BT Signs New Five-year Agreement with AWS

UK telco BT Group has expanded its partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), signing a new five-year agreement with the cloud provider. The deal builds on BT's ongoing cloud migration to AWS, and aims to help BT move its legacy systems into "modern, customer-centric microservices."

“This isn’t just a technology upgrade – it’s a customer promise,” said Tom Meakin, chief strategy and change officer at BT Group. “By modernizing our systems with AWS, we’re creating the agility to respond to customer needs faster, deliver more reliable services, and introduce new features that make everyday interactions with BT simpler and more secure.”

“BT Group is putting customers at the center of its continued cloud transformation,” added Jan Hofmeyr, VP of telecommunications at AWS. “By working with AWS, BT is innovating faster, resolving issues more quickly, and delivering smarter, more secure services that better serve today’s digital-first consumers.”

“Our ambition is to build a network that thinks ahead – one that can fix itself before customers even notice a problem,” said Meakin. “We’re in the early stages of this process, but through our work with partners like AWS, we’re one step closer to making it a reality.”
