Telef·nica Business Solutions, a provider of a wide range of integrated communication solutions and digital services for the B2B market, has announced a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to help companies and organizations accelerate their journey to the cloud and boost their digital transformation.
With this collaboration, Telef·nica will include AWS in its cloud offering portfolio. Already, millions of customers around the globe are using Amazon Web Services cloud technology to speed up their time to market, lower their costs, and support their businesses globally.
Customers who are looking to migrate to AWS aim to be more innovative and need a like-minded partner to empower them through this digital transformation. As it is the case, Telef·nica Business Solutions provides an integrated, innovative and competitive portfolio that will facilitate their journey to the cloud.
To enable this transformation, Telef·nica will have trained and certified specialists in AWS services and best practices, while AWS will have dedicated resources to support Telef·nica and their customers.
On this journey to achieve the performance and agility enabled by cloud, enterprise customers will be able to rely on Telef·nica’s experience to help them build the appropriate cloud strategy and make the most of the AWS Cloud. Telef·nica is also using AWS in their internal IT systems to support digital services delivered to customers, and can share this experience with enterprise customers to help them accelerate their innovation.
In order to further drive digital transformation through cloud adoption, a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) has been created within Telef·nica in Spain. Leveraging AWS best practices, to enable a smooth, fast and successful transition to the cloud for its customers, Telef·nica’s Cloud Center of Excellence will use the AWS Well-Architected Framework and AWS recommended best practices for secure and scalable infrastructure to realize the full potential of cloud-based services.
Hugo de los Santos, Director Global B2B Products and Services at Telef·nica commented, 'Our customers are asking for advice and support in their Cloud adoption processes. AWS, with its depth and breadth of services as well as global presence, is a piece that fits perfectly in our Cloud portfolio. Telef·nica's cloud offering thus empowers our customers to run their infrastructure, applications and workloads on the most suitable Cloud service possible.'
Niko Mykkanen, Head of EMEA Partners & Alliances, Amazon Web Services, said: 'Service providers are playing an important role in driving innovation and creating value for organizations. We are excited to work with Telef·nica to enable the digital transformation of enterprise customers and help them leverage the scalability and breadth of services that AWS offers.'
