ATLANTA, May 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, EPI-USE, an Advanced AWS Partner and 40-year expert in SAP, Microsoft Workloads, and AWS managed services, announced their partnership with ReluTech, a leading provider of IT solutions including third-party maintenance, hardware procurement, IT asset disposition (ITAD), and cloud migration services. The partnership allows EPI-USE clients to fund their cloud modernization by leveraging ReluTech’s comprehensive data center solutions and asset value recovery services.
EPI-USE and ReluTech’s partnership works in concert with the EPI-USE Safe Harbor, Inclusive of Passage (SHIP) Migration program. SHIP’s AWS-certified experts assess the company’s SAP landscape, build a targeted business plan, and provide the company with a proof of concept to test before moving to the cloud on AWS. ReluTech’s asset management experts work alongside EPI-USE cloud center teams to assess the value of data center assets early in the process. During the company’s cloud migration with EPI-USE, ReluTech provides maintenance support and manages the final asset disposition after deployment to the cloud.
This partnership breaks the double-bubble trap many organizations experience during their cloud migration wherein they pay for cloud services as well as the maintenance and removal of their data center assets during the migration process. Key benefits of the program include:
Combining ReluTech’s Hardware buyback and leasing options with access to AWS’s MAP funding, a client can significantly reduce the cost of their on-premises to AWS migration.Maximizing the value of legacy hardware assets through ReluTech’s IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services.Avoiding OEM vendor lock-in with flexible third-party maintenance options.Bridging the migration gap with ReluTech’s hardware rental and leasing services.Reducing data center maintenance costs during migration with ReluTech’s customizable and cost-effective maintenance plans.
The partnership between ReluTech and EPI-USE further strengthens the mutual investments between EPI-USE and AWS, building on their recent collaboration agreement that cemented the combined focus on SAP migrations to AWS. EPI-USE has affirmed their commitment to client satisfaction by providing increased funding, expertise, and excellence at every stage of the migration journey through multiple partnerships. This dedication to excellence in client services keeps pace with EPI-USE migration services like the SHIP methodology that strives to ease the burden of migration through consistent client collaboration.
“It’s a win for our clients,” said Carel Bekker, Head of AWS Services at EPI-USE AWS Services. “The addition of ReluTech IT asset lifecycle services securely and sustainably completes the data center hardware lifecycle while significantly reducing costs for our clients as they experience the unparalleled customized approach to SAP and Microsoft workload migrations and managed services we provide with our SHIP methodology.”
