Optus recently announced a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to better support digital transformation by delivering new end-to-end cloud services and migration support to Australian businesses.
Optus offers Australian business customers a range of cloud services from consultancy, advisory, migration, managed services, as well as security and risk solutions.
Under the new SCA, Optus will build a dedicated business unit that works with AWS Professional Services, a specialist team of cloud experts, to provide customers with an improved path to build new applications on AWS, and ability to scale faster as they move to the cloud.
Together with AWS, Optus will offer customers a range of differentiated cloud services such as VMWare Cloud on AWS, SAP on AWS, as well as provide migration support for workloads to help ensure a smooth transition to the cloud.
The agreement further strengthens Optus' existing relationship with AWS as an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner to deliver comprehensive cloud products and services to customers in Australia.
