to get the best cost and performance.

Community

AWS has the largest and most dynamic community, with millions of active customers and partners globally. This includes start-ups, enterprises and public sector organisations.

Security

AWS is architected to be the most flexible and secure cloud computing environment available today. It satisfies the security requirements for the military and global banks.

Why choose SkillSet as your AWS partner?

1. Security

By moving to the AWS Cloud, you increase your organisation’s security while simultaneously improving scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. AWS helps you achieve this level of security by allowing for even greater visibility into your workloads, as well as access to a suite of tools and services to meet your unique needs.

2. Shared knowledge

Our software development team have skills and expertise that can be called upon when you choose to host your site with AWS.

With over 30 years combined experience across multiple sectors, the team can be trusted to deliver.

3. High-quality content

SkillSet has delivered high-quality content to a vast array of organisations across multiple industry sectors. Not only can this shared experience be called upon to deliver your project, but the team is highly-skilled at delivering new and unique content in close collaboration with you.

4. Low latency

A responsive, available website is a crucial component of your organisation. With SkillSet and AWS, your customers can access your website anywhere in the world with low latency. There is no need to purchase hardware, build facilities, or find a co-location provider. You can safeguard the availability of your website even in the case of rare events like natural disasters.

5. Fast deployment

With AWS, your organisation can deploy a scalable and highly available website simply and quickly. Unlike traditional approaches that require you to find a co-location provider or build a data center, AWS allows you to reach your customers in a matter of minutes.

6. Low costs

As your website traffic ebbs and flows, AWS automatically scales capacity up and down, allowing you to only pay for what you use and therefore improve resource utilisation. AWS offers training, reference architectures, SDKs for many popular platforms and more, making it easy to get started.

AWS was the perfect hosting solution for these clients:
