SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 2018--
Virtusa
Corporation (NASDAQ GS: VRTU), a global provider of digital
strategy, digital engineering and IT outsourcing services that
accelerates business outcomes for its clients, announced today that it
has signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web
Services (AWS). The intent of the agreement is to provide enterprise
customers with transformative and sustainable benefits such as
rationalization, technical debt elimination, automation, and
modernization to reduce costs and increase velocity.
"By working together, we believe we can address the increasing
customer demand for cloud transformation expertise in industry verticals
such as financial services, healthcare, life sciences and more to create
significant value for all parties in the process,” said Terry Wise,
global vice president of Channels and Alliances, Amazon Web Services,
Inc. “Virtusa is a valued member of the AWS Partner Network (APN) and
the SCA deepens the relationship between our two organizations to
provide more value to our customers.”
“While the capture, storage, and processing of real-world data from
patients has become technologically feasible, concerns over how to best
utilize this data, both ethically and legally, in research programs
continues to create challenges for the industry,” said Daniel H.
Robertson, PhD, vice president of Digital Technology and director of the
Applied Data Sciences Center for the Indiana Biosciences Research
Institute (IBRI). “By leveraging AWS, Virtusa was able to provide
us with an environment where we can test the value of synthetic data on
Virtusa’s vLife open innovation platform powered by AWS. This allows us
to access some of the best technology, including synthetic data, to
accelerate research for disease understanding, leading to potential new
therapies and digital diagnostics.”
“As a firm, our roots and ethos are deep in software engineering.
With our deep domain and digital engineering expertise, combined with
AWS’s strong technology, we can help customers accelerate time-to-market
and reduce costs for their enterprises. Over the years, Virtusa’s global
clients have benefited from the relationship between AWS and Virtusa,
and with this SCA, they can reap countless new benefits,” said Samir
Dhir, president at Virtusa. “Our program with IBRI is only one example
of how we are working with clients to solve complex industry issues. We
have also solved similar issues for companies in other industries, such
as banking, insurance, media, communication, info services, healthcare
and life sciences. We look forward to a continued collaboration with AWS
and our clients in all industries, to drive transformation efforts
across cloud adoption and innovation, and to help them stay competitive
in this technology-led world.”
Under this SCA, Virtusa and AWS will work closely to develop a greater
talent pool through extensive training and certification of Virtusa
associates on AWS technologies. Another critical tenet of the SCA is to
build solutions to help clients drive their digital transformation and
adopt cloud at a much faster pace, enabling them to innovate in an agile
environment. Virtusa’s strong domain expertise in financial services,
healthcare, life sciences, communication and media industries, combined
with AWS’s innovative technology, will provide customers in all
industries with better solutions to their business challenges.
