Onica Grows AWS Cloud Business Practice
Onica joined the AWS Partner Network (APN) in 2013. Among the company’s key areas of focus: AWS cloud management, migration services, DevOps automation, security and compliance, big data and analytics, Microsoft on AWS, and more.
Onica was founded as CorpInfo in 1983, but the company has focused mainly on AWS the past five years.
The company raised $20 million and acquired Sturdy Networks, another AWS partner, in 2017. In August 2018, Onica acquired Canada’s TriNumbus, yet another AWS partner.
We'll be watching to see if or where Onica surfaces on the ChannelE2E Top 100 Public Cloud MSP list for 2019.
