with Amazon Web Services.
SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass., March 24,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtusa Corporation, a global
provider of digital strategy, digital engineering, and information
technology (IT) services and solutions, announced today it had
signed a strategic cloud migration partnership to support Aecon
Group Inc.'s (TSX: ARE) cloud transformation journey. The deal
underscores Virtusa's strengths in migrating Aecon's digital
operations seamlessly to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud while
managing robust and continuous innovation to future-proof
operations.
To achieve its digital future, Aecon selected AWS Premier
Consulting Partner, Virtusa, to migrate its current infrastructure,
managed services and workloads, such as its core ERP and integrated
applications, from incumbent systems to AWS. Fundamental to

accelerate transformation efforts with AWS globally for the last
decade.
"Virtusa is proud to have been selected by Aecon as a strategic
partner as they advance their cloud transformation journey," said
Sanjay Deshpande, Executive Vice
president and Head of Banking and Financial Services, Americas,
Virtusa. "Bringing Aecon into our diverse customer ecosystem
reaffirms our great teamwork, excellent delivery track record, and
strong rapport we've built with our customers to implement
market-ready solutions that accomplish successful cloud migration,
modernization, and innovation journeys."
"One of the biggest challenges facing businesses today is not
keeping up with the rate of change in IT to work, interact and
communicate," said Adam Templeton,
Vice President of Information Services Aecon Group. "We look
forward to partnering with Virtusa to further Aecon's value
internally by optimizing our team's digital operations and
improving the structural integrity that enables us to deliver
business impact that our customers see first-hand."
Virtusa and Aecon will work together to identify opportunities
for cloud migration across Aecon's operations and infrastructure,
enabling Aecon to benefit from AWS's scalable and cost-effective
solutions while leveraging Virtusa's proven track record of
delivering successful cloud migration projects.
