Why are Panamanian companies migrating to AWS?

Panama has become a prime technological hub in the Americas. Companies operating in the country are integrating innovative solutions into their daily processes, notably through the use of Amazon Web Services, or AWS.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is described as "the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally."

Implementation of AWS in Panamanian Companies

In this context, many Panamanian companies have opted to migrate their operations to the cloud, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) being one of the most prominent providers. This trend has been supported by specialized agencies and AWS partners in Panama, who offer solutions tailored to local needs.

Benefits of Migrating to AWS

1. Reduced Operational Costs

Migrating to AWS significantly reduces operational costs. Studies estimate an average 31% reduction in operational expenses when adopting AWS cloud solutions. This is due to the elimination of costs associated with physical infrastructure and AWS’s pay-as-you-go pricing model.

2. Scalability and Flexibility

AWS offers scalable infrastructure that allows companies to adjust their resources based on demand. This is particularly beneficial for growing businesses or those with fluctuating needs, enabling them to scale without incurring significant additional costs.

3. Security and Compliance

Security is a top priority for AWS, which provides multiple layers of protection including data encryption, firewalls, and continuous monitoring. Moreover, AWS complies with various international standards and regulations, ensuring Panamanian companies can operate securely in the cloud.

4. Innovation and Access to Advanced Technologies

AWS offers a wide range of services and tools that allow companies to innovate and adopt emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics. This facilitates the creation of customized solutions and improvements in internal processes.

Success Stories in Panama

The adoption of AWS in Panama has been backed by success stories that demonstrate the tangible benefits of cloud migration.

National Authority for Government Innovation (AIG)

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the AIG faced the challenge of ensuring availability of applications and the website supporting the Panama Solidarity Plan. With AWS's help, the agency rapidly deployed a cloud-based solution that supported more than 1.3 million Panamanian families.
