Executive Summary
SafetyPark, Inc. is a full-service valet and parking management company headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Their business needed innovation to solve problems of cost, lost data, and inflexibility. Based on their business requirements, they needed a reliable and cost-effective cloud provider that would provide resources when they needed them.

They are constantly investing in their company to make enhancements to their technology, apps, and employee training programs to improve convenience and ultimately their guest’s/client’s experience.
Customer Challenge
Technological growth wasn’t congruent with company growth. SafetyPark needed a stable infrastructure to support their daily operations, avoid losing data, and to control costs by effectively using the latest technology.
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 SafetyPark more agility, reliability, and flexibility, all while adding layers of security.
Why Broad PC was chosen as their AWS Partner
Broad PC is an AWS APN Consulting partner that has deep customer facing experience and has the skills to translate client requirements into business direction via the use of technology. The Broad PC team facilitated the project by understanding SafetyPark’s needs as well as any current systems limitations.

We integrate those solutions using AWS servers such as EC2, EBS, S3, VPC, Security Groups, AD Connector, AWS WorkSpaces, and AWS Managed VPN.
