Sherpa by Escape Technology

Moving workflows and workloads to AWS offers organisations many potential benefits - increased scalability, flexibility, cost savings, and more. However, the process of migrating on-premises workflows or building cloud-native platforms comes with sizeable technical hurdles and complexities. Most organisations do not have the internal DevOps, SecOps and CloudOps expertise required to provision, configure, update and maintain resources in a cloud environment. The dynamic, self-service nature of the cloud amplifies the need for governance, automation and centralised cloud management capabilities and adds to the complexity of managing such a system.

Some solutions have been offered in the past which, although they might remove an element of complexity, impose restrictions in that their application is too limited. Examples of these solutions might be, "render on-demand" solutions that only offer up cloud compute or vendor-specific solutions that only let the user run a specific application in the cloud. While highly targeted solutions can solve immediate isolated challenges, their overspecialisation becomes a longer-term bottleneck for optimised, agile cloud adoption. Open, balanced and secure solutions that provide both customisation and broad standardised capabilities are often preferable. The technical complexity involved in taking advantage of AWS forms a barrier to entry. It is challenging for small and medium-sized companies to compete with larger organisations that have the required technical capabilities and can afford the operational overhead.

Designed from the ground up by Escape Technology, Sherpa is a simple-to-use cloud-resource management tool ideally suited to creative teams looking to leverage the power of AWS. Sherpa provides a unified, user-friendly platform that empowers businesses to maximise the potential of their cloud investments while minimising operational overhead.
