Modernize. Accelerate. Transform.

Launch Centers are the unique partnership between Amazon Web Services and Slalom designed to tackle the toughest technology challenges facing forward-looking companies today.

The challenge

When it comes to digital transformation, many companies are simply stuck.

As cloud capabilities upend the status quo, opportunities – as well as disruptions – are confronting organizational progress head on. And for the past few years, they’ve been countering with digital transformation efforts that haven’t shown success fast enough. Almost half of all businesses are stuck, largely due to some pretty common pitfalls.

What’s holding them back?

Missing a viable strategy

Hyper focused on technology rather than business outcomes

Lack of organizational alignment

Issues with their legacy operating model

Missing specific technical capabilities

Lacking team bandwidth or expertise

Companies are learning that becoming a digital, cloud-native organization isn’t just slinging buzzwords or deploying technology. But instead, it’s about making real, lasting organizational changes that can drive value, both now and into the future.
