Cloud services provider Cloudreach has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate global cloud adoption.
The agreement builds on the pre-existing 12-year relationship between the duo and helps Cloudreach expand into new territories within North America and Europe, including Canada, Poland, Spain and the Nordics.
Cloudreach will also further develop its SMART Migration and SMART Modernisation services to boost enterprise cloud adoption through intelligent automation and help more customers realise the benefits of AWS services, Cloudreach said.
“We’re excited to be entering this new phase of growth. Together, we’re focused on delivering the promise of the cloud through new software-driven capabilities coupled with industry-best practices and expertise,” Cloudreach CEO Brooks Borcherding said.
“For our customers this will mean adopting AWS cloud more efficiently and with greater confidence, achieving a faster time to value,” Borcherding added.
Doug Yeum, head of worldwide channels and alliances at AWS, said: “We are delighted to build upon the 12-year relationship with AWS Premier Partner, Cloudreach. This collaboration means AWS can bring the highest level of cloud native expertise to an even wider audience with Cloudreach, significantly accelerating the pace of global cloud adoption.
“We are also particularly appreciative of Cloudreach’s focus on expanding the diverse talent pool of AWS-skilled professionals, which aligns with our leadership principles as a company,” he added.
Cloudreach also stated that it is launching a new Talent Academy to help “train hundreds of diverse and promising candidates” to become the “next generation of cloud professionals”.
For entry into the programme, Cloudreach plans to look for individuals with a “passion for building their career in the cloud”, even if they do not have a technical background, and fast-track their development.
