Company empowers partners in New Retail and
cross border business capabilities to achieve global business
success
Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing and data intelligence arm of
Alibaba Group, today announced that an additional nine partners
have joined its EMEA Ecosystem Partner Program. Introduced
last year, the program was developed to strengthen the
collaboration between Alibaba Cloud’s customers and partners in
Europe, Middle East and Africa. Alibaba Cloud has also furthered
its commitment in nurturing young talents in cloud computing and
big data by partnering with French local universities. The
announcements were made at Alibaba Cloud Partner Summit, held
during the VivaTech show in Paris.
The new partners on board of the program include Cloud Temple,
Equinix, EVA Group, Groupe Cyllene, GTI Software & Networking,
PROJIXI Europe, SKALE-5, SMILE, and Xebia. By partnering with
Alibaba Cloud, together they can facilitate the digital
transformation of companies in the EMEA region, especially those in
the retail sector by leveraging Alibaba Group’s expertise in
e-commerce, logistics and New Retail. Furthermore, the partners
will be able to tap into the company’s business success and market
insights in order to expand their presence in China under the
“China Gateway” initiative.
“We believe in leveraging our partners’ strengths to create a
strong ecosystem for technologies and solution offerings,” said
Yeming Wang, General Manager, Alibaba Cloud EMEA. “By offering our
state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure and advanced data
intelligence services, together with our partners, we hope to
accelerate companies’ digital transformation, and help them succeed
globally in markets especially in China.”
Existing EMEA partners include companies such as Linkbynet,
Ecritel, Micropole, and Intel who joined the program last year.
They were not alone in identifying the benefits of partnering with
Alibaba Cloud; Gartner named Alibaba Cloud third globally for IaaS
(Infrastructure as a Service) and IUS (Infrastructure Utility
Services), and the first in Asia Pacific in the same space.
With an eye to nurturing future workplace talent, Alibaba Cloud
has also teamed up with local universities in France. In addition
to partnering with Telecom ParisTech last year to introduce cloud
computing and big data training for its students, this year,
Alibaba Cloud announced its partnership with SUPINFO International
University, institute of information technology and computer
sciences created in Paris in 1965 and with over 30 campuses
worldwide. The parties will collaborate closely on matters relating
to course design, certification training, IT infrastructure
building and cross border connectivity.
“We are pleased to partner with Alibaba Cloud to have our
students equipped with useful knowledge on cloud computing
technologies, especially in its applications. We believe in
empowering students through learning and together with Alibaba
Cloud, we can bring the best designed practical courses to them. We
want to offer a rich technology test bed for students to experiment
different skills in order to prepare them to solve real-life
challenges upon graduation,” said Alick MOURIESSE, President of
SUPINFO International University.
“Through the collaborations with local universities, Alibaba
Cloud can bring our knowledge in cloud computing, big data and
artificial intelligence to students in France, which is essential
to improving their competitive advantages in the workplace,” said
Kevin Liu, Country Manager, Alibaba Cloud France & South
Europe. “The partnership with SUPINFO following the tie up with
Telecom ParisTech further demonstrated our commitment to France and
our contributions to talent development.”
In addition to its presence at VivaTech in France, Alibaba Cloud
will also host its Partner Summit in UK and Germany, with the aim
of attracting more participants to its EMEA Ecosystem Partner
Program.
