Secure Cloud Migration
The 92nd Street Y (92Y), a nonprofit cultural and community center in New York City, experienced significant benefits after utilizing Touchstone's standard cloud migration service. They managed to reduce their IT infrastructure costs by 80%. This impressive return on investment was due to Touchstone’s exceptional migration process, honed by our skilled and experienced team. The transition from hardware to cloud for 92Y was planned to take place overnight, with experts from both Touchstone and 92Y present to ensure a seamless migration. When last-minute modifications were requested on the night of the transition, Touchstone quickly accommodated the changes, implementing a significant feature upgrade within an hour. The deployment proceeded, and production was safely rebuilt in real time, thanks to Touchstone’s professional staff following Amazon Web Services best practices. Three hours after starting, Touchstone and 92Y successfully completed the migration. Afterward, 92Y began to send a series of additional requests as they recognized how swiftly and effectively they could modify their IT environment. Eager to take advantage of these new capabilities, they continued to seek Touchstone's support for further upgrades and expansions. For instance, Touchstone quickly created a staging environment with ten EC2 instances that were made available right away. Touchstone’s ongoing commitment to 92Y was evident through our consistent support and quick responses to new requests. Our professionals adjusted existing templates as needed and provided immediate updates. Drift analytics enabled the rapid detection of unapproved changes to their environment, facilitating timely adjustments.
