Testimonials from some of our consulting customers from the
AWS GenAI TTM (Targeted Transformation Module)
"The AWS GenAI TTM Workshop was a game-changer for PCG's Human Services practice area. This has helped us align our understanding of available AI technologies and facilitated productive discussions. We were able to list about ten use cases, narrow down two to focus on, and even identify one that we want to create a proof of concept for. The workshop provided us with enough material to write specifications for the POC and helped us craft an initial business case. Also, having a non-KKE person validate our understanding of the problem was invaluable. We recommend this workshop to any team that wants to deepen their knowledge of AI and drive innovation."
Rupam Chokshi - Product Leader - Public Consulting Group (USA)
"The program helped us a lot to see ways to deliver possibilities to the customer. Today we have many customers who want to use GenAI but don't know where to apply it, and it was really nice to better understand how to help them. The program also encouraged us to think about creating a replicable offer, something that we can scale in a simple way, like a SaaS"
André Chagas – CTO - MyTech
"I believe the program was very helpful in identifying the number one opportunity and understanding GenAI tools and their potential impact on business. And then it was really helpful to plug in how that affects or can integrate with our product and just bring that to market so that organizations really have a winning approach with AWS and HealthEspresso. I think their consulting services were really good at helping guide the brainstorming of the product turnaround session, identifying how it connects to the business and how it can actually be launched and marketed."
Rick Menassa - Founder and CEO of Health Espresso (Canada)
"I think it was thought-provoking and created the time, the space and the structure for the conversation to flow well, led by you, Alexandre, with a high-level process, without having to go too deep, and with the intelligence to actually have to do it. That was the best thing we could get out. So, I think overall, the end result was really valuable. And I think we're genuinely excited to try to do something that puts us at the forefront as one of the first to do it in the UK, which is how we want Digital Space to be known."
Jon Portlock - Cloud Director at Digital Space (United Kingdom)
"We greatly appreciate the time and effort you have put in helping us learn more about this and guide the development of GenAI's offering. We appreciate the guidance, insights, and knowledge you brought."
Michael Wilson - Business Development Executive, Kyndryl (USA)
"I was surprised by how you led me to think of ideas, to make an evaluation, to screen what is good and what is not, with a kind of score. There were learnings that go beyond GenAI. They are business learnings. They far exceeded my expectations."
Jonatas Mattes - Cloud Business Director at EDS (Brazil)
"It was very good for me to be able to have a broader view of the AWS portfolio, of what we have built of solutions here at BU. The experience of participating in this construction, for me, was very enlightening."
Emanuel Brandão - Data Scientist at EDS (Brazil)
"I think it was very interesting for us to realize that AI has very strong potential in the public sector. AI, and generative AI, can automate, create tasks and services that today are done very manually. So, I think it has a lot of potential."
Artur Cordeiro from DNX Brazil
"I think the biggest gain was not necessarily technical, but understanding more about Product Design, with sharper thinking. So the interesting point here is that we can use this knowledge across DNX. This gain was not necessarily much noticed outside of the GenAI team, but certainly this sharper thinking from GenAI's Solution Design to the product was a very big gain for us."
Emanuel Estumano - CEO of DNX Brazil
"The program helped a lot to present possible paths for understanding GenAI technology and to start building PoCs, motivating the generation of ideas and insights for new products and services. As a suggestion, it would be important to add more hands-on activities. Overall, we congratulate the program's initiative and the kick-off to generate some PoCs in the segment"
Fabio Lucinari - CEO of Nublify (Brazil)
"The GenAI TTM program was instrumental in building the approach strategy for the new AI team formed by e-master."
Roger Rodrigues - CEO of e-master (Brazil)
"The program has given e-master a lot of clarity on how to organize ideas and generate a robust delivery plan for the market."
Hildo Junior - Sales Manager at e-master (Brazil)
"Advance Consulting brought very rich materials, with a lot of information that we ended up taking to other opportunities as well. I liked it a lot."
