Addressing Modern Cloud Challenges

IT teams face unprecedented strain from AI-driven workloads, distributed environments, SaaS proliferation, and persistent security threats. NWN Intelligent Cloud provides a unified operating model backed by strategic AWS and Microsoft Azure partnerships. It eliminates reliance on disparate point solutions by combining modernization, ongoing management, and real-time visibility into a single, cohesive solution.

“NWN took the time to understand how we actually operate and built an intelligent cloud environment around our real needs,” said Andrew Jones, Director of Information Technology, South Mississippi Housing Authority. “The transition was smooth, and we started seeing value quickly.”

Core Capabilities of Intelligent Cloud

  • Always-On Operations — 24×7 monitoring, proactive remediation, and rapid incident response across performance, availability, and security.
  • Unified Visibility & Governance — EMP provides a single actionable view for multi-cloud and hybrid environments, enabling centralized analytics, workflows, and secured-by-design controls.
  • Expert-Led Modernization — Purpose-built migrations and optimizations for AWS and Azure, including discovery, refactoring, and performance tuning for complex applications.
  • Cost & Risk Management — Continuous optimization, spend forecasting, DRaaS/BaaS, and compliance-focused architectures reduce cloud sprawl and downtime risks.
  • Procurement Simplicity — Select services available via AWS Marketplace for streamlined acquisition.

“IT teams are under unprecedented pressure with rising infrastructure and virtualization costs, distributed environments, new AI and SaaS workloads, and nonstop security threats,” said NWN CEO Jim Sullivan. “Working closely with customers, we saw these challenges firsthand and set out to deliver a solution that addresses the issue. Together with our strategic partners, we’ve created a comprehensive portfolio of managed services that modernizes and scales infrastructure, simplifies operations, and secures data end-to-end—without sacrificing control.”
