"We are incredibly proud to reach Premier Tier - it's a milestone that belongs to every engineer, architect, and leader across phData who has poured their expertise into delivering real outcomes for our customers on AWS," said Sam Mehlhaff, SVP, Partnerships at phData. "From complex data migrations to production-grade Generative AI, we've proven that phData is the team that enterprises trust to turn ambitious ideas into measurable results on AWS."
To earn Premier Tier, companies must complete a rigorous approval process through accreditations and certifications, must demonstrate a long-term investment in their relationship with AWS, and must have extensive expertise in deploying customer solutions on AWS. AWS Premier Tier Services Partners also have a strong team of AWS Trained & Certified technical consultants and have deep expertise in project management and professional services.

Central to phData's AWS practice is the Intelligence Platform, an enterprise AI solution available in AWS Marketplace, built natively on Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon SageMaker, and Amazon Q. The Intelligence Platform deploys AI agents that automate platform operations and business workflows alongside AI experts that provide domain-specific guidance to decision-makers - moving organizations from rearview analytics to predictive intelligence that acts, not just informs.
