Mission

Simon Anderson here, founder & CEO of Mission. I'm taking over our LinkedIn today to share some exciting news. And no, it's not about our re:Invent plans this time! 🚀 I am thrilled to announce that Mission is now part of CDW! We've joined forces with CDW's Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources under our new brand, "Mission, a CDW company," establishing us as one of the leading AWS partners and marketplace resellers globally. 🤔 What inspired this strategic combination with CDW? When I founded Mission in 2017, I envisioned building an agile cloud services company that could help enterprises unlock AWS's full power and potential. Becoming part of CDW allows us to realize that vision on a grander scale than I ever imagined. By combining Mission's deep AWS expertise with CDW's impressive breadth of capabilities, we can deliver unparalleled value to organizations on their cloud journeys. 🤝 What does this news mean for Mission’s customers? Mission customers will continue to receive the same expertise and services from the Mission team they know and trust. But now, as part of CDW, they'll have access to expanded areas such as AWS Connect, VMware, Palo Alto, and more capabilities. We're bringing together the strengths of Mission and CDW to enhance the innovation and impact we deliver for our customers' businesses. 💡 What excites you most about Mission's future as part of CDW? We have the potential to help our customers achieve more than they ever thought possible. With our combined AWS expertise, services, and scale, we are exceptionally well-positioned to be the go-to partner for organizations looking to maximize their AWS investment and accelerate their cloud transformation. The best is yet to come as we write this exciting next chapter. 🙌 Any message you want to share with the Mission team? To our incredible Mission team, past and present, THANK YOU. Your tireless dedication, customer obsession, and commitment to excellence have made this milestone possible. I'm so proud of what we've accomplished together and even more excited for what's ahead. Let's continue to dream big, deliver the exceptional, and make a real difference for our customers.  That’s all from me for now.
