Beginning in late 2019, Keyrus and RunAsCloud collaborated to deliver data and analytics consulting services to a number of major clients using AWS. Both parties noted the clear cultural and technical synergies existing between them, which helped them deliver even more effective solutions for their clients.
In recent months, Keyrus has been collecting data on business trends related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and these clearly show an acceleration in our clients’ shift towards cloud-first operations.
Through this investment, Keyrus aims to expand the partnerships with our clients deeper into the office of the CIO, both in the US and worldwide.
For RunAsCloud, joining forces with Keyrus will allow RunAsCloud to work with a much larger and more global client base. The team’s combined offering places it at the forefront of the industry in terms of executing large-scale data and analytics projects in the cloud.
“Digital Transformation requires the highest level of cloud expertise. Through this transaction, we are developing highly effective means to help our clients compete digitally and in an optimal manner in a post COVID-19 world,” says Eric Cohen, President and CEO of Keyrus.
