Strategic Alliance

A clearer path for commercial and federal AWS opportunities.

Heads in the Cloud focuses on commercial AWS modernization for small and mid-sized businesses. Federal and SDVOSB-aligned opportunities are supported through our strategic alliance with Heads in the Cloud Veteran Solutions.

How the alliance works

Two aligned paths, one practical cloud delivery motion.

The alliance helps customers and partners route opportunities cleanly based on the customer type, contract path, and delivery requirement.

Commercial path

Heads in the Cloud

HITC supports commercial AWS conversations for SMB customers that need cloud foundations, migrations, security posture improvement, disaster recovery, automation, and cost optimization.

Best fit Commercial SMB cloud modernization, AWS readiness, migrations, managed cloud alignment, and technical delivery support.
Federal path

Heads in the Cloud Veteran Solutions

HITCVS provides the federal and SDVOSB-aligned route when opportunities require federal positioning, teaming, contracting alignment, or veteran-owned small business participation.

Best fit Federal pursuits, SDVOSB-aligned opportunities, teaming discussions, and agency-facing cloud support paths.
Coordinated delivery

Shared AWS capability

When appropriate, the alliance supports joint scoping, technical planning, delivery coordination, and clear handoff so the customer has a practical path forward.

Best fit Opportunities that need AWS expertise, additional delivery capacity, partner support, or a clean commercial-to-federal routing model.
Routing guide

Which path should customers and partners use?

Start with the opportunity type. HITC keeps the commercial message focused, while HITCVS provides the federal-aligned path when the opportunity requires that structure.

Commercial SMB opportunity:Start with Heads in the Cloud.
Federal or agency opportunity:Route through Heads in the Cloud Veteran Solutions.
Prime or subcontracting discussion:Use the HITCVS alliance path when federal alignment is required.
AWS technical delivery need:HITC can support scoping, design, delivery planning, and implementation support.
Not sure where it belongs:Contact HITC and we will route the opportunity appropriately.
Why it helps

A cleaner structure for customers and partners.

Separating the commercial and federal paths reduces confusion. Customers get the right conversation, partners get a cleaner teaming model, and delivery teams can stay focused on the work that needs to happen.

Clear commercial positioning Federal routing support SDVOSB-aligned path AWS delivery expertise Partner-friendly scoping Practical handoff model
