Cevo’s adoption of the AWS EBA Framework for our clients 

Digital transformation has never been short on strategy decks, maturity models, or future-state diagrams, with countless customer stories of the endless struggle to move from strategy to real world execution. 

What has been harder to find is safe, structured ways for organisations to actually experience modern cloud, data and AI platforms in practice — before committing to large-scale change. 

That’s exactly why Experience-Based Accelerators (EBAs) were created by Amazon Web Services — and why we’re excited that partners like Cevo can now lead and deliver them directly for our clients (AWS Experience-Based Acceleration – Amazon Web Services) 

At Cevo, we’ve adopted the AWS EBA framework as a core part of how we help clients move from intent to impact across Migration, Modernisation and AI. Since adopting and launching Cevo’s Partner-led EBAs, the customer demand has been overwhelming with Independent Software Vendors, Public Sector transport management and energy clients all signing up for the experience. 

What Is an AWS Experience-Based Accelerator (EBA)? 

An EBA is a time-boxed, hands-on engagement that gives teams the opportunity to: 

• Work directly in AWS environments 

• Use real workloads, real data, and real tooling 

• Learn by doing, not observing 

• Build confidence before committing to scale 

Rather than abstract conversations about “what’s possible,” EBAs are designed to create practical learning moments that shorten decision cycles and de-risk transformation. 

Why Experience-Based Accelerators Reduce Risk for Clients 

Across government and enterprise, we consistently see the same challenges: 

• Migration programs stall due to uncertainty and risk 

• Modernisation decisions are delayed by legacy complexity and a fear factor that it’s ‘all too hard’ and that a ‘SaaS’ replacement will solve the complexity 

• AI ambition outpaces organisational readiness, with too much time (and lost opportunity) of defining a wave of ‘use cases’ 

EBAs address these challenges by replacing theory with tangible experience. 

Clients don’t just hear about cloud, data or AI — they use it, test it, and see outcomes firsthand. 

How Cevo Delivers Partner-Led AWS EBAs 

Historically, AWS delivered EBAs exclusively themselves. Today, Cevo is proud to be delivering these accelerators as a trusted AWS partner, deeply tailored to our clients’ environments, constraints and ambitions. 

While AWS defines the EBA structure, Cevo’s role is to operationalise it. We tailor each accelerator beyond standard patterns, designing sessions around customer-specific architectures, workloads and organisational realities. This ensures the experience reflects what production delivery will actually look like, not an idealised version of it. 

Local Cevo engineers and consultants deliver EBAs hands-on with customers every day. That means navigating existing technical debt, security requirements, operating models and timelines, and designing solutions that can move forward after the accelerator ends. 

Our approach is grounded in three principles: 

Real Workloads, Not Demos

We design EBAs around your systems, your data and your challenges — not generic samples. 

Engineering-Led, Outcome-Focused

Every accelerator is facilitated by Cevo engineers and consultants who live and breathe delivery — ensuring outcomes are practical, scalable and production-ready. 

Confidence Before Commitment

The goal isn’t just learning — it’s decision enablement. Clients leave with clarity, evidence and momentum.
