Global digital transformation consultancy, Xebia, has signed a five-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The collaboration between Xebia and AWS will enable customers to modernize their IT solutions more efficiently and effectively. Under the terms of the SCA, AWS will support Xebia in leveraging the full innovative potential of AWS and accelerating its growth in key markets including the Netherlands, the UK, the Middle East, the United States, and Central Europe. Founded in the Netherlands in 2001, Xebia has established itself as a leading systems integrator and has been at the forefront of utilizing AWS services since its launch in 2006. Despite huge cloud adoption, 85% of IT expenditure is still spent on on-premises solutions. Many companies have not yet found their way to the cloud or lack the knowledge to get the most out of cloud investments in areas such as unique cloud-based applications, cost savings, and sustainability. This need to navigate opportunities in the cloud drives strong market demand for Xebia's cloud expertise, combined with the technological possibilities of the AWS platform. Xebia provides flexible, scalable, and intelligent solutions to help clients such as Royal FloraHolland, Trust Payments, OOONO A/S, and DSM-firmenich address their needs through AWS Cloud services. Xebia and AWS will collaborate in several key areas, including:
- Migration and Application Modernization: Transforming legacy systems and applications to enhance agility and responsiveness.
- GreenOps: Promoting sustainable cloud practices to optimize resource usage and reduce environmental impact.
- FinOps: Empowering organizations to manage cloud costs effectively, ensuring maximum value from their AWS investments.
- Machine Learning and (Gen)AI: Harnessing advanced analytics and artificial intelligence to drive business insights and innovation.
- Digital Sovereignty: Sovereignty controls and features to allow organizations to meet their digital sovereignty requirements.
