AWS signs strategic collaboration agreement with Xebia
Cloud computing major Amazon Web Services (AWS) has signed a five-year strategic collaboration agreement with Xebia, a digital transformation consultancy firm with offices in 16 countries.
Under the terms of the partnership, Xebia will join an elite group of consulting firms that receive strategic support from AWS worldwide. AWS will support Xebia in leveraging the full innovative potential of AWS and accelerating its growth in key markets including the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, the United States, and Central Europe.
The collaboration will focus mainly on the financial, manufacturing, media and entertainment, travel and hospitality, and retail sectors – key areas of focus for Xebia’s teams worldwide.
Founded in the Netherlands in 2001, Xebia has since then (with the help of a buy-and-build campaign) grown into a leading digital transformation consulting firm in its key markets. The firm has a strong record in the cloud segment, and has been at the forefront of utilizing AWS services since its launch in 2006.
A Premier Consulting Partner of AWS, Xebia has implemented AWS solutions at companies including Heineken, WeTransfer, Royal FloraHolland, Quby, and Wehkamp.
Anand Sahay, Chief Executive Officer at Xebia, said that the strategic collaboration agreement marks a pivotal moment in the firm’s working relationship with AWS. “It enables us to redefine the boundaries of our cloud expertise by crafting new, tailored, and scalable solutions for our customers in critical industries across the globe.”
Sahay added that the partnership will serve “as a flywheel to further develop Xebia’s activities across the globe”, helping the company expand into new territories.
Guido Bartels, Xebia’s Managing Director for Cloud, commented: “As one of the early adopters of AWS Cloud services Xebia is fully committed to harnessing our expanding collaboration to leverage today’s cutting-edge technologies, including GenAI and advanced analytics, and to jointly develop verticalized solutions that accelerate cloud value delivery and consequently drive concrete business outcomes for our customers worldwide.”
The Director of Partner Management for EMEA at AWS, Antonio Alonso Lopez, stated: “We are delighted to strengthen our collaboration with Xebia to help organizations across industries accelerate their cloud journey. This multi-year agreement combines Xebia’s consultancy and software development services with the secure, scalable cloud technologies of AWS to generate sustainable business value for customers.”
