adesso Achieves AWS Premier Tier Status in the Amazon Web Services Partner Network

adesso announced today that it has achieved Premier Tier in the AWS Partner Network (APN). Achieving AWS Premier Tier Services Partner status differentiates adesso as an AWS Partner who demonstrated expertise and notable success in helping customers design, architect, build, migrate, and manage their workloads on AWS.

“We are proud to be recognized as an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner,” said Alwin Penner, Global Head of Cloud at adesso. “This recognition reflects the commitment and expertise of our teams in helping customers successfully design, build, migrate, and operate cloud-based solutions on AWS. Together with AWS, we enable our customers to turn technology into measurable business value and accelerate their digital transformation.”

To earn Premier 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 Tier Services Partners also have a strong team of AWS Trained & Certified technical consultants and have deep expertise in project management and professional services.

adesso helps organizations migrate to AWS, build solutions on the platform, and maximize its value. As a long-standing AWS Partner, adesso supports customers across the entire cloud journey – from strategy and migration to modernization, data and analytics, and agentic solutions. These services are also available as managed services from a single source. adesso has particular expertise in regulated industries such as finance, insurance, healthcare, and the public sector, where strict compliance and data protection requirements demand rigorous cloud governance.

Over the past two years, adesso has further strengthened this expertise by earning four AWS Competencies: DevOps, Data and Analytics, Digital Sovereignty, and Migration and Modernization. Achieving AWS Premier Tier Services Partner status now confirms these capabilities at the highest partnership level AWS awards.

"These Competencies did not happen by accident – each one reflects hands-on work with customers facing hard technical requirements, from regulated industries to legacy migrations. Premier Tier status confirms that depth across the board. For our customers, it means an even stronger technical partner on their AWS journey," said Markus Ostertag, Chief AWS Technologist at adesso.

One example of adesso’s AWS expertise is its work with the energy company EWE Trading to secure business-critical processes through Disaster Recovery on AWS. Together, adesso and EWE Trading identified 18 critical business processes, defined recovery targets and tolerable downtimes, and implemented the required infrastructure in the AWS Dublin Region as Infrastructure as Code. The existing Kubernetes cluster was mirrored, and realistic emergency scenarios were tested during dedicated “gamedays”. The solution minimizes recovery times and largely eliminates data loss in the event of a large-scale power failure.

“Reliability and security of supply are key issues for us at the EWE Group. In adesso, we have a strong partner at our side who, with their technical expertise and innovative solutions, supports us in successfully overcoming these challenges and future-proofing our systems,” said Peter Stomberg, Head of Trading-IT at EWE.
