Executive Summary
JEM Security was established in 2019 with one goal: to deliver the most competitive prices combined with an unbeatable customer service experience. The business was well-received after launching and they expanded their operation globally. Based on their business growth they needed a scalable and reliable cloud infrastructure that would provide resources when they needed.
About the Customer
JEM Security has strong relationships with manufacturers and suppliers, as well as massive volume purchasers, which has given them the opportunity to have some of the most competitive prices on the market for a very wide range of Fire Life Safety brands.
Customer Challenge
With rapid business growth over just a few months, JEM Security had to expand their operation overseas and make business decisions fast. They faced, however, technical limitations to scale, centralize, and reduce operational IT costs globally.
Why AWS?
AWS has a global infrastructure that provides IT resources on demand and allows customers to scale globally fast. AWS offers a financial strategy to pay-as-you-go which provided JEM Security more agility, reliability, and flexibility, all while using the latest technologies that align with the company’s needs.