Eduarda Iansen - Nuage IT (Brazil)
"I think this exchange is very important, because everyone has different experiences. The material you brought has opened many doors in our minds about how we can develop something. Congratulations on the program. It was a watershed for us."
Dayana Sanches - Nuage IT (Brazil)
"The customer was very satisfied with the delivery. They were doing other tests with Google and OpenAI. And then, the customer said that AWS was far above what he expected. He expected something much more basic. So, we also work very efficiently. I think we are very pleased with the delivery, as we were able to consolidate everything into a single material and everything in this presentation."
Nicolle Cristen - Nuage IT (Brazil)
"I think this was a great workshop or exercise for us. He simply brought together different thoughts, leaders and experts from WWT. And I think we had some pretty collaborative conversations, with some input from Alexandre and AWS, and I think that helped us prioritize a GenAI solution for our solution roadmap this year. So, I think it was great for us."
Hollie Anderson - Strategic Alliances Manager, Public Sector Cloud, World Wide Technology (WWT - USA)
"The simple fact of working on a practical case and not with academic study has transformed our learning, our way of seeing AI. You can engage the technical team, they take certifications, do the laboratories. But the commercial learning that this brought was the most important, it even became a Road Map. I considered the method used in the program to be very positive. I had no idea if it was going to work, but it did"
Sandro Mechi - Solutions Architect at OST (Brazil)
"The program is very interesting, very cool. We are happy to have AWS with this type of initiative. It came at a good time here in our company. It came with a salutary provocation, making us unite skills, think about innovative products, market fit and what we can do ourselves within all possibilities. You make us think beyond our means, with new architectures and other technological components to enrich our services."
Rildo Ribeiro - Data Analytics and AI Researcher at EDS BU (Brazil)
"I would like to express my gratitude to AWS for this valuable program, and especially to Alexandre for the content and presentation. Their ability to assess the team's knowledge in AI and generative AI ensured that the fundamental concepts were clear before we proceeded, which allowed the program to be tailored to our needs. The support we received in developing our go-to-market strategy and identifying a specific use case for our target market was critical. His innovative leadership and expertise really shone through, making this workshop insightful and applicable to our business"
Jackson Gorman - Associate and Solutions Architect at Infusion Points (USA)
"I want to highlight how the program has helped us build a strong foundation. It allowed us to see the steps needed to achieve our goals, which we had not fully achieved before. It's been a great experience working with you and we're excited to continue building on what we've learned."
Al Lopez - Alliance Manager at Infusion Points (USA)
"I think the main thing for me is that it gave us a set time to focus on it. I think that's been really important, especially because we've got a lot going on right now. And we're all as if we're being pulled from one side to the other. And for all of us, coming together with the same goal in mind, it's been really good, because we don't always have the opportunity to do it any other way."
Cuchulain ORourke from Digital Space (United Kingdom)
"I think the program was very positive to give a boost to the initiatives that were kind of scattered, helping to structure, organize and focus. The methodology of defining and scoring the ideas was pretty cool, as it gave us clarity on where to put our effort. I also thank Leonardo and José, because it was a great learning experience, and every time we change the platform, new ideas arise. The program encouraged us to get our hands dirty, create a case with the entire methodology, and this gives us an impetus to continue evolving and, together with the commercial area, put these ideas into practice with customers."
Felipe Palmeri - Customer Strategy and Innovation Director - Jump
"I worked a lot directly with Bedrock and was practically the architect of the model we created, always thinking about making life easier for the client and future clients. What surprised me the most was how easy it was: a lot of things I thought I would need to code from scratch were already ready in Bedrock. The creation and connection of knowledge bases, for example, was much simpler than I imagined. At first, I confess that I was afraid, because I thought I would have to build everything manually, but Bedrock brought everything ready, which made it much easier for us to achieve the expected result."
