Achieving this status places Connectria in a select group of top AWS Partner Network (APN) members and differentiates it as an AWS Partner who consistently demonstrates expertise in understanding customer needs and helps them architect, build, migrate, modernize, and manage workloads on AWS. The majority of Connectria's AWS clients adhere to regulatory compliance such as HITRUST, HIPAA, GDPR and PCI.

"Becoming an AWS Premier Consulting Partner is a tremendous accomplishment and a testament to our ongoing commitment to helping customers harness the value of AWS. Our deep expertise with security and compliance, IBM Power Systems, and an ever-expanding eco-system of AWS products and services is at the heart of our success in helping customers innovate and transform their business in ways never before imagined," said Amar Patel, CEO at Connectria.

To achieve AWS Premier Consulting tier, companies must complete a rigorous approval process through accreditations and certifications, must demonstrate a long-term investment in their relationship with AWS, and must have extensive expertise in deploying customer solutions on AWS. AWS Premier Consulting Partners also have a strong team of AWS trained and certified technical consultants and have deep expertise in project management and professional services.

"Through the continued work with AWS and our multi-million-dollar investment in an IBM low-latency hybrid solution, Connectria is enabling companies to reimagine their business while offering near-term solutions to drive business continuity and value." said Troy Mitchell, Director Strategic Alliances at Connectria.
