CDW
“ CDW came to our rescue when we needed to move our staff to work remotely ,” said Stoffel-Moffett . “ We needed additional monitors , computers , printers and additional licensing for a video conferencing solution . CDW was there with us the whole way to ensure we had the inventory as any superior partner would .
“ CDW helped us to quickly pivot our software solutions , enabled us to implement hardware , backup , storage needs and kept us nimble and dynamic through 2020 “ Without CDW , we would not have been able to be agile for our business leaders , employees and fans . CDW has been an incredible partner .
AWS
“ Our AWS team , led by John Dwyer , is closely aligned with NASCAR tech teams on multiple initiatives . AWS cloud helped NASCAR bridge the historical gap between the legacy architecture and new technology ,” said Stoffel-Moffett .
“ This has led to a new digital library with 73 years of NASCAR history media assets . AWS offers the cloud platform supporting the re-architecture of our consumer data warehouse . AWS ’ s platforms are critical to NASCAR ’ s journey to becoming more cloudcentric . Our cloud strategy is expansive – we are collaborating with AWS on building a Cloud Centre of Excellence and moving NASCAR to a data-driven business model .”
