Cevo, a born-in-the-cloud Amazon Web Services (AWS) Advanced Consulting Partner, helping businesses move faster with confidence, today announced it has signed a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with AWS, the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud. Under the agreement, Cevo will help its customers accelerate innovation and address industry needs by building and adopting tailored solutions leveraging AWS modernisation, data, and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
With AWS, the three-year multi-million-dollar agreement will enable Cevo to strengthen its core practice areas of Modernisation, Data and AI, and Advisory services, in addition to industry-specific competencies across financial services and retail, including technical expertise with a focus on data and security. This aims to meet customers’ demand by providing differentiated solutions with integrated demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success.
Commencing in February 2024, the collaboration will help Cevo to further develop its go-to-market strategy, Cevo NexusTM. This methodology is designed to accelerate digital transformation for Australian organisations, particularly in regulated sectors like financial services, utilities, and the public sector, where Cevo has deep expertise. One of the solution offerings, ‘Launch’, allows Cevo customers to establish a well-architected AWS landing zone aligned to industry regulations and compliance requirements. Other solution offerings, ‘Insights’ and ‘Intelligence’, helps customers build a modern data platform and leverage AI and generative AI technologies.
The SCA also includes joint investment in training to enhance Cevo employees’ AWS cloud skills and capabilities, and maintain proficiency across Cevo’s core practices. Cevo aims to develop and expand its local technical talent, while reinforcing its commitment to fostering a skilled workforce by adopting programs like AWS Skill Builder. This repository of over 700 online training lessons helps users learn AWS, improve their skills so they can put them into practice, and obtain AWS Certifications.
This Strategic Collaboration Agreement further enhances our deep collaboration with AWS, allowing Cevo to take a major step towards helping customers build and optimise on the cloud and AI faster to drive industry innovation. Through the agreement, AWS will help us scale our already fast-growing business three-fold in three years, and comes as the result of working closely with AWS since 2016 to deliver outstanding value for our joint customers by leveraging cloud and AI technologies.
Cevo has helped more than 200 organisations in Australia and New Zealand, including enterprises such as AMP and David Jones, government agencies, and startups such as Fiduciary Financial Services, stay competitive with innovative solutions on AWS. Insignia Financial, one of Australia’s largest superannuation fund providers, worked with Cevo to drive a significant transformation, migrating from on-premises infrastructure to AWS Cloud, following its acquisition of MLC Wealth from National Australia Bank.
Ross Garbutt, Head of Cloud Technology at Insignia Financial, emphasised the importance of Cevo’s technical expertise in overcoming challenges.
Through our close collaboration with Cevo, Insignia Financial has undergone a remarkable transformation to drive cloud adoption on AWS. Cevo's technical expertise allowed us to build the foundations seamlessly and efficiently for our new cloud environments while meeting stringent security, resilience, and compliance standards. Cevo's consultants consistently deliver work of the highest calibre, and their deep expertise has been instrumental in the success of our digital transformation.
We are delighted to collaborate with and support the growth of locally owned businesses like Cevo. Cevo has supported some of Australia’s largest digital transformation projects, with customers leveraging their deep cloud expertise and modernisation capabilities. This Strategic Collaboration Agreement will see our organisations come together to accelerate the adoption of cloud-enabled technologies including AI and generative AI to drive industry-focused outcomes and enable customers to maximise efficiencies, productivity, and accelerate innovation.
