“COVID really accelerated governments to act like startups and they have a huge appetite for migration and modernizing what they’re doing.”

That’s the word from Sandy Carter, vice president of worldwide public sector partners and programs at Amazon Web Services.

Carter is a key figure at this week’s AWS Summit Washington, D.C., which zeroes in on public sector needs and innovations — and, of course, channel partners.

Managed service providers, system integrators, independent software vendors, consultants and other third-party experts are key to AWS’ cloud strategy. The provider therefore is “helping them with mission, modernization and migration for 2021,” Carter told Channel Futures.
