Who we are

Born in the cloud. Built for the enterprise.

Formerly Afonza

We started in 2017 as Afonza, a born-in-the-cloud company focused only on AWS. In late 2019, EPI‑USE took a majority equity interest, and in 2020 Afonza became EPI‑USE Services for AWS.

Today, we combine AWS expertise with EPI‑USE’s decades of SAP and ERP experience and the backing of Group Elephant, helping enterprises and SaaS companies migrate, modernize, manage, and innovate on AWS.
