Thoughtworks, a global technology consultancy that integrates strategy, design and engineering, announced its acquisition of privately-held Itoc, a leading Amazon Web Services (AWS) Advanced Consulting Partner and Cloud Managed Services Provider in Australia. The acquisition expands Thoughtworks’ capabilities to modernize and place digital at the heart of operations for clients on their journeys to the cloud.
As one of the first AWS partners in the Asia Pacific region, Itoc offers a full spectrum of consulting and implementation services on AWS with over 100 certifications, including security and SaaS. Founded in 2012, Itoc has about 70 employees who have worked with established companies and digital natives across multiple industries, such as Comestri, Frollo, Judobank and MyTreasur-e, on their cloud migrations. Itoc was recognized as AWS’ 2021 consulting partner of the year in Australia for its deep expertise with AWS services to develop new products, rethink business models and drive extraordinary solutions for clients.
“While businesses looking to modernize operations are moving to the cloud for increased speed at scale, they are also looking for ways to innovate, enhance customer experiences and stand out from the competition,” said Guo Xiao, president and chief executive officer, Thoughtworks. “I am excited about making this acquisition happen with the highly talented team at Itoc who have accelerated hundreds of clients’ digital transformations through the creative and optimum use of their IT infrastructure on a highly-flexible AWS cloud platform.”
