HOUSTON, TX – May 8, 2025 - Crane Worldwide Logistics, a premier provider of supply chain solutions with operations in 30 countries, today announced its enterprise-wide migration to Amazon Web Services (AWS). This strategic digital transformation initiative is designed to deliver significant cost efficiencies while enhancing the agility, reliability, and resilience of Crane's mission-critical applications.
The migration represents a cornerstone of Crane's technology modernization strategy, enabling the company to better serve its global customer base with more responsive and innovative logistics solutions.
"Our migration to AWS marks a pivotal moment in Crane Worldwide's digital journey," said Brannon Kuykendall, Chief Information Officer at Crane Worldwide Logistics. "By moving our infrastructure to the AWS cloud, we're projecting a 30% reduction in overall IT operational costs while simultaneously improving our ability to scale resources dynamically based on business demand. This transformation will allow us to innovate faster and deliver enhanced value to our customers through more reliable and resilient technology solutions."
Enhanced Agility and Reliability
The transition to AWS is significantly improving Crane's application deployment capabilities, reducing new environment provisioning time from weeks to hours. This newfound agility enables Crane to respond more quickly to changing market conditions and customer requirements.
The company is also realizing substantial improvements in system reliability and resilience, with critical applications expected to achieve 99.99% uptime across global operations once the migration is complete. By leveraging AWS's global infrastructure, Crane is implementing robust disaster recovery capabilities that will ensure business continuity even during unforeseen disruptions.
Leveraging AWS Professional Services, Managed Services, and Enterprise Support
To ensure a smooth and efficient cloud transition, Crane has engaged AWS Professional Services to lead and accelerate the migration process. This collaboration brings specialized expertise and proven methodologies that enable Crane to navigate complex migration challenges while minimizing disruption to business operations.
A key component of Crane's cloud strategy also involves the adoption of AWS Managed Services (AMS), which provides ongoing infrastructure management and operational support. This approach allows Crane's IT team to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine maintenance tasks.
Additionally, Crane has implemented AWS Enterprise Support to provide 24/7 technical guidance and rapid response capabilities. This comprehensive support framework ensures that the company can quickly address any challenges that arise during the migration while continuously optimizing its cloud environment.
"Forward-thinking organizations can transform their operations through cloud technologies and AI capabilities like Amazon Bedrock," said Rich Geraffo, vice president and managing director, AWS North America. "Crane Worldwide’s digital transformation demonstrates how AWS can empower global enterprises to achieve greater efficiency, agility, and innovation. We look forward to helping Crane Worldwide to leverage advanced cloud services to drive business growth and customer value."
The migration to AWS supports Crane's commitment to delivering world-class logistics solutions through innovative technology. The company plans to further leverage AWS services to develop new capabilities in data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning that will enhance supply chain visibility and operational efficiency.
