As a leading transformation consultancy, the commitment to achieving outcomes for our clients has always motivated us to attract and develop the best talent. Doing so enables our clients to gain the tools, processes and skills they need to become tomorrow’s disruptors.
Driven by this commitment, ECS has been on its own journey, and is pleased to announce that after months of rigorous vetting and validation, we have been awarded the DevOps competency partner status by AWS – one of only 12 UK headquartered businesses.
Not only are we extremely proud of the team – without whom this wouldn’t have been possible, we are equally proud of the engagements that enabled us to apply for the competency in the first place.
What’s important to AWS during these assessments is the ability to demonstrate our skills in a specialised area, as well as AWS technical expertise and proven customer success. Being able to draw on recent engagements with Intelliflo, Cancer Research and two out of the five top UK banks enabled us to tick the required boxes and showcase one of the key services we provide our clients.
As more enterprises choose to digitally transform, many look to DevOps as an accelerator to achieving greater innovation, automated processes and collaborative engineering. But saying you do DevOps is different to achieving true synchronisation across your IT functions; and bridging the gap between those IT functions, the wider business and your customers.
This award is an independent verification of ECS’ expertise and experience in the DevOps space. It not only recognises our commitment to customer outcomes; it is an industry benchmark to say that our customers can rest assured that they will receive the consultation and advice they need to create and implement their own bespoke DevOps environment.
Whilst it’s nice to receive recognition from one of our valued partners, challenging ourselves to complete an AWS competency is always about bettering our team so we can offer greater value to our clients. This has been achieved in a number of ways:
In the words of Jason Man, DevOps Practice Lead at ECS:
“I have been part of ECS for 8 years and over the years, I have had the pleasure of personally driving, mentoring and watching the DevOps arm of ECS grow in strength – and this wouldn’t have been possible without the talent, enthusiasm and determination of our team. This recent milestone not only recognises our commitment to continually learning so we can best serve our clients, it also recognises the talent of our team who have collaboratively delivered so many great projects. The AWS DevOps competency further enhances our position as one of the top digital transformation consultancies and we’re grateful to AWS for seeing our value and endorsing the ECS DevOps capability.”
