Las Vegas, NV – December 2, 2024 – Help.NGO is excited to announce it is a recipient of a 2024 Geography and Global AWS Partner Award, recognizing leaders around the globe that are playing key roles in helping their customers drive innovation and build solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Help.NGO is excited to announce it has been named the winner of Public Sector Partner Acceleration Partner of the Year, recognizing top AWS Partners that have seen significant YoY growth in their Public Sector business.
Announced during the Partner Awards Gala at AWS re:Invent 2024, the Geographic and Global AWS Partner Awards recognize a wide range of AWS Partners that have embraced specialization, innovation, and cooperation over the past year. Geo and Global AWS Partner Awards recognize partners whose business models continue to evolve and thrive on AWS as they support their customers.
Help.NGO has developed and deployed Convoy on the Move (COTM) communications capacity in support of humanitarian partners working across a range of insecure and disconnected environments. This solution allows for consistent and persistent connectivity across humanitarian convoys and with headquarters focal points, providing increased situational awareness for operational personnel both at field and HQ level.
Ensuring humanitarian convoys maintain connectivity and communications capabilities anytime and anywhere reduces security risks, reduces operational costs and increases operational efficiency. Subject Matter Experts and UN personnel working in Ukraine, Haiti and Somalia have deployed this solution using a combination of traditional UHF/VHF radio communications, Low-Earth orbit satellite connectivity, Medium-Earth orbit satellite connectivity, Geostationary satellite connectivity, 4G/5G cellular connectivity , and AWS Cloud & Edge solutions.
“AWS’s technical expertise and unparalleled suite of cloud and edge solutions position them perfectly as the ideal partner for this solution,” said Brendan Harvey, Executive Director of Help.NGO, “2024 has been the deadliest year for humanitarians in history, and we believe this solution can be a major step forward in ensuring humanitarians have the latest technology to safely stay and deliver, even in insecure environments.”
About AWS Partner Awards
The Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards included a self-nomination process across several award categories, awarded at both the geographic and global levels. All AWS Partners were invited to participate and submit a nomination. Award submissions were reviewed by a third-party, Canalys, and selected with special emphasis placed on customer success use cases.
In addition, there were several data-driven award categories, which were evaluated by a unique set of metrics that helped measure AWS Partners’ performance over the past year. Canalys audited the datasets used to ensure that all measurements and calculations were objective and accurate. Finalists represented the top three ranked AWS Partners across each category.
The AWS Partner Network (APN) is a global program focused on helping partners innovate, accelerate their journey to the cloud, and take full advantage of the breadth and depth of AWS.
