Simplify Your AWS Cloud Migration & leverage AWS' Funding Programs to Support Your Business

Schools may be reopening, but the digital transformation catalysed by the pandemic is gaining momentum across South Africa. For education technology (EdTech) companies and educational content publishers, there are huge opportunities to scale.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud enables EdTech companies to accelerate development of scalable and secure technology.

First Distribution, in collaboration with MFT, AWS and ITWeb, invite you to this webinar to learn how to deploy solutions and content in the cloud securely, scalably and cost-effectively.

Discover AWS marketing and funding programmes which EdTechs can leverage to migrate workloads of interest to the cloud, including AWS Proof of Concept Credits, issued upon the estimation and approval of your AWS workload, via the AWS Pricing Calculator, and technical assistance provided by AWS & MFT, to ensure that your AWS cloud workload is built according to best practice, as per the Well-Architected Review.

You will also learn how to broaden your market reach by becoming an AWS partner, through the ISV Partner Path. Earn a “reviewed by AWS” solution badge and Co-sell with AWS.
