*SoftwareONE to build AWS and Azure Cloud Center of Excellence in Japan *
STANS, Switzerland I 1 November 2019 - SoftwareONE Holding AG, a leading
global provider of end-to-end software and cloud technology solutions, today
announced that it plans to build an AWS and Azure Cloud Center of Excellence
for services connected to the solutions of big hyperscale providers such as
AWS, Google and Microsoft (Azure) in Japan. As a first step to implement
this plan, the company has acquired the business of Massive R&D, a
Tokyo-based Amazon Web Services (AWS) specialist. This acquisition adds AWS
managed and professional services to SoftwareONE's local offering in Japan.
In the near future, the strategy is expected to see additional investments
of significant size into the AWS and Azure Cloud Center of Excellence.
Having successfully migrated more than 10 million end users, SoftwareONE has
a track record of assisting small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) in
migrating portions of their software estate to cloud-based solutions,
including Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. SoftwareONE's Azure- and
AWS-related solutions and services include cloud advisory, migration,
delivery and managed services as well as publisher advisory services and
three bundled products: Simple for AWS, AzureSimple and AWSSimple. These
products give organizations access to the global capabilities of public
cloud providers by establishing a cloud environment, providing robust usage
analytics and offering continuous 24/7 managed service support.
The acquisition of Massive R&D was completed on 31 October 2019 by way of an
asset deal. The company and its team will be fully integrated into
SoftwareONE's AWS Technology Practice. Kenji Hasegawa, Massive R&D CEO, will
lead SoftwareONE's Technology Services in Japan.
