In order to achieve the competency, CirrusHQ spent a year demonstrating their considerable
commercial acumen in the education field, wfith reference customers including Avallain and Oxford
University Press. In addition, they needed to demonstrate that they were able to apply the five areas
of the AWS Well Architected Framework to technical deployments in the education sector.
James Lucas, founder and CEO of CirrusHQ, stated: “I’m extremely proud of all the team at CirrusHQ
for achieving this significant accolade. We’re all delighted to be first British AWS partner to be
accredited by AWS under consulting services for the Education Competency. The real beneficiaries
will be the great educational establishments in the UK. Not only will they be able to benefit from the transformational cloud services that only Amazon Web Services can bring, but they will also be able to do so in conjunction with a partner that has proven its credentials in this sector. We look forward to helping many more educators and students to harness the cloud on their learning journeys.”
