Logicata joins AWS Managed Service Provider Program

Logicata has been accepted into the AWS Managed Service Provider Program after an independent audit of more than 60 controls. The recognition gives the London-based AWS partner another validation point as it targets growing SMB and midmarket customers that want secure, reliable and cost-efficient cloud operations.

Why it matters: - Logicata’s acceptance into the AWS Managed Service Provider Program validates its ability to run customer AWS environments across the full lifecycle, from planning and migration to daily operations and optimisation. - The recognition matters for SMB and midmarket businesses that want enterprise-grade AWS management without building a large in-house operations team.

What happened: - Logicata said Tuesday it has been accepted into the Amazon Web Services Managed Service Provider Program. - An independent third-party auditor reviewed Logicata against the AWS MSP Partner Validation Checklist. - The audit covered more than 60 controls across six areas: business, people, governance, platform, security and operations. - Auditors reviewed documented processes and observed live operations, including incident and problem management, deployment risk management, business continuity testing, automated security incident detection and expert design review.

The details: - AWS MSP Program acceptance recognises partners that can manage the full customer lifecycle on AWS. - Logicata’s CEO Karl Robinson said the validation shows independently that the company’s InfrAssure managed service meets AWS’s highest bar for managed services. - Robinson said Logicata’s customers want AWS environments that are secure, reliable and cost-efficient. - Robinson said those customers do not want to build a large in-house operations team to achieve that result. - Logicata said the MSP acceptance adds to several AWS recognitions, including AWS Cloud Operations Competency, AWS Well-Architected Partner status, Amazon RDS Service Delivery designation and Foundational Technical Review approval for both InfrAssure and its Well-Architected Framework Review service. - Logicata is also certified to ISO/IEC 27001.

Between the lines: - The AWS validation gives Logicata another proof point in a crowded managed services market where third-party credentials can help reduce buyer risk. - The company is positioning InfrAssure as a packaged alternative to building internal cloud operations, security and optimisation functions. - The emphasis on live operational demonstrations suggests AWS was testing not just documentation, but how Logicata handles real-world service delivery.

What's next: - Logicata says customers can use its AWS Managed Services page on Logicata.com to learn more about InfrAssure. - Robinson said the MSP designation should strengthen how Logicata works with AWS and distribution partner Westcon Comstor. - Logicata expects the new status to give customers more confidence when they hand over production workloads and to help the company bring AWS programs and support to more businesses.

The bottom line: - Logicata now has another AWS-backed credential to market to growing businesses that want managed cloud operations, security and cost control without expanding internal IT staff.
