AWS Consulting Services

AWS migrations rarely fail on the technology. They fail when right-sizing, IaC, and FinOps are addressed after go-live instead of in the design. Newronium delivers all three from day one, with senior architects and engineers working from Portugal.

Problems we solve

A migration plan that stops at lift-and-shift

Moving virtual machines to EC2 without re-architecting is not a cloud strategy, it is a more expensive on-premises setup. More than 80% of on-premises workloads are overprovisioned, according to TSO Logic research. Without right-sizing, re-platforming, and workload-level architecture decisions, the cloud bill grows and the expected cost savings do not materialise.

AWS environments that are expensive to run and hard to audit

Untagged resources, unused reservations, sprawling IAM permissions, and environments built without IaC are the standard result of migrations delivered under time pressure. The estate becomes difficult to govern, costly to optimise, and risky to change. We build from the start with tagging policy, cost allocation, and Terraform-managed infrastructure that is auditable from day one.

Data that lands in S3 and goes nowhere useful

Many organisations move data to AWS without designing the analytics layer that makes it actionable. Redshift sits underutilised. Glue jobs run but nobody trusts the output. Athena queries timeout. We design the data platform alongside the infrastructure, so the move to AWS produces insight, not just storage.

Security and compliance left until after go-live

In regulated industries, IAM policy, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, and network segmentation are not optional extras. They are go-live requirements. When security is an afterthought, remediating post-migration costs significantly more than building it in from the start. Our AWS consulting engagements treat security as part of the architecture, not a separate workstream.

Outcomes

What enterprise teams achieve when AWS migration and operations are delivered by practitioners who have done this before. Measured against your specific architecture and cost targets.

TCO Reductions of Up to 40%

Organisations that migrate to AWS with proper right-sizing and architecture can reduce total cost of ownership by up to 40%. AWS right-sizing alone saves an average of 36% on compute costs. We build the cost visibility that makes ongoing optimisation possible, not just the initial migration.

Infrastructure That is Reproducible and Auditable

Every environment provisioned from Terraform or AWS CDK. Tagged, documented, version-controlled. Changes reviewed like code, rolled back without incident. No configuration drift between environments. No undocumented resources discovered during a security review.

AWS Environments Your Team Can Operate

We build with handover in mind from day one. Architecture decision records, runbooks, Terraform module documentation, and operational playbooks ensure your engineers can take ownership confidently when the engagement closes, or when AWS releases a new service that changes the design.

Faster Delivery on AWS

CI/CD pipelines on AWS, using CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and ArgoCD on EKS, reduce the time from code commit to production deployment. Teams migrating from manual deployments typically reach daily or on-demand release frequency within three to four months of starting an AWS DevOps consulting engagement.

Where We Shine

Five reasons mid-size and large enterprises choose Newronium for AWS cloud consulting services.
01 | Execution first

We deliver, not just assess

Our AWS consultants and engineers stay through migration, architecture build, and go-live, not only the assessment phase. We are accountable for a working environment, not a recommendations document.
02 | Full AWS stack

Migration, DevOps, data, and security in one team

Most amazon AWS consulting services split infrastructure, data, and security across separate practices. We bring them together: migration architects, DevOps engineers, data platform specialists, and security engineers working from the same delivery track.
03 | Nearshore

Portugal-based delivery hub

Senior AWS expertise at rates below UK, Swiss, and German SI benchmarks. Same time zone as the rest of Europe. No offshore communication gaps or delayed feedback cycles.
04 | FinOps by design

Cost visibility built into the architecture

We do not hand over an expensive AWS bill with a note to optimise later. Tagging policy, cost allocation, right-sizing recommendations, and savings plan modelling are part of the delivery scope on every engagement.
05 | Lean structure

Fast decisions, direct access to senior engineers

Smaller governance overhead means faster decisions, direct access to the architects doing the work, and consultant mobilisation measured in days rather than months.

Discuss your AWS challenge

Built for Teams Running Enterprise AWS Programmes

Whether you are planning a first migration, optimising a poorly architected estate, or scaling a data platform on AWS, our services adapt to where your programme is.

IT Directors and CIOs

Responsible for the cloud strategy and accountable for the outcomes. Need an AWS consulting partner who will deliver cost reductions and increased agility, not just provide advice on how to achieve them.

Heads of Technology Programmes

Running cloud migration or modernisation programmes where AWS is the primary platform. Need a team that delivers against a defined scope without creating coordination overhead for the broader programme.

