Announces the launch of a new offering, Cloud Value Acceleration
Bain & Company enhanced its strategic relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) with the launch of a new offering, Cloud Value Acceleration, designed to help clients realize even more business value from the cloud and secure higher returns on their investments.
This new offering combines Bain’s insights and expertise in business strategy and economics, operating models, next generation technologies and change management with AWS’s deep capabilities in cloud services, advanced analytics, automation, and artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), including generative AI. Together, Bain and AWS are delivering immediate impact to clients, as they implement next generation solutions that meet their critical business needs and better serve their customers. Through Cloud Value Acceleration, Bain is helping clients harness the power of the AWS cloud to unlock further value.
“While the cloud is recognized by many as a critical business enabler, our research and experience shows that more than 90% of enterprises can drive significantly more business value from cloud – in fact many are still relatively early on in their cloud journeys”

Both organizations brought a wealth of capabilities and experience and worked seamlessly with us.”
