Synthesis, an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, has been named a winner of the 2025 Sub-Saharan Africa AWS Regional Partner Award.
This is an award recognising Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) partners that play a key role in helping customers drive innovation and build solutions on the cloud.
AWS Regional Partner Awards recognise Top Partners of the Year and Rising Star Partners of the Year in SSA, whose business models have embraced specialisation, innovation and collaboration. Winners were selected based on objective criteria, with results audited by third-party analyst firm Canalys.
As a leading AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, Synthesis continues to build on its strong foundation rather than resting on its laurels. Far from being newcomers, Synthesis has been at the forefront of modernisation capabilities for more than a decade, beginning with its own technology stacks and expanding into AI since 2019, establishing itself as a forerunner in the region.
In 2025 alone, Synthesis delivered cloud modernisation services to several major South African banks, as well as Agentic AI prototypes and production use cases across multiple financial institutions. These projects span the full lifecycle: from conception and design through to development and production.
Synthesis offers comprehensive services across the cloud ecosystem, with deep expertise in Cloud, Intelligent Data and AI and Software Development. These are complemented with niche offerings such as RegTech, Cryptography & Security and Payments, supported by the company’s Managed Operations capability.
Further affirming its leadership, Synthesis has achieved multiple competencies including Migration and Modernisation, Microsoft Workloads, DevOps, Financial Services and Security. The company is also in the advanced stages of achieving the GenAI competency and Managed Services Provider.
“This recognition is truly special for us at Synthesis,” says Paul Spagnoletti, Revenue Executive at Synthesis. “We are an organisation that strives for excellence and customer value — identifying emerging technologies and working closely with AWS to turn these into platforms for future business advantage. This positions us ahead of our competition, allowing us to adapt from a place of experience rather than learning from scratch.”
The AWS Partner Network (APN) is a global partner programme focused on helping partners build successful cloud-based businesses or solutions by providing business, technical, marketing and go-to-market support.