José Henrique – Developer - Jump
"I totally agree with what was said. The methodology really helps to give a direction, generating commitment and responsibility to seek deliveries. I believe that with the support of AWS, now is the time to start experimenting with real use cases, applying the principle of 'fail fast to adjust'. We already have a product, albeit embryonic, and I think it's worth bringing in a customer, even if it's on an experimental basis. It is important to put this MVP into practice and improve, preventing good ideas from stalling. It would be interesting to do this together with the customer, taking advantage of the relationship to extract value."
Roberto Pinho – Solution & Growth Manager - Jump
Testimonials from some of our consulting customers from the
AWS Profitabililty TTM (Targeted Transformation Module)
"The Profitability program was important to us because the commercial aspect has always been a challenge for us. And this program will show you ways to increase your margins in what you already do, or by adopting some additional elements. We were able to commercialize a tool that we already used. That was interesting for us. Productizing, creating a product from something we already did. That was important to us. Our business model was always based on man-hours. And then we were able to create some packages in which we could take advantage of efficiency and thus achieve slightly better margins."
Heitor Cunha - CEO of Codebit (Brazil)
Testimonials from some of our consulting customers from the
AWS CEE TTM (Targeted Transformation Module)
"The CEE workshop brought us important knowledge and we were able to improve cloud processes and projects. The partnership with AWS has been fundamental to the improve the success of our cloud services."
Maurício Costa Melo - CEO of Techne (Brazil)
"Thank you for the TTM CEE workshop, it has been a great program for the NCLOUD3 team. Through the best practices and frameworks shared, it gives us the right guidance to strengthen our organizational processes and governance across the different functional areas. As we further adopt and implement the CEE, we also look forward to having the opportunity to participate in the other TTM modules”
Anwar Musa - COO of NCLOUD3 (United Arab Emirates)
"We are very happy with the insights shared and the perfect timing as we are working on building offers for the APN. The CEE helped to create a united front for process changes, avoiding rework due to the convergence of issues."
Rafael Canto - CTO of KXP Consulting (Brazil)
“The AWS GenAI TTM Workshop was a game-changer for the Human Services practice area at PCG. It helped us align our understanding of the available AI technologies and facilitated productive discussions. We were able to list about ten use cases, narrow down two to focus on, and even identify one for which we want to build a proof of concept. The workshop provided us with enough material to write specifications for the POC and helped us draft an initial business case. Additionally, having a non-PCG person validate our understanding of the problem was invaluable. We highly recommend this workshop to any team looking to deepen their AI expertise and drive innovation”
Rupam Chokshi - Product Leader - Public Consulting Group (USA)
"The workshop has allowed us to assess the state of our operation against a very coherent and structured framework. From that assessment, we have identified opportunities for improvement and elements that must be aligned to achieve our strategic objectives as AWS Distributors. Our thanks go to Jorge, as our consultant in this workshop, for presenting us with this framework and solving our doubts"
Víctor Ledezma - Business Developer & Cloud Consultant at Licencias Online (Mexico)
"It was a very detailed workshop with all the steps needed to do an agile implementation of the CEE"
Katy Alcoser - Partner Development Manager at Kyndryl (Peru)
"We are very happy to achieve AWS Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) and Cloud Enablement Engine (CEE) accreditation! This achievement is the result of Advance's extensive support and AWS's know-how, which enabled a comprehensive and rich accreditation process. Gotobiz is committed to evolving its cloud managed services practices by following AWS best practices. We express affection and gratitude to our partner Advance and to AWS for leading Gotobiz in this achievement"
Ana Cristina Pochmann Mairesse - Director of Gotobiz (Brazil)
"Attending the Cloud Enablement Engine (CEE) workshop was a transformative experience for me and my team. Deepening our understanding of CEE and how to apply best practices was key to optimizing our operation and maximizing the benefits of the cloud. The insights shared by Advance's experts gave us a clear vision of the way forward and empowered us to deal with challenges more assertively. We are excited to apply the knowledge gained and reap the rewards of this successful journey in the cloud with AWS!"
