Build, Migrate, and Run Confidently on Amazon Web Services
AWS Consulting and Managed Cloud Services for Growing Canadian Businesses
The Business Case for AWS
As the most widely adopted cloud platform in the world, AWS gives businesses room to grow without rebuilding their IT from scratch. The challenge isn’t the technology, it’s configuring it correctly and keeping it that way.
- Elastic Capacity That Matches Demand
Spin resources up or down as your workload changes, so you’re never paying for capacity you don’t use.
- Enterprise-Grade Security, Built In
Layered protections and access controls keep sensitive data locked down and audit-ready.
- Works With What You Already Have
Extend on-prem systems into the cloud gradually, on your timeline, not a forced all-or-nothing switch.
- Spend That Tracks Actual Usage
Ongoing rightsizing and monitoring keep your AWS bill aligned with what your business really needs.
- A Team That Sticks Around After Go-Live
Consulting doesn’t end at deployment, we keep tuning and supporting your environment.

FAQ: Common Questions About AWS
What exactly is Amazon Web Services?
AWS is Amazon’s cloud computing platform, offering on-demand servers, storage, databases, and networking that businesses use instead of running their own physical infrastructure.
We already run Microsoft 365, do we need AWS too?
Microsoft 365 covers email, productivity apps, and collaboration. AWS is infrastructure, the servers, storage, and computing power behind custom applications and systems. Many businesses use both together.
Can SFY move our current servers to AWS?
Yes. We manage the entire migration, from initial assessment through cutover, testing, and support after you’re live.
How much does AWS typically cost?
AWS bills based on actual usage rather than flat fees, which can be a benefit or a risk without oversight. We build cost controls in from the start so you’re not surprised by your monthly invoice.
Does AWS meet Canadian compliance requirements?
Yes. AWS maintains certifications like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and supports compliance with PIPEDA and provincial privacy legislation. We configure your environment to satisfy both the technical and legal side of compliance.
