LG CNS is strengthening its partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), being recognized as one of the most competitive service providers by the U.S. cloud computing company, the LG Group affiliate said Tuesday.
AWS Premier Tier Partner qualification is given to companies with the most abundant cloud computing business experience in their respective countries.
“The qualification is given to a company which has service quality as verified from many customers' and AWS' verification of its partner,” a company spokesman said. “Earning the qualification from AWS means that LG CNS has been recognized as a leader in the domestic cloud computing market.”
Winning the qualification came soon after the company became Services Partner of the Year of AWS in May. At the AWS Partner Summit Korea 2022, the U.S. company chose LG CNS as its partner that provided excellent cloud computing services to customers in 2021.
LG CNS said it will continue to support domestic customers in the digital transformation by providing AWS' latest cloud computing services, such as Application Modernization (AM).
The AM service is a technology that reconfigures existing applications so that customers using AWS' cloud service can quickly use new services.
In February, LG CNS signed a strategic cooperation contract with AWS for the AM business and launched the Cloud Native Launch Center. Along with its Cloud Application Build Center, the company is now operating two cloud centers and has secured more than 1,000 experts with cloud computing certificates certified by AWS.
“Through cooperation with AWS, we will help our customer companies to enjoy the best cloud computing services and become digital growth partners for them,” Kim Young-shub, the CEO of LG CNS, said.
