With the AWS NZ Region now live, NEXTGEN and AWS are helping businesses of all sizes make the most of it. Together, they’ve hand-picked specialist partners across core capabilities NZ businesses need. Here’s who they are and how they’re already delivering results.
The new AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region in Auckland offers world-class cloud infrastructure with three Availability Zones, single-digit millisecond latency and true data sovereignty. But even the best technology alone doesn’t drive transformation – it’s the strategy, expertise and execution that turns potential into results.
The right expertise matters
NEXTGEN, the region’s trusted AWS distributor, has been preparing for this moment. Together with AWS, they’ve selected partners who understand the New Zealand market and bring capabilities from AI tools and communications to security, cloud migration, contact centres and app development. These specialists are already delivering results for Kiwi businesses across industries.
Early movers gain an advantage
From industry leaders like Kiwibank, Vector and Datacom to growing SMBs across the country, businesses are already using local AWS infrastructure to improve their operations.
“A local AWS region will be a game-changer, boosting performance, resilience and security while keeping data closer to our customers,” says Ranjit Jayanandhan, General Manager, Experience Hub at Kiwibank.
The window for competitive advantage is open now, and early movers are seeing immediate results: businesses cutting admin time by up to 90%, using AI with greater confidence and building solutions that fit their actual needs rather than working around off-the-shelf limitations.
