“We have a goal to reduce our infrastructure cost by $500,000/year with the

AWS migration. The cost components that makes up the savings are:

1. Data center costs

2. Hardware lease costs

3. Software and software support

4. DR costs

We also will be able to free up about 1 FTE for new projects because we do

not have to replace hardware every month, which contributes to agility. We

also gain the ability to manage our infrastructure costs by the day.”

1. Expanded role in global IT

• Extend infrastructure strategy to other Yamaha entities in

the Americas

• Create global IT Center of Excellence

2. Process and project management

• Rapid deployment of business initiatives

• Data-driven decision-making
