Hello, I'm Dylan, a cloud developer at West Loop Strategy, an AWS Partner. For the beginning of our AWS Analytics Expert Series, we are going to discuss QuickSight, and why your company should take advantage of it.


QuickSight is the first cloud based AI and Analytics platform brought to you by AWS. Rather than looking at tables of data in Excel, we want to tell a story with the data that will help guide a general manager, or a CFO, to build action plans that improve business efficiency and grow revenue. QuickSight is primarily three important tools. Datasets are the creation of your database view or table within QuickSight. Datasets are then used to build visualizations in a sandbox development style environment called an Analysis. Once an official report is built in the Analysis, it is published into a broad environment called a Dashboard that your users will access.

There are some major use cases enjoyed by our clients and their customers like contact center reporting, utilizing minute to minute tracking of metrics to handle daily patterns in employee and customer interactions. Or, they can utilize it for financial reporting, providing an executive summary style report to summarize any important company or client stats over the time period, and following up with a deep dive on comparison metrics for previous time periods showing growth or decline.

Thanks for joining us today. To learn more about how we help our clients use AWS Cloud Technology, check out our website and follow us on Linkedin.

Find answers to common questions about cloud migrations, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and working with West Loop Strategy.

Why choose West Loop Strategy?

West Loop Strategy’s mission is to combine AWS technology with deep expertise to deliver best-in-class solutions to business problems, not technology for its own sake.  That means efficient, cost-effective solutions that add value to your business.

Why should you migrate to the cloud?

Cloud migration is the process of moving your organization's data, applications, and infrastructure from on-premises servers to the cloud. If that sounds complicated or like a lot of work, consider the benefits. Moving to the cloud allows businesses to shift from large upfront capital expenditures (CapEx) on hardware and infrastructure to operational expenses (OpEx) that can be deducted from taxable income. This pay-as-you-go model improves cash flow, reduces financial risk, and provides greater flexibility to scale IT resources as needed. If you set it up right - you can stop running inflexible workloads that are "always on" and instead take advantage of native solutions that scale up and down based on your actual usage.

Our team of AWS certified Solutions Architects at West Loop Strategy is here to guide you through this transition, ensuring it's tailored to your business and its unique requirements. From initial assessment to seamless execution, we'll help you navigate the complexities of cloud migration with confidence.

What are the benefits of migrating to AWS?

AWS is the clear leader among the public cloud providers. They have the most advanced features & products, the highest uptime, the lowest prices, and the best customer support.  Whether you are moving a solution from on-prem to the cloud, modernizing an old stack of legacy products, changing business intelligence platforms, or leaving Azure/GCP, AWS has a solution for you.

Why hire an Advanced Tier AWS Partner?

Achieving Advanced Tier Status within the AWS Partner Network (APN) is no easy feat.  It takes a years-long track record of successful customer projects to even qualify to apply.  West Loop Strategy achieved Advanced Tier status in 2022 and has earned more AWS Service Delivery designations than any other Advanced Tier partner along the way.  For customers, this means that if you work with West Loop Strategy, you’re working with a dedicated partner trusted by AWS themselves to deliver work that demonstrates the AWS pillars of success – operational excellence, security, reliability, performance and cost efficiency.
