world. Going forward, 3M plans to leverage AWS’s unmatched
portfolio of services, including machine learning, analytics,
storage, security, and databases to optimize and automate
operational, manufacturing, and business processes, as well as
product solutions. Through this move, 3M expects to drive
efficiencies, and gain speed and agility in meeting 3M business and
customer needs.
“AWS is integral to our enterprise IT transformation as we look
for better ways to serve our customers, streamline the way we work,
and compete globally,” said John Turner, Vice President, IT Systems
and Chief Information Officer at 3M. “AWS, with its proven
experience and highly performant global infrastructure, will
deliver the agility, speed, and scalability 3M needs to launch new
business processes and service models. We look forward to expanding
our use of AWS’s portfolio of services, including analytics and
machine learning, to gain greater insights and become an even more
agile company in the cloud.”

organization, and it will transform those improvements into
delivery of new applications and services to meet 3M business
needs,” said Mike Clayville, Vice President, Worldwide Commercial
Sales at AWS. “For more than 100 years, 3M has had a relentless
focus on innovation, making scientific discoveries that advance,
