Synthesis in the forefront of AI solutions, and AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, announced that it was named a winner of the 2025 Sub-Saharan Africa AWS Regional Partner Award, an award recognizing Sub-Saharan Africa partners that play a key role in helping customers drive innovation and build solutions on AWS.
AWS Regional Partner Awards recognize AWS’s Top Partners of the Year and Rising Star Partners of the Year in SSA, whose business models have embraced specialization, innovation, and collaboration. AWS Partner Awards recognize partners whose business models continue to evolve and thrive on AWS as they work with customers. 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 modernization capabilities for over 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 modernization services to several major South African banks, as well as AgenticAI prototypes and production use cases across multiple financial institutions. These projects span the full lifecycle: from conception and design, through to development and production. Truly reflecting the company’s deep commitment to innovation and delivery excellence.
Synthesis offers comprehensive services across the AWS ecosystem, with deep expertise in Cloud, Intelligent Data & AI, and Software Development. These are complemented with niche offerings such as RegTech, Cryptography & Security, and Payments, all supported by the company’s Managed Operations capability that ensures consistent value assurance for clients.
Further affirming its leadership, Synthesis has achieved multiple AWS competencies including: Migration & Modernization, Microsoft Workloads, DevOps, Financial Services, and Security. The company is also in the advanced stages of achieving the GenAI competency and Managed Services Provider, underscoring its continued growth and specialization.
“This recognition is truly special for us at Synthesis,” says Paul Spagnoletti, Revenue Executive at Synthesis. “We are an organization 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.”
