DNX and AWS sign SCA to simplify modernisation for customers

DNX and AWS signed a SCA under the Microsoft Modernsation Partner Performance Incentive Program.

DNX Solutions has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with AWS under the Microsoft Modernisation (MODNET) Partner Performance Incentive Program to simplify modernisation for its customers.

This program is designed to accelerate the modernisation of .NET applications and SQL server databases on AWS.

Speaking with CRN Australia, Kelly Griffith, general manager, DNX Solutions said they are leveraging this deal to continue to demonstrate their experience and capability, and to rebrand modernisation for customers that believe its complex.

"We're using this as a catalyst to say the capability that we have, and the IP that we've developed, and the way that we think about leveraging AI in this space as well to accelerate a modernisation exercise is there for everybody,” he said.

According to Griffin, this program has accelerated some of the development that they have in the background around accelerated AI modernisation for applications and data.

“It also gives us the ability to unlock a few tools and service integrations that we have with the AWS,” he said.

From this deal, DNX Solutions now has access to specialist teams and service teams direct to help accelerate some of the IP their building.

It also allows them to fast track the backlog that they have in terms of AI development for modernisation.

"We'll be fast tracking a lot of the capability, the builds and the tool sets that we've been building in the background,” he said.

“What it means for customers is that the future stage of modernisation for them is going to be far more accelerated than what they've ever believed, which is great, but it'll be backed by a very clear and tangible business use cases as well.”

He added, “This strategic collaboration agreement allows us to accelerate that, and we wouldn't have been able to release that anytime soon if we didn't have this agreement in place.”

Griffin wants his customers to know that “modernisation is for everyone”.

“It is a mechanism that will allow customers to scale their business in any way, shape or form and in the direction that they need to go,” he said.

He said modernisation doesn’t need to be complex, it just needs to be understood.

"It needs to be opinionated in the way that you go and deliver this, but then backed by those three key pillars: cost management, risk management and revenue developing as well,” he said.

"If we're not anchoring against one of those then it's a missed opportunity.”

Griffin added that modernisation isn’t a technology problem.

“Modernisation is very much anchored around the human layer, and so we want to make sure that people are at the centre of this, to ensure that there's a skills uplift and capability uplift,” he ended.
