LSD Open

Becoming an AWS Well-Architected Partner is a series of steps to prove your competency in delivering Well-Architected Reviews to clients. But before you are approved to run the review, you reach a step where you are required to run one on your own business. We went into ours expecting a box-ticking exercise and came out with a fresh set of questions about how we operate that we had not considered asking ourselves. The answers came down to who sat in the room.

LSD Open has become one of the first partners in Africa qualified to deliver AWS Experience-Based Acceleration (EBA), a hands-on, immersive delivery approach designed to replace months of analysis paralysis with real-time execution. Any cloud project – whether an initial migration, a modernisation push or a brand-new innovation initiative – is notoriously prone to stalling. These delays, especially during large-scale transformations, are a well-documented headache across the tech industry.

Securing the right enterprise software at the right time requires a purchasing workflow that supports both your technical and finance teams. To simplify this journey, we have launched the LSD Open Red Hat Subscription Centre. This digital channel is designed to remove the administrative heavy lifting from your software sourcing process. By providing a streamlined web form, the platform delivers a formal, transaction-ready quotation to your inbox within 60 minutes.
