This document discusses using Amazon MQ instead of an on-premises message-oriented middleware for a large manufacturer. The manufacturer is facing a $500K license renewal for their on-premises solution. Amazon MQ could provide the same messaging capabilities in the cloud at lower cost without the need to manage infrastructure. It also offers high availability, security, and auto-scaling capabilities out of the box. Moving to Amazon MQ could help the manufacturer avoid large license renewal costs and gain operational efficiencies.
