Rackspace Technology™ (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end
cloud technology solutions company announced today that it has
achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Travel and Hospitality
Competency status.
This designation, enabled by Rackspace Technology’s acquisition
of Onica, recognizes that the company has demonstrated deep
experience in helping customers transform their business from
behind-the-scenes operational efficiencies to guest-facing customer
experiences. The launch of the AWS Travel and Hospitality
Competency comes at a crucial time for the industry as customers
look to innovate in the face of unique challenges created through
COVID-19.
The AWS global travel and hospitality practice helps companies
of every size and segment – including airlines, airports, ground
transportation, travel services, restaurants, lodging,
entertainment venues and casinos, cruise lines, and technology
providers – to stay agile and accelerate innovation.
Rackspace Technology enables transformation through cloud-native
innovations for travel and hospitality companies. Leveraging
next-generation technologies allows travel and hospitality
companies to better predict customer behavior, streamline processes
and create more tailored experiences as they work to modernize
their businesses.
“As a leading cloud solutions provider, Rackspace Technology
supports a wide range of travel and hospitality companies to
leverage key cloud technologies such as IoT and data analytics for
continuous innovation and improvement on the customer experience,”
said Tolga Tarhan, CTO, Rackspace Technology. “We are proud to be
recognized as one of the first AWS Partners to achieve the AWS
Travel and Hospitality Competency and continue driving business
transformation in the industry.”
AWS launched the AWS Travel and Hospitality Competency to help
customers find highly specialized AWS Partners and take on the
heavy lifting of identifying and validating industry leaders with
proven customer success and technical proficiency. Achieving the
AWS Travel and Hospitality Competency differentiates Rackspace
Technology as an AWS Partner with deep domain expertise in one or
more of the following categories: Data 360, Digital Customer
Engagement, Smart Assets, Core Travel and Hospitality Applications,
and Consulting Services providing strategic guidance and deployment
services.
“Travel and hospitality companies are looking to transform their
business with AWS. To help customers make the right choices when
finding the most qualified AWS Partner for the job, we launched the
AWS Travel and Hospitality Competency,” said David Peller, Managing
Director, Travel & Hospitality, Amazon Web Services, Inc.
“These AWS Partners are vetted by AWS for their technology
capabilities and have a track record of success in the travel and
hospitality industry and we are delighted to include Onica, a
Rackspace Technology Company in the launch of the AWS Travel and
Hospitality Competency. We look forward to innovating together and
continuing to serve the industry to help shape the way we fly,
stay, eat, and experience the world in the years to come.”
AWS enables scalable, flexible and cost-effective solutions from
startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration
and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS
Competency Program to help customers identify Consulting and
Technology AWS Partners with deep industry experience and
expertise.
