In today’s competitive landscape, labs must adapt to dynamic conditions, streamline data management and meet the increasing demand for efficiency. Modernising with AWS empowers labs to keep up with these demands while improving data integrity, accessibility and security. In this post, we’ll explore how AWS’s Migrate and Modernise approach can transform your lab’s operations.
Understanding the two stages of digital transformation
No two digital transformations are the same. But, by helping thousands of organisations successfully transform, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has seen distinct patterns emerge. Many AWS customers have found it beneficial to break the larger digital transformation effort into two stages: application modernisation and IT modernisation.
Application modernisation leverages cloud native systems and services to drive a new iterative and agile way of harnessing data and developing applications. Labs can take advantage of cloud native systems and agile processes to manage data more effectively and enable intelligent insights. This stage helps labs iterate faster on research and analysis workflows.
IT modernisation involves transforming legacy systems, processes, workloads and infrastructure as you migrate to the cloud. Moving away from outdated systems enhances your lab’s ability to handle complex datasets, scale operations and optimise resources. This stage will be the primary focus of this blog.
Read on to discover how your organisation can realise the associated benefits on your path toward digital transformation.
The benefits of IT modernisation with AWS
When you modernise your IT with AWS, you gain better business agility and control over your applications, data and infrastructure. You’ll reduce costs in a number of ways. And you’ll gain easier access to critical data—allowing you to uncover business insights faster and take advantage of more opportunities for growth.
Discover multiple avenues for cost savings
IT modernisation drives down infrastructure costs, with the average organisation saving 31% by migrating and modernising with AWS. Further savings can be realised by reducing or eliminating costs associated with licensing, software patches, maintenance, and capacity and infrastructure upgrades.
Many labs have achieved considerable cost savings by migrating and modernising with AWS. The cloud enables you to allocate resources more flexibly, focusing on high-impact areas rather than hardware management.
Transform Your Lab’s Capabilities Through Data
Digital transformation truly begins when you go beyond what you do with your apps and differentiate yourself with data insights. The employee, customer and transactional data you’ve gathered over years or decades can help you stand out, serving as the foundation for innovation and competitive differentiation at your organisation. Labs can leverage this data more effectively, uncovering patterns, optimising workflows and enhancing innovation.
Driving modernisation through migration
Migrating lab data to AWS is an opportunity to overhaul how your lab approaches data management and workflows. This migration includes preparing your team for cloud-based skills, automating repetitive tasks and implementing DevOps practices to boost operational efficiency.
