Amazon Web Services
For over 15 years, Amazon Web Services has been the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, powering businesses in 190 countries around the world. Today, AWS employs more than 100 employees in New Zealand and opened its first office space in Aotearoa eight years ago to support the nation’s digital transformation by helping Kiwi businesses harness the benefits of cloud technology. Using the AWS cloud, governments and businesses of all sizes have access to a secure, flexible and cost-effective environment for their IT services, which helps Kiwis innovate quickly, take their ideas to the world, and level the playing field.
