AWS Partner Awards recognise 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 modernisation capabilities for over a decade, beginning with its own technology stacks and expanding into artificial intelligence 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 – 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 by niche offerings such as regulatory technology, cryptography, and security and payments, all supported by the company’s managed operations capability that ensures consistent value assurance for clients.
Growth and specialisation
Further affirming its leadership, Synthesis has achieved multiple AWS competencies, including migration and modernisation; Microsoft workloads; DevOps; financial services; and security. The company is also in the advanced stages of achieving the generative AI competency and managed services provider, underscoring its continued growth and specialisation.
“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.”
