Berico Technologies: Unleashing AWS Potential

Jeremy Glesner, CTO

From the outset, Berico Technologies has executed a customer-centric Agile approach to provide smart, innovative solutions and services to customers working in the most demanding mission areas. The firm quickly recognized the rising prominence of cloud technology as a driver for scalability, ease of collaboration, reduced IT costs, and business continuity. With AWS emerging as their preferred cloud service, Berico eliminated on premise servers and centered their DevOpsSec capabilities solely in the cloud. Today, the company simplifies cloud migration and software development through their robust methodology and suite of automation and monitoring tools to better propel their clients’ modernization efforts. “We build solutions with a sheer focus on the needs of end users,” avows Jeremy Glesner, CTO, Berico Technologies.

As an AWS Consulting Standard Partner, Berico’s team of AWS-certified professionals intricately remedy, govern, and seamlessly execute against their clients’ missions. Developing cloud-based solutions that will stand the test of time, while ensuring proper security are of the utmost importance to Berico. Their cloud expertise, agility, and responsiveness has made Berico the trusted advisor to many Federal Government agencies and organizations.

Berico, a Reston, VA-based firm, recognizes the challenges faced by its clients, which are primarily federal agencies, in their move toward AWS.

To seamlessly migrate customers’ data and applications to the cloud, Berico first performs an in-depth analysis of their existing infrastructure and applications, then devises a roadmap for cloud adoption. “Berico simplifies decommissioning of legacy applications and economically unleashes the power of AWS,” adds Glesner. To-date Berico has leveraged their methodology and tools to successfully migrate more than 100 applications to the AWS secure environment being used by federal customers. In the post-migration phase, Berico delivers application cost-savings by identifying inefficiencies and redundancies, and underutilized capacity.

Apart from underpinning cloud migration, Berico offers a suite of intuitive solutions, including Rivium^®—a web-based visualization, exploration, and collaboration application. Users can interact with and explore vast amounts of data and can depict trends, outliers, and clusters to improve analysis. Rivium also facilitates collaboration through features that allow shared notes, folders, saved searches, and alerts for status updates to better meet deliverable deadlines.

Berico offers CloudTracker^TM, a management platform that bridges the gap between the cloud and the host organization by correlating metric sat scale to provide cloud-migration status tracking, resource utilization, and cost analysis up to the hour, from the whole enterprise down to individual applications. By visualizing disparate datasets to facilitate real-time analysis of budgeted versus actual costs, CloudTracker improves forecasting, usage optimization analysis, and procurement and resource planning.

Through its solutions and services, Berico has successfully provided key technology and process advancements in support of vital modernization efforts for numerous organizations. For instance, one client had migrated multiple applications to the cloud, however they were unable to isolate inadequacies and determine the utilization of applications. After deploying Berico’s CloudTracker, the client easily garnered key data points about their applications and identified inefficiencies that were artificially inflating costs. Using CloudTracker, the client was able to easily track the cost of computing power and gain insights that could be proactively applied in near realtime to streamline operations.

While Berico continues to successfully make the migration to AWS worry-free for organizations, it also continues to move forward with other exciting projects in the coming year like building a marketplace for federal intellectual property (IP). The marketplace will connect buyers and sellers and allow them to evaluate available IP for a commercial purpose. While the company continues to register positive financial growth, it remains focused on its efforts to make an “Impact through Innovation” by leveraging new technologies to help clients accomplish their mission.
