Crayon Partners with AWS
Crayon, a global leader in digital transformation, announced on Monday that it will work with Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company, as part of the company’s new Generative AI Partner Innovation Alliance. The Generative AI Partner Innovation Alliance will help scale and expand the reach of the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC), a program that helps AWS customers successfully build and deploy generative AI solutions.
Crayon said it will use GenAIIC’s proven methodology as part of the Partner Innovation Alliance and collaborate with AWS to help more customers globally access essential resources for proof-of-concept and production implementations, bringing industry- and region-specific expertise.
Florian Rosenberg, CTO at Crayon, said, “As generative AI capabilities continue to rapidly evolve, ensuring trust and compliance is paramount for enterprise adoption – especially in highly regulated industries. Through the Partner Innovation Alliance, we’ll collaborate closely with AWS to implement rigorous security, risk management and governance frameworks that allow our customers across Europe to confidently and responsibly leverage generative AI’s power.”
When did the journey begin?
The company said it first launched the AWS GenAIIC in June 2023 to connect customers with AWS AI/ML scientists and strategy experts and help companies envision, identify, and develop generative AI solutions. Since its launch, the GenAIIC has helped thousands of customers, including DoorDash, Nasdaq, and the PGA TOUR, achieve success with generative AI, and more than 50 percent of the proof-of-concept solutions developed through the GenAIIC are now in production for customers.
