We’re so excited and grateful to announce that phData has been named the 2025 AWS Design Partner of the Year, US & Canada!
Announced during the AWS Partner Awards Gala at AWS re:Invent 2025, this award recognizes AWS Partners who push the boundaries of specialization, innovation, and customer impact.
Earning our first AWS Partner of the Year award is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of, reflecting the strength of the solutions we’ve been delivering for our customers on AWS.
In this post, you’ll see the work behind the win, why customers are choosing phData for agentic automation on AWS, and what this means for the road ahead.
What Makes This Award Special?
The Design Partner of the Year from the Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards recognizes organizations that develop software or hardware that runs on or is integrated with AWS and have achieved a marquee design win with demonstrable regional impact.
The Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards use a rigorous, two-part process. First, AWS Partners self-nominate across regional and global categories, with entries independently reviewed by Canalys, who prioritize real customer success stories.
Second, several categories are purely data-driven, evaluated against objective performance metrics from the past year. Canalys audits these datasets to ensure accuracy and fairness, and finalists represent the top three partners in each category.
The AWS Partner Network (APN) is a global program designed to help partners innovate, accelerate their cloud journey, and fully leverage the breadth and depth of AWS.
Why Did AWS Select phData for its Design Partner of the Year?
For phData, our flagship solution was our Vendor Procurement AI Agent: an agentic checkout automation built with Amazon Bedrock (Amazon Nova‑Act), AWS Lambda, and Amazon ECS to execute end‑to‑end vendor orders autonomously with guardrails and auditability.
This agent turns hours‑long workflows into minutes and creates a repeatable foundation for high‑volume purchasing automation. To look under the hood on how we built this agent and what it’s achieving for our client Order.co, we highly recommend checking out the client spotlight below.
Our partnership with the phData team has provided the foundation to design a highly scalable agentic AI solution on AWS that streamlines order placement across any vendor website, regardless of site‑specific complexities, and I would highly recommend them to others in the industry.
phData’s Approach to Customer Success with AWS
Winning this award affirms that our approach, combining prescriptive architecture, automation, and enablement, drives faster, more reliable outcomes on AWS. These outcomes matter because customers see measurable gains in agility, cost, and operational efficiency.
Clients benefit from our repeatable patterns, proven runbooks, and 24×7 operational rigor, which help them ship trusted data products and AI/ML workloads quickly, without reinventing the wheel. We include code and best practices in every engagement so teams can move fast and sustain success long after go-live.
We are proud to be a leading AWS Services Partner with the AWS Generative AI and Data & Analytics Competencies, supporting results-driven enterprises. We plan, implement, and enable AWS data and AI solutions so teams can scale with confidence.
What This Looks Like in Practice
- Quicker Time to Value: Skip reinventing the wheel and start with confidence. We include all code in the engagement so that you’re not left holding the bag on proprietary solutions.
- Immediate Impact: We assess your use case, optimize data, build insights, and prepare models that drive measurable business value while keeping teams aligned and informed.
- Pragmatic Process: With AWS, we help you capture value incrementally, one use case at a time, instead of betting on risky big bang platforms and hope for success.
