CBTS Achieves AWS Migration and Modernization Competency Status

AWS recognizes CBTS for technical depth and track record helping clients modernize for cloud and AI

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CBTS, a leading North American technology services company, announced today that it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Migration and Modernization Competency status for AWS Partners.

AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help organizations identify AWS Partners with deep industry experience and expertise. This designation recognizes that CBTS has demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success by automating and accelerating customer application migration and modernization journeys.

Lower costs, faster cycles, and applications ready for AI

Achieving the AWS Migration and Modernization Competency differentiates CBTS as an AWS Partner with deep domain expertise delivering software products that help customers embrace cloud and application transformation, reducing licensing costs, optimizing operational costs, and improving performance, agility, and resiliency. The AWS Migration and Modernization Competency takes on the heavy lifting of identifying and validating industry leaders with proven customer success and technical proficiency in migration and application modernization tooling.

"Migration gets organizations onto AWS. Modernization is what makes the investment pay off," said Justin Rice, Chief Product & Technology Officer, CBTS. "The organizations who do both come out with lower costs, faster development cycles, and applications that are built to take advantage of AI. Our AWS competency reflects the depth of technical expertise CBTS brings to our clients across data architecture, security, and the full application lifecycle."

30 years of infrastructure expertise, applied to what's next

Most modernization projects are stalled by data that was never structured for cloud workloads, security gaps that only appear at scale, and infrastructure that wasn't built for what AI demands. CBTS takes clients from portfolio assessment through cloud-native migration, development, and ongoing management — helping clients build on AWS in a way that is ready for AI from the start.

What CBTS clients achieve with AWS

CBTS clients that combine migration and modernization on AWS with CBTS report measurable results across cost, speed, and AI readiness:

• Licensing costs reduced by up to 77% through legacy application rationalization before migration.
• Cloud operational costs cut by 60% through workload right-sizing and cloud-native redesign.
• Development cycle times shortened by 45% following containerization and DevOps automation.
• Legacy applications modernized, enabling production AI workloads within 12 months of go-live.
