Aramex, a UAE-based logistics leader, has announced a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services to accelerate its global IT modernisation. The collaboration, revealed at Gitex Global 2025 in Dubai, began with the successful migration of Aramex’s Oceania datacentre to the AWS cloud, marking a major step toward building a fully cloud-native, AI-enabled logistics ecosystem.
The initial migration involved transferring 88 virtual machines, including mission-critical databases and application workloads, into a cloud environment designed to meet Aramex’s strict performance, security, and disaster recovery standards. This project lays the foundation for future datacentre migrations across multiple regions, following a phased approach that ensures resilience and business continuity.
Francoise Russo, Chief Digital and Technology Officer at Aramex, described the partnership as pivotal. “By migrating our infrastructure to AWS, we are not just optimising costs and enhancing security. We are building a more agile, scalable, and resilient foundation for our future of logistics,” she said. “This move allows us to harness the power of data, accelerate our digital transformation mission, and deliver a more reliable experience for our customers across the globe.”
Tanuja Randery, Vice President of AWS for Europe, Middle East, and Africa, highlighted the importance of cloud in logistics. “Logistics is an industry transforming at pace. Data and AI are enabling both efficiency and growth, and AWS is delighted to support a global leader like Aramex in its transformation.”
The migration supports Aramex’s sustainability agenda by reducing the environmental footprint associated with physical datacentres. Cloud-based infrastructure allows for more energy-efficient operations while enabling AI-powered automation, predictive analytics, and enhanced customer experience tools across Aramex’s global network.
This announcement aligns with a broader push for cloud adoption and digital transformation in the region. Earlier in the week, AWS also announced a partnership with IBM to launch their first joint Innovation Hub in Riyadh, supporting initiatives such as Saudi Vision 2030 and the UAE Digital Economy Strategy.