Engineering Leads and Cloud Platform Teams

Have the architectural vision but not the internal capacity to execute it alongside BAU. Need experienced AWS engineers who can pair with their team, follow their standards, and leave behind working infrastructure and documentation.

Procurement and Vendor Managers

Sourcing AWS cloud consulting services for a defined programme of work. Need a partner with transparent pricing, credible delivery references, and the flexibility to scale consultant numbers up or down as the programme progresses.

Data and Analytics Leaders

Building or migrating a data platform to AWS, including Redshift, Glue, Lake Formation, Athena, or Kinesis. Need data engineers who understand the AWS services and can design pipelines that produce reliable output, not just land data in S3.

Multi-country and multi-account enterprises

Running AWS environments across multiple accounts, regions, and business units. Need AWS consulting partner services with the governance experience to design a landing zone, implement AWS Control Tower, and manage cross-account security policies at scale.

How an AWS Consulting Engagement Works

Architecture Assessment

Before moving a single workload, we map the environment, dependencies and target architecture.

Architecture Assessment and Migration Planning

Before moving a single workload, we analyse the environment. We assess your current infrastructure and application portfolio, workload suitability for migration approaches (rehost, replatform, re-architect), security and compliance requirements for the target environment, data architecture and analytics requirements, and cost baseline and TCO reduction targets. The result is a migration plan and architecture recommendation grounded in your actual estate, not a generic playbook.

Delivery

Two-week sprints with defined outputs and review against architecture and cost targets.

Delivery

We execute against the agreed migration plan in two-week sprints. Each sprint has a defined output (migrated workloads, provisioned infrastructure, configured services) and a review against the architecture and cost targets. Infrastructure is built as code from the first sprint, not retrofitted at the end.

Handover and Ongoing Operations

Before the engagement closes, we ensure your team can operate, extend, and optimise what we have built. This includes Terraform module documentation, architecture decision records, runbooks, and a final cost review. For clients who want ongoing support, we offer managed AWS operations under defined SLAs.

Results

Three AWS programmes where Newronium consultants delivered migrations, built data platforms, or stabilised cloud operations for enterprise clients.
Financial Services · AWS Data Platform Migration

Multi-entity financial group

A financial services client needed to migrate their on-premises data warehouse to AWS and build a modern analytics layer on top of it. The existing environment had data quality issues that had blocked previous migration attempts. Newronium designed the target architecture on Redshift and AWS Glue, resolved the data quality issues during migration, and delivered a working analytics platform within five months.

Manufacturing · AWS EKS Platform

Multinational manufacturing group

A manufacturing client required a container platform on AWS to support the migration of 30+ microservices from a legacy hosting environment. Newronium designed and provisioned an EKS cluster using Terraform, integrated with CodePipeline for CI/CD, and implemented GitOps deployment with ArgoCD. The platform was delivered in four months and now operates without external dependency.

Retail · AWS FinOps and Cost Optimisation

Large European retailer

A large retailer had migrated to AWS 18 months earlier but was spending significantly more than budgeted, with limited visibility into which workloads were driving costs. Newronium ran a FinOps engagement: tagging all resources, building a cost allocation dashboard in AWS Cost Explorer, right-sizing EC2 and RDS instances, and implementing Savings Plans for predictable workloads. The client reduced their monthly AWS spend by 31% within three months.

FAQs About AWS Consulting Services

Direct answers to the questions buyers ask before engaging an AWS consulting partner.

What are AWS consulting services?

AWS consulting services cover the full range of work required to design, build, migrate to, and operate environments on Amazon Web Services. This includes migration planning and execution, infrastructure-as-code, DevOps and CI/CD on AWS, data platform design, security architecture, FinOps, and ongoing managed operations.

How long does an AWS migration typically take?

A targeted workload migration (moving a defined set of applications to AWS) typically takes two to four months. A broader platform migration covering multiple workloads, regions, or accounts usually runs over four to nine months. The timeline depends on the number of workloads, their complexity, and the degree of re-architecture required.

How much do AWS consulting services cost?

Newronium's pricing depends on the engagement model: time-and-materials for exploratory or evolving work, fixed-price for defined deliverables, or a monthly team rate for dedicated squad arrangements. We do not publish fixed rate cards, but we are transparent about pricing once we understand the scope. Our nearshore rates are significantly below large SI benchmarks.
