Aquilent Named "2015 AWS Premier Consulting Partner"


LAUREL, Md. --(Business Wire)--

Aquilent, a recognized leading provider of Mobile, Web, Cloud and Portal solutions shaping the next generation of technology for the federal government, has been named an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Consulting Partner for the third year in a row. With this designation-held by only 10 companies across North America-Aquilent customers will continue to benefit from its deep investment in, and knowledge of, both the AWS and Federal Cloud environments.

AWS Premier Consulting Partners, according to Amazon, are its top AWS Partner Network (APN) Consulting Partners globally. To be an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, a company must have:

  • invested significantly in its AWS practice
  • extensive experience in deploying customer solutions on AWS
  • a strong bench of trained and certified technical consultants
  • obtained at least one APN Competency
  • expertise in project management
  • built a healthy revenue-generating consulting business on AWS

This is particularly relevant for Federal government customers, which often require far greater expertise than ordinary Cloud providers because of the complexity of their environments and strict security requirements.

"We have been pioneers and visionaries in leading the federal government to the cloud since its inception. Our partnership with Amazon Web Services has been a cornerstone of that strategy," said Aquilent CEO David Fout. "As a 2015 AWS Premier Partner and in our third consecutive year, we are excited to continue to provide unmatched service to our current federal customers, while offering additional agencies the opportunity to tap into our deep expertise as they move to a Cloud environment."

Aquilent has been an AWS Premier Partner since the program began three years ago. The company touts a staff of more than 40 trained AWS professionals, with 100 percent of the Aquilent Cloud Solutions group formally trained and/or certified on AWS.
