From niche to necessity: GFT’s vision for cloud computing … – Business Leader

Cloud-based infrastructures represent clear opportunities for companies to outpace the rest of their industries with increased speed to market, scalability, resilience and sustainability in their digital offerings.

For many, the question remains how to get there. Global digital transformation company GFT is expanding its Amazon Web Services (AWS) business division with the appointment of Brigitte Sollie as SVP, Global Head AWS Sales and Strategy to deliver on these ambitions.

Sollie will lead GFTs team of more than 950 AWS-specific experts and play a critical role in scaling the companys delivery of cloud infrastructure to meet growing global demand. GFT is a leading implementation partner of AWS, ranking as the top provider in Latin America and the third-largest provider of AWS migrations worldwide.

Marika Lulay, CEO of GFT, said: Cloud computing is no longer a niche topic, but a necessity for companies to compete in their industries. Weve been guiding companies through their cloud journeys since the time when most still raised their eyebrows at the idea.

The addition of AWS expert Brigitte Sollie to our team is a natural next step as we scale our AWS offering to meet the ambitions of organisations worldwide.

In expanding its dedicated AWS practice, GFT is investing in growing its deep technical expertise and partnerships with AWS-powered technologies. Under Sollies leadership, the company will build upon its proven track record of accelerating speed to market and operational productivity through the more than 100 client projects it has completed on AWS.

GFT is an AWS Advanced Tier Service Partner with more than 650 certifications for cloud-based services including coding, database management and cybersecurity. It additionally achievedAWS Financial Services Competency status last year, complementing previous achievements including its AWS Migration Competency and AWS DevOps Competency.

Sollie formerly served as Enterprise Executive Strategic Advisor at AWS. In her new role at GFT, she will specifically oversee GFTs global AWS strategy, manage its multi-year partnership with AWS, and further cultivate executive relationships with AWS clients.

In the insurance industry, GFT is an implementation partner to Guidewire, an AWS-powered core system provider for property and casualty insurers. In the private equity space, GFT partners with cloud-based provider LemonEdge.

Marco Santos, CEO Americas at GFT, commented: The digital opportunities available to companies once they migrate to the cloud are too large to ignore, but so are the risks of going through it alone.

As we partner with companies throughout their digital journeys, from ideation to implementation, we prioritise their ability to scale efficiently by scaling our own expertise alongside them.
