Amazon Web Services (AWS) has partnered with Safaricom which sees the telephone company become a reseller of AWS services.
The agreement is set to accelerate Safaricom’s internal IT transformation, reduce costs and provide a blueprint and resources to customers with their journey to the cloud.
Michael Joseph, the Safaricom Plc CEO said the agreement will allow the company to speed up its efforts in enabling digital transformation in Kenya.
“We chose to partner with AWS because it offers customers the broadest and deepest cloud platform, overall commitment to security excellence, and a strong culture of customer obsession,” Joseph said.
Furthermore, Safaricom will offer AWS services to customers in East Africa, allowing many businesses to get started on AWS cloud and accelerate innovation.
Safaricom has also announced the achievement of the status of Advanced Consulting Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN), becoming one of the first APN members in East Africa. The APN is the global partner program for technology and consulting businesses who leverage AWS to build solutions and services for customers. It helps companies build and sell AWS offerings providing technical and marketing support.
This attainment validates the knowledge and experience in AWS cloud services that Safaricom has acquired.
