1. Guaranteed, immediate savings — no long-term commitment required
Mission's Instant Discount Program (IDP) delivers guaranteed, immediate savings on your monthly AWS bill without requiring a long-term contract. IDP is included with both of our managed services offerings and pairs with proactive cost optimization guidance and governance. No equivalent program exists within DoiT's platform model.
2. RI commitment risk transfer through Reserved Instance Operations (RIO)
Commitment-based discounts—Reserved Instances and Savings Plans—offer some of the deepest AWS savings available, but they carry real risk when usage changes. Mission's Reserved Instance Operations program (RIO) is built for this: we design a custom strategy and purchase Reserved Instances and Savings Plans on your behalf, so there's no contractual commitment or upfront capital on your end. As your usage evolves, you're not stuck managing exposure from a strategy that no longer fits.
3. AWS Cross-Service Private Pricing Agreement expertise
AWS's Cross-Service Private Pricing Agreement (PPA) can deliver substantial flat-rate discounts in exchange for a long-term commitment—and getting it right requires accurate forecasting, usage optimization ahead of commitment, and careful negotiation. Mission brings hands-on expertise supporting customers through this process from initial modeling to final agreement.
4. Deep AWS specialization, not cloud generalism
DoiT supports AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Azure — and brings qualified experts across all three. Mission is AWS-only by design, which means our team is built entirely around AWS depth: certifications, best practices, service-specific expertise, and a direct relationship with AWS that surfaces faster answers and better outcomes in complex environments. When your challenge is specifically AWS, a team of specialists will outperform a team of generalists, every time.
5. One partner across the full scope of AWS work
DoiT's model is consultative and enablement-oriented — structured engagements designed to help your team arrive at production-readiness, with knowledge transfer and guidance as the primary output. That's valuable for some use cases, but it's a fundamentally different model from owning delivery.
Mission offers comprehensive managed services for cost optimization, support, operations, and security — and flexible engagement models for hands-on work at any scope, from targeted DevOps tasks to long-term modernization programs to large-scale project delivery. Whatever comes after cost optimization, Mission can staff and own it rather than advise on it. That means the context, the relationship, and the accountability carry forward without re-vetting a new vendor.
6. AWS depth, not multi-cloud breadth
Mission is intentionally AWS-only. That means our partnership with AWS runs deeper — access to direct AWS collaboration, funding programs, and partnership resources that multi-cloud partners aren't positioned to unlock. It also means one less layer of generalist overhead between you and the answer to your AWS question.
7. CDW's resources and reach behind every engagement
In 2024, Mission became CDW's dedicated AWS practice — combining Mission's deep AWS expertise with the scale of a $20B+ IT solutions company. For customers, this means access to a wealth of CDW resources across cloud, hybrid infrastructure, networking, security, and on-premises environments. It also opens the door to genuine vendor consolidation: if your IT environment extends beyond AWS, CDW can support the broader picture under one partner relationship. That kind of stability and breadth is difficult to replicate with a focused, PE-backed platform provider.
8. End-to-end AWS partnership when you need it
Cost optimization is frequently the starting point, not the destination. Once spend is under control, teams often need a trusted partner for what comes next — application modernization, cloud migrations, data platforms, or generative AI. Because Mission covers the full AWS lifecycle, you can expand the engagement without re-vetting a new vendor or re-establishing context every time your priorities shift.
