Druid: Boutique Cloud Solutions for Digital Transformation

The future of enterprise systems is in the cloud. As more and more organizations come to this realization – albeit accelerated by the pandemic - the rush to move their on premises systems to the cloud is gaining momentum. However, shifting the legacy applications to the cloud is not a cakewalk owing to cumbersome processes and the security concerns plaguing these outdated systems. Besides, the in-house employees are mostly untrained to handle cloud applications, and that becomes another roadblock. Not to mention, cloud migrations are usually a costly affair, especially for startups running on limited budgets. In a nutshell, cloud migrations tend to become a major headache for organizations looking to fast forward their digital transformation – until Druid steps into the picture.

The Rio de Janeiro-based technology company with offices in São Paulo, Brazil and Orlando, US facilitates seamless cloud migrations for organizations. Founded in 1998 with a focus on developing and integrating complex, high-performance, scalable systems mostly catering to telecommunication operators and banks, Druid pivoted to enabling the digital transformation of organizations by leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources in 2016, eventually partnering with AWS in 2018. “We enable our customers to overcome the limitations of traditional on-premises applications and go to the cloud,” says Rafael Estima, CEO of Druid.

Starting as a select partner on AWS Partner Network, Druid has achieved the tag of Advanced Consulting Partner. Owing to a fruitful partnership with AWS, Druid has been awarded a Service Delivery Provider (SDP) badge that allows them to provide AWS cloud platforms and Amazon DynamoDB services to its clients, while the Service Provider Partner (SPP) badge allows them to resell AWS solutions to their customers.

With a team of high-skilled experts, Druid differentiates itself from other players by showcasing dual expertise in cloud infrastructure and platform deployment as well as in cloud application development. With an in-depth understanding of AWS, Druid is on a mission to modernize legacy applications and also create new applications to streamline the cloud journey of organizations.

In consultation with AWS, Druid creates customized cloud applications and modernizes legacy applications using their Cloud Native software development solutions that include DevOps and Serverless, along with building new cloud infrastructure. Also, Druid’s Cloud Square offering provides multiple tech solutions for cloud security. Furthermore, Druid also helps concentrate organizations’ data in a data lake by AWS and leverages data analytics and machine learning to enable real-time insight generation, prediction, and visualization of the data.
