AWS Optimization and
Licensing Assessment (OLA)

The AWS OLA is a no-cost programme that helps healthcare organisations understand their current on-premises infrastructure and software licensing posture.

  • No-cost assessment led by AWS specialists
  • Deep analysis of on-premises compute and storage
  • Microsoft and other licence optimisation recommendations
  • Tailored right-sizing and modernisation roadmap
  • Actionable cost-saving report delivered within weeks

Uncover Hidden Savings
Many healthcare organisations carry significant unused licence costs and over-provisioned infrastructure. The OLA gives you a clear, evidence-based picture of what you're spending today and what you could save by moving to AWS — with zero upfront cost to engage.

AWS Security Health
Improvement Programme (SHIP)

SHIP is a structured engagement designed to evaluate and strengthen the security posture of healthcare organisations running on AWS.

  • AWS security posture review against best practices
  • Well-Architected Security Pillar deep-dive
  • DSPT and Cyber Essentials Plus alignment
  • Prioritised risk findings with remediation guidance
  • Ongoing support to implement improvements

Security Built for Healthcare
Patient data protection is non-negotiable. SHIP helps NHS and healthcare organisations identify vulnerabilities before they become incidents, with a practical remediation roadmap that aligns security investment to the highest areas of risk — giving your CISO and board the confidence they need.

Architecture Best Practice

AWS Well-Architected
Framework Review (WAFR)

The AWS Well-Architected Framework Review is a structured assessment that evaluates your cloud workloads against AWS architectural best practices across six pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimisation, and sustainability. For healthcare organisations, a dedicated Healthcare Industry Lens extends the framework with specific guidance on clinical workloads, patient data protection, and regulatory compliance — with NHS England using it at scale to review critical national services.

  • Assessment across all six Well-Architected pillars
  • Healthcare Industry Lens for clinical and NHS workloads
  • Identification of high, medium, and low risk issues
  • Prioritised improvement plan with remediation steps
  • Ongoing reviews to track progress over time

NHS England Proven
NHS England used the Well-Architected Framework Review to assess 10 critical national services in 2023, developing reusable templates that transformed how their Cloud Centre of Excellence identifies and resolves common architectural risks. If it works at that scale for NHS England, it can work for your organisation too.

Move Beyond Lift-and-Shift
Many healthcare organisations migrate to the cloud only to carry their legacy complexity with them. The Modernisation Assessment ensures you have a clear, evidence-based plan to transform your applications — not just move them — so you can reduce running costs, improve resilience, and deliver better outcomes for patients and staff.
