Signaling Deeper Push into Database Modernization and Data-Driven AI Readiness
Stans, Switzerland, September 30, 2026 – SoftwareOne today announced it has achieved the AWS Data Competency in the Analytics and Database categories, recognizing its work helping customers modernize and run mission-critical database workloads on AWS and turn their data into business value. SoftwareOne is a global software and cloud solutions provider listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Euronext Oslo Børs (SWON).
The Data Competency is one of AWS’s most rigorous partner validations, awarded only to partners with proven customer success and deep technical expertise on AWS.
About the AWS Data Competency: Analytics and Database Categories
Analytics: SoftwareOne helps customers extract value from their data, building data lakes and analytics platforms on AWS that turn fragmented data into insight they can act on.
“Most enterprises we work with are paying more than they need to for their databases and sitting on data they can’t yet put to work,” said Gudmundur Adalsteinsson, Chief Channels & Ecosystems Officer, SoftwareOne. “With 23 AWS Competencies, this recognition reflects both sides of how we help. We optimize, modernize databases and move from proprietary licensed engines to open-source alternatives to cut costs. And we help customers innovate, building the data foundations that AI and agentic AI projects depend on. Good data is what separates AI pilots from AI results.”
Database Services: SoftwareOne helps customers migrate, modernize and manage production database workloads on AWS. This includes ensuring new applications are built on the right type of database and running FinOps-driven modernization assessments that identify where databases can be modernized to reduce cost and improve efficiency and performance.
