HCL Technologies recently announced that the company will be adding 10,000 professionals to boost its newly launched Amazon Web Services (AWS) Business Unit (AWSBU) to help enterprises worldwide accelerate their cloud transformation journey.
The new devoted business unit inside HCL will be supported by AWS engineering, options and business groups which will help businesses modernise their legacy systems and mainframe applications and reliably adopt cloud technologies that boost efficiency, achieve objectives and meet regulatory compliance, all the while migrating and managing SAP workloads on AWS.
HCL currently holds five AWS competencies, has more than 10,000 professionals trained on AWS, and plans to boost this capacity to more than 20,000 specialists in the near future.
“HCL is an AWS Premier Consulting Partner capable of providing an end-to-end road map for adopting AWS to best serve our mutual customers, with a firm heritage in modernising infrastructure, applications and data. With the launch of the HCL AWS Business Unit, HCL will leverage its vertical-first focus on FSI, telco, and energy and utilities plus deep technical expertise on SAP, contact centres, hybrid cloud and mainframe modernisation transform businesses and consumer behaviour using technology when they need it the most,” said Doug Yeum, Head of WW Channels and Alliances, AWS.
Kalyan Kumar, Chief Technology Officer and Head, Ecosystems, HCL Technologies, said, “The AWS BU is an important part of our larger #HCLCloudSmart strategy in servicing every aspect of cloud delivery to build effective ecosystems that help our customers stay ahead of their competitors. Leveraging our extensive relationship with AWS, the AWS BU synergises the best of what both companies have to offer, driving digital, cultural and customer-centric transformations.”
HCL will also provide end-to-end AWS Managed Services through HCL’s ElasticOps and help build mature solutions on AWS, optimise costs and provide improved business agility.
The unit will assist enterprise shoppers to modernise and migrate at scale, maintain value benefits and deal with experimentation by combining HCL’s expertise and experience in constructing adaptive cloud smart portfolios and AWS’ depth and breadth of companies and fast innovation. HCL is uniquely positioned to help enterprises, both as a global systems integrator (GSI) and an independent software vendor (ISV), with a cloud-focused ecosystem and product innovation strategy.
The company unit also hopes to facilitate revenue growth and user experience by developing customised industry solutions built with AWS services and investment.
