ICYMI: Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEO Matt Garman took the stage yesterday at AWS re:Invent to share how they are innovating across every aspect of the world's leading cloud. AWS is actually reinventing the foundational building blocks of modern cloud computing. ☁️ How does this impact manufacturing? For years, manufacturers have struggled to modernize from customized legacy systems to cloud native platforms. This is why QAD | Redzone turned to AWS Transform — to bring modernization engagements that would traditionally take a minimum of two weeks to complete down to under three days.

How do you fix the slow parts of the after-sales process? Some aspects of the process move quickly. Others are still weighed down by manual steps that can make things more complicated than they need to be. Darrin Lucas, Director of After-Sales Supply Chain Operations at Nissan Motor Corporation North America, explains how they’re shifting toward AI forecasting, predictive analytics, and real-time dashboards to spot demand earlier and keep parts moving. They’re working to reduce manual work inside their distribution centers and introduce more automation, a shift Darrin says will help their operations keep up with what customers need today.

Modernization just got a major upgrade. With the new agent-driven enhancements to AWS Transform, legacy Windows and .NET applications — including SQL Server back-ends — can now be transformed into cloud-native, open-source infrastructure up to 5× faster, while cutting maintenance and license costs by as much as 70%. What used to take months (or years) can now be automated with scalable, consistent, high-quality results, freeing teams from tech debt so they can focus on real innovation. If your organization is still wrestling with legacy applications, this could be the game-changer. 🔗 bit.ly/4iDjTKc #AWSTransform #Modernization #AWS #ReInvent2025
