AWS Funding Credits & Cost Optimization Support
Save over 25% on your cloud costs by leveraging credits from various AWS Funding Programs. At IAMOPS, we take full responsibility for helping you navigate and apply for these funding opportunities, ensuring you get the most value out of AWS Cloud Credits. Whether you’re migrating workloads to AWS or creating new, significant workloads, our team will help you secure the credits needed to lower your cloud expenses and scale affordably.
Cloud costs can pile up fast, especially when you’re scaling. IAMOPS helps you leverage AWS funding credits through focused programs such as the Proof of Concept (PoC) credits, the Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), and IW (ISV Workload) funding—each designed to support infrastructure build-outs and workload migrations. These credits can be applied to run workloads, build prototypes, or scale production environments—helping you move faster while controlling spend.
As a recognized AWS Partner with access to these programs, IAMOPS ensures end-to-end credit lifecycle support—from identifying eligible funding streams to technical and financial planning, execution, and optimization. Our dedicated FinOps team works with scaling tech companies to align cloud credits with your DevOps, product, and finance priorities, so you can accelerate delivery, sustain value across environments, and maintain visibility over spend.