Kayo Faria - Principal at Ilia Digital (Brazil)
"The process was undoubtedly enriching, we are in a transition stage, less complex than those of other companies, but where the CEE sessions definitely helped us define the roadmap towards where we should aim and what the steps are to get there, As you can see, we have made considerable progress along those lines in the short term"
Cristhian Villalobos - AWS Business Development Architect from NW Consulting Services (Costa Rica)
"As we are a commercial company, the idea would be to strengthen the pre-sales or sales area with the CEE to package solutions or in some way to sell migration services. The message from the CEE was clear. I would say that we are going to focus on two or three services. Something no less important that we have not mentioned is that a large percentage of our clients are from the government sector, it is a client that buys consulting, and there is a lot to migrate, to digitize, there is a lot to do. It is up to us to review the CEE to have all the services very well structured, managed and trained to be able to value our solutions"
Óscar Gomez - Sales Manager of Ram&Mar (Peru)
"The idea is to start the CEE with an existing pilot project of SAP workload migration to AWS, which is something very involved with our business. In the end, it is much more practical to have something concrete in which Rodrigo will be accompanying this implementation, so there you see the specific case where both, theory and practice are applied. We can start CEE at this moment with this scenario. We have a very interesting scenario because the client takes part of its ERP to AWS, the other part is kept on-premises. S/HANA moves to AWS and ECC remains on-premises"
Manuel Pineda - Director Foundational Solutions of Neoris (Colombia)
"It was interesting. The leader of all this is Oscar and I am going to validate the topic with him. I am going to share this new approach with him and if there are concerns, we will ask you for a new session later. I am also going to involve the person in charge of the entire technical area, and I will tell you if they also have concerns, but so far, we think the program is very good"
Carolina Sandoval - sales analyst of PWC (Colombia)
"The cool aspect of the workshop is that everything is put together, that is, in the end this information could be found in a year or two years of studying, but when everything is put together in the CEE workshop, you dedicate yourself to follow the guidance. We have the advantage that we worked with a certified partner who had a lot of experience and we have replicated their experience, for example, with everything well-architected, adoption of AWS Organizations to manage separate accounts. We already had a knowledge base"
Noel Hidalgo - CTO da Latin America Mobile (El Salvador)
"There are two points of the CEE. The first is a company that is adopting to transform its IT organization from an on-premises model to the cloud. On-premises concepts with cloud concepts change radically. You have a generation that does not move to the new and is left behind, so there is a consulting opportunity on how to lead the organization to become mature and able to develop and have control of its digital transformation to the cloud. From the internal point of view of Dataworks, therefore, there is a portion that we adopt within what is our policy as such, but in the services we offer, we see that within the CEE methodology there is a margin of opportunities that we as consultants we can put into our way of working and leverage on this topic, seems super positive to me"
Fernis Bulmez - Director of Dataworks (Puerto Rico)
"I believe that the CEE is more than anything in the structure in how we are being formed and how we are compatible to, let's say, reach AWS with clients; how to communicate certain things, for example through marketing; how we are going to communicate certain topics and in the sales part also through pre-sales services; how we are structured and shape it so that AWS also knows us and sees how we are structured in a certain way; how we are going to offer our services during a demand generation engine calendar, post it there on the page that we are going to accommodate it as well"
Sandra Pacheco - Sales and Marketing Manager - BWIT (Peru)
"This workshop has provided us with a lot of information and now we need to form the team to complete the first pillar. I believe that this is my mission now to carry out this idea by seeking personal development in a more correct way at the organizational level and then work on each of the six pillars. It seems super important and necessary to me to manage this method provided by AWS to become successful with the services. We have sincerely been very lucky in obtaining important clients and acquiring the experience of the CEE is going to help us a little more with the route of services"
Ricardo Azofeita - Cloud Consultant - PC Central (Costa Rica)
"The workshop added a lot of value, especially in terms of structuring the team and developing pilot projects. It was very valuable, full of content, it was very well presented"
Alex Borges Braga - Artificial Intelligence Analyst - Instituto Euvaldo Lodi (Brazil)
"When we started developing our partnership with AWS, we invested quite some time with the Partner Network. This investment happens in daily actions, in order to guide and accelerate the journey that we will have ahead in the construction of cloud-based services and solutions. In this context, the CEE Workshop was fundamental, not only to understand the path already trodden, but also to analyze and define the next steps in consolidating our partnership with AWS"
Rodrigo Diego Binda - Management support of Cast Group (Brazil)
"I would like to thank the CEE Workshop we had. It was important to have an overview of the steps and areas that should be involved in the implementation process. Certainly, the implementation will be part of our growth strategy as AWS partner"
Ricardo Vinicius de Godoi - Sales director of Compwire (Brazil)
"The workshop was very well explained. The information was presented in a coherent and organized manner. The presenter demonstrated knowledge on the subject."
