GE continues migration in cloud-first approach
to digital transformation
Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company
(NASDAQ: AMZN), announced that General Electric (NYSE: GE) has
selected AWS as its preferred cloud provider. GE continues to
migrate thousands of core applications to AWS. GE began an
enterprise-wide migration in 2014, and today many GE businesses,
including GE Power, GE Aviation, GE Healthcare, GE Transportation,
and GE Digital, run many of their cloud applications on AWS. Over
the past few years, GE migrated more than 2,000 applications,
several of which leverage AWS’s analytics and machine learning
services.
“Adopting a cloud-first strategy with AWS is helping our IT
teams get out of the business of building and running data centers
and refocus our resources on innovation as we undergo one of the
largest and most important transformations in GE’s history,” said
Chris Drumgoole, Chief Technology Officer and Corporate Vice
President at General Electric. “We chose AWS as the preferred cloud
provider for GE because AWS’s industry leading cloud services have
allowed us to push the boundaries, think big, and deliver better
outcomes for GE.”
“Enterprises across industries are migrating to AWS in droves,
and in the process are discovering the wealth of new opportunities
that open up when they have the most comprehensive menu of cloud
capabilities–which is growing daily–at their fingertips,” said Mike
Clayville, Vice President, Worldwide Commercial Sales at AWS. “GE
has been at the forefront of cloud adoption, and we’ve been
impressed with the pace, scope, and innovative approach they’ve
taken in their journey to AWS. We are honored that GE has chosen
AWS as their preferred cloud provider, and we’re looking forward to
helping them as they continue their digital industrial
transformation.”
