In July, TrekFed hosted an unforgettable day at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway — and it was about a lot more than horsepower.

The day kicked off with a presentation on go-to-market pathways for the Defense Industrial Base, with a spotlight on the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP). The focus: how organizations can maximize AWS funding to accelerate cloud modernization and AI initiatives while removing the financial friction that so often stalls mission-critical projects.

Then things shifted into high gear. Guests warmed up in the Dallara SIM Garage before heading out onto the legendary IMS track for an authentic IndyCar experience, hitting speeds up to 180 mph and pulling 2–3 Gs along the way.

Speed on the Track, Speed in the Cloud

The pairing of racing and cloud modernization wasn't just for fun. It's a fitting metaphor for how TrekFed approaches mission-ready cloud transformation for the Defense Industrial Base. Structured, AWS-aligned pathways move organizations from on-prem legacy systems to secure, mission-ready architectures, with funding built in at every step:

Optimization & Licensing Assessment (OLA) — A fully funded, agentless engagement that analyzes Oracle and VMware environments with zero downtime or production risk. It delivers a data-backed roadmap to AWS, complete with 5-year TCO forecasts, and typically cuts licensing and infrastructure costs by 20–40% while unlocking MAP funding.

Experience-Based Acceleration (EBA) — An agile, hands-on mechanism using reusable templates and intensive working sessions like Cloud Migration Parties and Checkrides to compress months of planning into days of real execution.

Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) — A structured, three-phase framework (Assess, Mobilize, Migrate & Modernize) that takes applications beyond simple lift-and-shift into cloud-native, mission-ready architectures. The Assess phase alone typically requires just ~8 hours of customer time and is usually fully funded by AWS.

AI Partner Incentives — Purpose-built funding to move organizations from AI experimentation to full-scale production, targeting Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q, and multi-agent Agentic AI frameworks, with access to funding pools including a $50M Warfighter Capability Accelerator and a $50M Genesis Accelerator.

Delivering Unforgettable, High-Impact Experiences

Creating high-impact results for the organizations TrekFed supports is core to who they are — and delivering unique, memorable experiences along the way is part of the package.