Jonathan Acevedo - CEO of Citriom (Puerto Rico)
"I would like to thank the team that organized the CEE workshop for the excellent experience I had during the event. The workshop was highly informative and provided valuable knowledge and insights on the latest trends in cloud engineering and best practices in AWS. It demonstrated a deep knowledge on the subject and all questions were answered. Furthermore, the interactive session and practical examples further enriched my understanding and provided me with tools that I can apply in my daily work. I am very satisfied with my experience in the workshop and I would recommend it to anyone interested in improving their skills and knowledge regarding cloud and AWS architecture. I look forward to future learning and collaboration opportunities with the team behind this workshop."
Agustina D'Amico - AWS Alliance Manager from EUDA (Argentina)
"The CEE workshop has positively propelled DNX's organizational initiatives. With a more efficient structure, we are ready to debut as a Premier Consulting Partner, a recent achievement that opens doors for us in the public sector. We firmly believe that we can contribute to efficient public policies through technology. We express our sincere gratitude to AWS and Advance Consulting for their constant support. The timing couldn't be better"
Camila Moura current member of Cloud Enablement Engine at Dnx Brasil
"The CEE workshop has highlighted the importance of structuring our company with multidisciplinary teams for us to achieve the operational and cultural changes and to succeed in the cloud business together with the AWS. We have already started our cadence with all the company leaders to build our cloud business. The impact of this initiative is enormous, and undoubtedly the insights were valuable"
Hermenegildo Cavalcanti - Director of Taking (Brazil)
"I believe that everything that was shared with us during the workshop will be fundamental to our development. We are on an initial journey with AWS and aim to evolve together, expanding our offerings for our customers and seeking greater market space. We have already begun to train our team through certifications, but with the vision provided by CEE, we will be able to organize and further accelerate our initiatives. I would like to thank you for today's workshop, it was very valuable for us"
Rafael Capua - Delivery Director of Jump Label Solutions (Brazil)
"I found the form and content of the presentation to be excellent. I think the workshop fits very well with what we are planning for our growth. Having the support of Dagoberto and AWS in this evolution is fundamental to the success of our company and of us as professionals"
Fabio Yoshika - Commercial Director of NextPage (Brazil)
"I found the workshop very valuable, showing how we should transition from being a customer to becoming an AWS partner, and how to structure our company to do this work efficiently and aligned with expectations and standards required by AWS. The structure of the training is very good, with important content to implement safely in our company"
Felipe Augusto - Technical Director of NextPage (Brazil)
"The workshop was important to answer some of the questions and troubles we had. The content was easy to absorb. It was a simple and effective way to pass on the information. Perfect"
Maurício Yoshika - Chief Operating Officer of NextPage (Brazil)
"Many customers recognize the importance of the cloud, but report having spent much more money than planned. It is necessary to have a proactive vision and bring to the client the idea that the company is much more mature and can help to control the cloud operation in a sophisticated way. In general, it is necessary to see opportunities in the midst of challenges and always be willing to adapt to meet the needs of projects and clients"
Antonio Carlos Canova - Strategic Partner Manager of Math Group (Brazil)
