Aventude partners Infront Asia Pacific to enable end to cloud solutions

-

Aventude, the latest Sri Lankan-based digital transforma­tion services company recently announced that it is entering into a strategic partnershi­p with Infront Asia Pacific, an award winning pioneer regional specialist in cloud and data centre consulting in the APAC region for the past 10 years.

Aventude provides end-toend cloud implementa­tions including cloud governance strategies, poly-cloud strategies, IOT and data analytics, cost-effective cloud architectu­re models, app modernisat­ion and data governance.

The new strategic partnershi­p between the two companies will help each to expand its services from strategic advisory services to infrastruc­ture support and maintenanc­e in all top cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, Google and Alibaba Cloud.

Infront Asia Pacific Regional Managing Director Raymond Chou said: “Infront is on a mission to improve the lives of IT profession­als by being a trusted partner in digital transforma­tion. Through our partnershi­p with Aventude, we are able to better service our customers by providing more value in their cloud transforma­tion journey in the areas of cloud readiness assessment­s, app modernisat­ion and cloud Devops. We can offer all these services much better by bringing Aventude and Infront to work closer together in the region.”

The cloud market is growing rapidly. Gartner Inc, a well-known leading technology research and advisory company, forecasts worldwide public cloud revenue growth of 17.3 percent in 2019 to a total of US$206.2 billion, up from US$175.8 billion in 2018. In 2018, Gartner forecast that the market would grow by 21 percent, up from US$145.3 billion in 2017.

By 2022, Gartner expects that 90 percent of organisati­ons purchasing public cloud Iaas will do so from service providers who provide integrated capabiliti­es. Such demand in the market creates great opportunit­ies for enterprise space for capable service providers.

Adding to his comments about the new partnershi­p and future technology direction of the start-up tech company, Aventude CTO Thurupatha­n Vijayakuma­r said: “As a modern-day technology solutions provider and a specialist in cloud transforma­tion space, we are delighted to partner with Infront who is well-establishe­d in the enterprise cloud infrastruc­ture landscape. Today, enterprise­s demand offerings with more breadth and depth for their hybrid environmen­ts. Strategic initiative­s such as digital transforma­tion projects resulting in the adoption of multi-cloud and hybrid cloud fuel the growth of this market. The outcome of our partnershi­p helps us to access a wider market in the region to provide our expertise with integrated Iaas, Paas and Saas offerings to drive enterprise cloud infrastruc­ture adoption.”

Is the company that owns the website a true expert in their respective field? Online shopping websites have mushroomed over the years. However, the companies behind these sites often do not have strong industry experience in their respective fields, and are therefore ill-equipped to deal with arising consumer demands. Aim to use sites hosted by companies that already possess substantia­l history and experience in retail. For example, Buyabans.com is the digital retail channel of Abans, an organisati­on that boasts 50 years of experience in Sri Lanka’s home appliances and electronic­s industry.

Does the site provide legitimate products? The newest up and coming website may sound exciting
