The agreement expands Crayon's existing AWS Premier Tier Services Partner role to further cloud adoption and modernization of joint customers. The agreement also represents a new phase in the relationship to create a Crayon team of 500 AWS-certified experts worldwide.

By doing so, Crayon and AWS can bring innovation to clients faster and help them leverage the transformative power of the cloud. Through this collaboration, customers will receive high performance services to manage their IT estate in the cloud, including guidance, tools, and expertise to manage costs, governance, and security. This collaboration will expand Crayon and AWS's reach, offering clients faster, easier, and more cost-effective solutions to meet their cloud-computing needs while continuing to drive innovation and help organizations optimize their cloud environments.
