SoftwareOne, a global software and cloud solutions provider listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Euronext Oslo Bors (SWON), announced today that it has achieved the AWS Data Competency in the Analytics and Database categories. This recognition, one of AWS's most rigorous partner validations, underscores SoftwareOne's proven customer success and deep technical expertise in helping enterprises modernize and run mission-critical database workloads on AWS, and in turning their data into actionable business value.
The AWS Data Competency is awarded to AWS Partners with demonstrated success in helping customers extract value from their data. In the Analytics category, SoftwareOne helps customers build data lakes and analytics platforms on AWS that transform fragmented data into insights. In the Database Services category, SoftwareOne assists customers in migrating, modernizing, and managing production database workloads on AWS, ensuring new applications are built on the right database type and conducting FinOps-driven modernization assessments to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Gudmundur Adalsteinsson, Chief Channels & Ecosystems Officer at SoftwareOne, noted that many enterprises are overspending on databases and underutilizing their data. "With 23 AWS Competencies, this recognition reflects both sides of how we help," he said. "We optimize, modernize databases and move from proprietary licensed engines to open-source alternatives to cut costs. And we help customers innovate, building the data foundations that AI and agentic AI projects depend on. Good data is what separates AI pilots from AI results."
The competency builds on SoftwareOne's existing AWS credentials, including the AWS AI Services Competency and AWS Machine Learning Competency, as well as its participation in the AWS Generative AI Partner Innovation Alliance. These combined capabilities position SoftwareOne to guide customers from data foundations to AI in production. As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, SoftwareOne continues to expand its collaboration with AWS, helping customers modernize their data estates and operationalize AI.
SoftwareOne's achievement is backed by tangible customer results across industries. Popular Book Company in Singapore replaced a legacy SAP Business Warehouse with a data lakehouse on AWS, reducing reporting time by 70% using services like Amazon S3, AWS Glue, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon QuickSight. Tiketti in Finland implemented zero-ETL replication from Amazon Aurora MySQL to Amazon Redshift, cutting latency to under a minute. Phone House in Spain optimized data pipelines with Amazon Redshift, AWS DMS, AWS Lambda, and Amazon S3, slashing marketing campaign creation time from seven days to one hour. These examples illustrate the impact of SoftwareOne's work, as detailed in the original release.
For businesses, this news signals that SoftwareOne is a validated partner for AWS data and analytics initiatives, potentially simplifying the selection of a provider for database modernization and AI readiness. In a market where data-driven insights are critical, SoftwareOne's competency may help organizations reduce costs, accelerate innovation, and bridge the gap between AI pilots and production results. The recognition also reinforces SoftwareOne's competitive stance in the cloud services sector, where expertise in AWS data services is increasingly essential. As enterprises seek to leverage generative AI and advanced analytics, partners with proven AWS competencies are likely to see growing demand. SoftwareOne's global presence in over 70 countries, with about 12,000 professionals, positions it to serve this demand at scale. For more information, visit www.softwareone.com.
