Their deep AWS focus and expertise perfectly complements our existing capabilities, allowing us to provide even greater value for our clients."

"We are thrilled to join forces with Stefanini group, deepen our services and offerings to current and future customers in LATAM and, in the future, expand our reach to new markets, including Brazil, as we seek to leverage Stefanini's extensive client network," said Alejandro Planas, CEO of Escala 24x7. "Only 25% of enterprise data is currently in the cloud, and the synergy between our companies will create a compelling and competitive offering, enabling us to scale and improve our service to clients in their cloud transformation journeys with the strong endorsement of Stefanini."

Combining Stefanini's global reach and comprehensive digital transformation capabilities with Escala 24x7's leading AWS expertise will provide organizations with a powerful, end-to-end solution for their cloud needs.
