As the competition in South Africa’s cloud services market intensifies, Mpilo Technologies has proudly announced its new status as a select partner with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This partnership grants MpiloTech access to AWS’s comprehensive cloud solutions and resources, positioning them to deliver top-tier cloud services.
Achieving select partner status with AWS enables MpiloTech to leverage an extensive range of resources, training, and support. This empowers the company to develop and implement bespoke cloud solutions utilizing AWS’s full suite of services, including compute, storage, databases, machine learning, and analytics.
Sizwe Mabanga, executive of cloud and app modernization at Mpilo Technologies, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership: “With AWS, we are well-equipped to provide scalable, secure, and reliable cloud services that meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
The announcement comes at a time when the cloud computing market in South Africa is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of over 26% from 2023 to 2028, reaching R113 billion. This growth is supported by increasing digital transformation initiatives across enterprises and government institutions.
A recent report by Africa Analysis, a South African-based ICT market research firm, highlights the significant role of digital transformation in driving this growth. Many organizations are becoming cloud-first to enhance their business priorities and outcomes, contributing to the overall expansion of the cloud market.
Global cloud hyperscalers’ substantial investments in South Africa further accelerate this market growth. Mpilo Technologies, with its new AWS partnership, is well-positioned to capitalize on these trends and deliver innovative cloud solutions that support the digital transformation of businesses across the region.
