Connectria, a leading Amazon Web Services (AWS) managed services provider with specialized IBM skills and over two decades of supporting highly compliant workloads, announced it has become an AWS Premier Consulting Partner.
Achieving this status places Connectria in a select group of top AWS Partner Network (APN) members and differentiates it as an AWS Partner who consistently demonstrates expertise in understanding customer needs and helps them architect, build, migrate, modernize, and manage workloads on AWS. The majority of Connectria’s AWS clients adhere to regulatory compliance such as HITRUST, HIPAA, GDPR and PCI.
“Becoming an AWS Premier Consulting Partner is a tremendous accomplishment and a testament to our ongoing commitment to helping customers harness the value of AWS. Our deep expertise with security and compliance, IBM Power Systems, and an ever-expanding eco-system of AWS products and services is at the heart of our success in helping customers innovate and transform their business in ways never before imagined,” said Amar Patel, Chief Executive Officer at Connectria.
To achieve AWS Premier Consulting tier, companies must complete a rigorous approval process through accreditations and certifications, must demonstrate a long-term investment in their relationship with AWS, and must have extensive expertise in deploying customer solutions on AWS. AWS Premier Consulting Partners also have a strong team of AWS trained and certified technical consultants and have deep expertise in project management and professional services.

The Journey to Becoming a Premier Partner
Connectria was founded as an infrastructure consulting firm in 1996 and entered the Hosting Market in 1998. Its primary goal was to help businesses strengthen their security and compliance posture with IBM I and AIX. Connectria has continued to grow and evolve by investing in emerging markets and new technologies.
Connectria began its journey with AWS in 2013 as a launch partner for their Managed Service Provider (MSP) program and in less than a year became an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner. After years of managed service growth, Connectria acquired WSM International in 2019 to add professional services capabilities and deliver cloud migration and digital transformation services for organizations of all sizes.
