Loka Achieves AWS SaaS Competency

SILICON VALLEY, May 14

Loka®, the Silicon Valley-based software consultancy, has achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Software as a Service (SaaS) Competency. This marks the fifth AWS competency Loka has earned since early 2023, following competencies in AWS Healthcare and AWS DevOps as well as membership in the first-ever AWS GenAI Competency class. The AWS SaaS Competency recognizes AWS Partners Network (APN) members that bring deep experience in designing and building software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud-native solutions on AWS, helping organizations transition easily from legacy applications to AWS cloud architecture. 

SaaS solutions present significant advantages over on-premise infrastructure, including greater cost efficiency, easier deployment and scalability, automated maintenance and updates, improved accessibility and flexibility, enhanced integration and customization and more predictable spend. Loka’s implementation of complex SaaS functions and packages has delivered these benefits and more to a wide variety of clients, from Silicon Valley startups to major global enterprises. 

“Racking up five AWS competencies in less than a year is a mind-blowing feat for a small company like Loka, but we’ve always punched above our weight” said Emily Kruger, VP of Product at Loka. "Adding the SaaS Competency further validates all the work we do for clients, specifically in transitioning to modern infrastructure. AWS SaaS solutions are faster, more efficient and more reliable than ever, and deployed properly, they unlock unprecedented opportunities for smart, sustainable growth for businesses of all kinds.” 

Loka is a distinguished member of the AWS Competency Program, which was established to aid customers in identifying Consulting and Technology APN Partners with longstanding, deep-reaching industry experience and expertise. The company continues to connect clients to AWS and its scalable, flexible, cost-effective solutions‍‍.
