Lancom partners with Thread to drive AI & AWS innovation push
Lancom Technology has entered into a partnership with Thread to optimise AWS expenditure and implement artificial intelligence-driven solutions for managed services.
Thread, a provider of AI products aimed at streamlining managed service delivery, has chosen Lancom Technology as its AWS partner to support the scaling of its infrastructure and operations. In exchange, Lancom Technology will adopt Thread's AI-driven offerings across its managed services division in a bid to enhance service delivery and foster further improvement.
Expansion efforts
The arrangement enables Thread to leverage Lancom Technology's cloud expertise at a time when expanding in the United States market often presents significant hurdles due to the high volume of established managed service providers. Mark Alayev, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Thread, said the agreement would support business growth for both companies.
Partnering with Lancom Technology allows us to scale our AWS infrastructure with confidence, knowing we have a trusted partner with deep cloud expertise," said Mark Alayev, Thread Founder and CEO. "We're equally excited to see Lancom adopt our technology to enhance their managed services, creating synergy that will drive innovation and growth for both companies.
Lancom Technology's Chief Revenue Officer, Jahan Kahusi, described the partnership as a timely step addressing the dual challenges of managing cloud costs and making appropriate service selections within the complex AWS environment.
We are thrilled to partner with Thread as a forward-looking client looking to achieve more from every month's AWS spend," said Jahan Kahusi, Chief Revenue Officer at Lancom Technology. "Like many organizations, Thread recognizes that careful management of every aspect of its infrastructure reduces overhead, leaving more for investing in innovation and business growth.
Kahusi also emphasised the importance of not only controlling costs but also navigating the diversity of AWS services effectively.
Navigating the sheer extent of services available from AWS can be a challenge. As a trusted partner with a sharp focus bespoke consulting and delivery, our approach isn't just about managing cost. It's also about choosing the best tool for every job.
Cloud investments
The move demonstrates Lancom Technology's goal of helping clients derive greater value from their investments in cloud infrastructure. Priscila Bernardes, Chief Executive Officer at Lancom Technology, stressed the importance of the partnership as recognition of the company's ability to deliver secure and effective technology outcomes.
Thread has demonstrated its confidence in our ability to deliver scalable, secure, and efficient AWS solutions," said Priscila Bernardes, CEO of Lancom Technology. "With our capabilities backed by AWS credentials, we'll work with Thread to optimise cloud infrastructure to support its growth in the competitive U.S. market and beyond.
Thread's engagement with Lancom Technology comes as both firms seek to serve a growing base of organisations pursuing digital-first strategies. Lancom Technology is part of Evergreen Services Group and maintains a track record of global delivery, including a presence in the United States. The company has been recognised with an AWS Cloud Innovation Award and supports over 600 clients.
Bernardes noted that, as an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, Lancom Technology delivers specialist services globally via a 'follow the sun' model and brings to bear experience as both a managed service provider and software vendor.
Adopting AI
The relationship's reciprocal nature will see Lancom Technology implement Thread's AI solutions within its managed service operations in order to improve efficiency and the customer experience. Bernardes elaborated on the business rationale behind the move:
We're constantly seeking opportunities for improvement and greater efficiencies, because that's the name of the game in managed services just as it is in AWS infrastructure delivery," Bernardes commented. "Thread has a proven offering and value proposal that we'll be introducing for the benefit of our clients in sectors including financial services, healthcare, and professional services.
She also described the initiative as illustrative of Lancom Technology's approach to suppliers and partners, crediting the firm's recent business development in the United States to Kahusi's network and industry reputation.
Securing Thread as both a client and a supplier is a credit to Jahan's extensive networks and recognised ability as an AWS professional, paving the way for further growth and innovation.
