    SoftwareOne has announced it has achieved the AWS Data Competency in both the Analytics and Database categories, recognising its work helping customers modernise and run mission-critical database workloads on AWS and turn their data into business value. SoftwareOne is a global software and cloud solutions provider.

    The Data Service Competency involves rigorous technical validation across the full data lifecycle. It recognises AWS Partner Network (APN) members with proven customer success and deep technical expertise helping organisations turn fragmented data into holistic, AI-ready architectures on AWS.  

    Validation of SoftwareOne capabilities through the AWS Data Services Competency

    The AWS Competency Program helps customers identify APN Partners with deep industry experience and expertise. The two categories of the AWS Data Services Competency reflect how these capabilities support customers in building modern data architectures. 

    Database Services: SoftwareOne helps customers migrate, modernise, and manage production database workloads on AWS. This includes supporting customers in building applications on the right type of database and running FinOps-driven modernisation assessments that identify where databases can be modernised to reduce cost and improve efficiency and performance. 

    Analytics: SoftwareOne helps customers extract value from their data, building data lakes and analytics platforms on AWS that turn fragmented data into insight they can act on. 

    “We help customers put their data to work by optimising and modernising databases and building the data foundations that AI and agentic AI projects depend on,” said Gudmundur Adalsteinsson, Chief Channels & Ecosystems Officer, SoftwareOne. “This brings our total number of AWS competencies to 22, reflecting all of the different ways that SoftwareOne helps our customers innovate. 

    The competency builds on SoftwareOne’s existing AWS credentials, including the AWS Al Services Competency and AWS Machine Learning Competency, and its participation in the AWS Generative AI Partner Innovation Alliance. Together, they reflect SoftwareOne’s ability to take customers from data foundations to AI in production. 

    About SoftwareOne’s Data Solutions

    SoftwareOne helps customers migrate, modernise, and manage their database and data workloads on AWS, drawing on deep expertise in database engineering, cloud migration and lifecycle management, and building the governed data foundations that agents need to work reliably in production.  

    Proven customer impact on AWS

    SoftwareOne’s success in achieving this competency is built on its track record of delivering results for customers across industries, including:

    • Popular Book Company (Singapore):SoftwareOne replaced a legacy SAP Business Warehouse with a data lakehouse on AWS, using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), AWS Glue, Amazon Redshift and Amazon QuickSight, reducing reporting time by 70%.
    • Tiketti (Finland): SoftwareOne implemented zero-ETL replication from Amazon Aurora MySQL to Amazon Redshift, reducing latency to under a minute.
    • Phone House (Spain): By optimising data pipelines with Amazon Redshift, AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS), AWS Lambda and Amazon S3, SoftwareOne reduced marketing campaign creation time from seven days to one hour.

    “SoftwareOne delivered more than they promised. The speed and flexibility of our new AWS Cloud environment is remarkable, and with Generative AI, our teams are asking questions of our data we never thought possible.  This is the foundation for our next phase of growth,” said Retail General Manager, Popular Book Company.  

    As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, SoftwareOne continues to expand its collaboration with AWS, helping customers modernise their data estates and put AI into production.
