In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, where cloud adoption is no longer an option but a necessity, SnapSoft has positioned itself as a force to be reckoned with. Since its founding in 2016, the company has built a reputation as an award-winning AWS Partner Systems Integrator, delivering best-in-class cloud migration, security, and application modernization services. But it wasn’t until 2023, when tech veteran Brandon Kissinger took the helm as Executive Chairman, that SnapSoft embarked on its most aggressive growth phase yet.

Under Brandon’s leadership, SnapSoft has embraced a customer-first philosophy, focusing on transparency, proactivity, and empowerment. “We begin every engagement by clarifying the outcomes our customers want to achieve, then work backward to develop solutions that align directly with those goals,” he explains. This unwavering commitment to impact-driven solutions has fueled the company’s rapid expansion while maintaining its core values and unique culture.

From Broad Vision to Focused Execution

SnapSoft’s journey began as a custom application development agency, offering a wide range of services. However, by 2018, the company recognized the need to specialize, evaluating multiple cloud platforms before committing exclusively to AWS in 2020. This strategic decision allowed SnapSoft to refine its expertise, transforming into an Advanced Tier AWS Partner with over 100 cloud professionals specializing in cloud architecture, DevOps, AI/ML, and cloud security.

“Our focused expertise, paired with a strong background in multi-cloud and application development, allows us to execute fast, seamless cloud migrations and modernizations,” Brandon says. By combining deep technical proficiency with a collaborative co-delivery model, SnapSoft has helped hundreds of organizations—from emerging startups to global enterprises—optimize their cloud infrastructure for agility, security, and scalability.               

Driving Scalability and Compliance with AWS Lambda & API Gateway

One of SnapSoft’s key differentiators is its ability to balance scalability with security—a crucial factor for clients like MBH Bank and LottoShield. By leveraging serverless AWS components like Lambda and API Gateway, SnapSoft ensures compliance without compromising agility.

For LottoShield, SnapSoft built a secure AWS data lake to manage massive volumes of point-of-sale data. By integrating Amazon S3, AWS Glue, and Lambda through Terraform scripts, the company streamlined data ingestion while enforcing robust security measures. Similarly, for MBH Bank, a regulated Hungarian financial institution, SnapSoft orchestrated a multi-account AWS environment with containerized applications on Amazon EKS, automated CI/CD pipelines, and tight Active Directory integration. These solutions allow MBH Bank to embrace cloud-native innovation while adhering to stringent financial regulations.

Agility in Action: SnapSoft’s Sprint-Driven Approach

SnapSoft’s mantra, “We take sprints seriously,” is more than just a slogan—it’s a fundamental operational principle. The company’s agile approach enables clients to accelerate time-to-market while optimizing cost efficiency.               

“Our co-delivery model ensures that customers remain active contributors throughout the process, from design sprints to full-scale launch,” Brandon explains. This collaborative methodology fosters transparency and early issue resolution, reducing project risks and enabling faster feature rollouts. With a team of over 100 AWS-certified professionals, SnapSoft delivers high-impact solutions with unmatched speed and precision.

AI-Powered Transformation: Bradford Tax Institute’s Search Tool

In the race to harness AI’s potential, SnapSoft has proven that innovation must be practical and user-driven. Its collaboration with Bradford Tax Institute exemplifies this philosophy, as the company developed an AI-powered chatbot to streamline access to an extensive tax strategy library.

“Rather than simply deploying a generic AI tool, we focused on creating an intuitive search experience that understands complex queries and delivers actionable insights,” Brandon explains. The result? An AI-driven knowledge retrieval system that enhances user experience, integrates seamlessly with Bradford’s subscription model, and sets a new standard for AI-assisted tax research.

Building a Culture That Attracts and Retains Top Talent

Brandon Kissinger commends SnapSoft’s CEO, Daniel Kerenyi, for fostering a strong organizational culture rooted in thoughtful growth, innovation, and a deep sense of belonging. Under Daniel’s leadership, team well-being and collaboration are never sacrificed for short-term gains. His commitment to putting people over profits isn’t just a slogan—it’s a guiding principle that shapes every decision, from resource allocation to project structuring.

“Employees thrive when they feel valued and empowered,” Brandon says. “We foster transparency, encourage ownership, and ensure that professional growth is a shared priority.” By maintaining an inclusive, purpose-driven environment, SnapSoft has not only retained top-tier talent but also strengthened its reputation as a premier employer in the tech space.

Future-Proofing Clients with Well-Architected Framework Reviews

SnapSoft’s Well-Architected Framework Review has become a cornerstone of its service offerings, providing businesses with a strategic roadmap for cloud optimization. As emerging technologies like serverless computing and edge AI gain traction, the company continues to refine its framework to ensure clients remain ahead of the curve.

A prime example is Droople, a water analytics company that partnered with SnapSoft to enhance its AWS infrastructure. Through multi-account architecture improvements, Amazon Aurora upgrades, and enhanced security at the VPC level, Droople now operates on a scalable, future-proof cloud environment.

“Technology is evolving rapidly, but our approach remains the same—ensuring every client’s cloud strategy is built for longevity and adaptability,” asserts Brandon.

Global Expansion: Winning in the U.S.

SnapSoft’s expansion into the U.S. marked a pivotal moment in its growth trajectory. Unlike many companies that struggle with cross-border scaling, SnapSoft embraced an immediate, action-oriented approach.

“We understood the need for real-time alignment across geographies,” Brandon explains. “By implementing round-the-clock communication channels and streamlining workflows, we ensured that every stakeholder stayed on the same page from day one.”

While expanding globally, SnapSoft remained steadfast in preserving its company culture. Through structured onboarding, strong internal ownership, and a commitment to transparency, the company successfully scaled its operations without losing the core values that made it successful in the first place.

What’s Next? The Road Ahead for SnapSoft

With a 3x growth rate sustained over five years, SnapSoft shows no signs of slowing down. The company’s disciplined approach to scaling—coupled with a 97% customer satisfaction rate and 400+ new client acquisitions in the past year—has solidified its position as a trusted AWS partner.

Looking ahead, Brandon envisions a future where SnapSoft continues doubling down on cloud-native solutions while selectively exploring emerging fields like generative AI and machine learning. “We evaluate new trends through pilot programs to validate both technical feasibility and market demand,” he says. “Our priority remains the same: delivering solutions that drive real-world impact for our customers.”

With a relentless focus on customer success, a people-first culture, and a forward-thinking innovation strategy, SnapSoft is poised to shape the next decade of cloud transformation. Whether helping startups scale seamlessly or enabling enterprises to modernize securely, SnapSoft isn’t just keeping up with the future—it’s defining it.
