Version 1 named a Leader in AWS Ecosystem Partners report by ISG

ISG views the UK AWS market as entering a new phase of maturity, shifting from migration-led cloud adoption towards AI-powered transformation, data modernisation, application modernisation and managed business outcomes. Organisations continue to prioritise productivity, cost efficiency and cloud flexibility, but growing complexity, skills shortages and heightened requirements around security, governance, compliance and data sovereignty are increasing demand for specialist AWS partners. At the same time, GenAI and agentic AI are moving from experimentation into enterprise-scale deployment, placing greater importance on strong data foundations, automation, FinOps and responsible AI governance.  

In this challenging market it was great to be recognised by ISG as a Leader across all the quadrants (Professional Services, Managed Services, Data Lifecycle Management Services and AI-powered Business Transformation) in the AWS Ecosystem Partners UK report. 

We were recognised by ISG as a Leader for the breadth and depth of our AWS capabilities, combining a strong UK market presence and AWS credentials with significant investment in AI, data, cloud modernisation and next-generation managed services. ISG highlights Version 1’s AI-enabled migration and modernisation capabilities, broad technology partner ecosystem and experience supporting complex and regulated environments. It also recognises the company’s focus on digital sovereignty and sustainability, comprehensive data lifecycle capabilities, and growing strength in GenAI and agentic AI. Together, these capabilities enable Version 1 to support customers across the full AWS transformation lifecycle, from strategy and modernisation through to data, AI and ongoing cloud operations
