Iomart : consultancy gains AWS Public Sector Partner for Government status

SystemsUp, the cloud consultancy owned by iomart, has been recognised as an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Public Sector Partner for Government at the launch of AWS re:Invent 2016.

SystemsUp is a specialised, technical consultancy with a wide range of expertise covering areas such as Digital Transformation, Big Data, Security, DevOps and Cloud Management. It has a proven track record in helping government departments, agencies and local authorities migrate their IT and applications onto AWS successfully as part of the UK government's stated 'cloud first' approach.

The AWS Public Sector Partner Program recognises companies with a strong overall AWS practice, and demonstrates their experience and readiness to support government, education, and/or non-profit customer missions. This enhanced relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) builds on the AWS Advanced Consulting Partner status already enjoyed by SystemsUp and iomart as a result of their commitment to providing a complete cloud services and cloud billing and management portfolio that gives AWS customers fast and flexible access to pay-as-you-go cloud.

Marc Esmiley, Cloud Services Director for SystemsUp, said: 'We are delighted to have our expertise in delivering cost efficient and scalable public cloud solutions to government recognised by AWS. Our consultants have built up an incredible range of AWS certifications, but more importantly they have helped and guided government clients through successful migrations to the right AWS services.'

SystemsUp is an independent arm of cloud company iomart. It works with clients across the public and private sector to help design, build and implement public cloud solutions. SystemsUp employs a large team of full-time consultants who take a wholly agnostic approach and only recommend the cloud solution that will deliver real business benefits.

Angus MacSween, CEO of iomart, said: 'Government in the UK is still in the early stages of cloud adoption to improve the delivery of public services so the professional, impartial and transformational advice offered by SystemsUp is critical. They have guided departments at the start of their journey to the cloud as well as helping those that are already there to better manage the myriad of services on offer from the hyper scale providers. This further recognition for them from AWS is fully deserved.'

Using its unique assuredCloudStrategy™ and assuredCloudEconomics™ methodologies, SystemsUp has gained an outstanding reputation for helping organisations transform their business strategies and processes to become more dynamic and flexible.
