Liberty Latin America has a five-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help customers across Latin America and the Caribbean accelerate cloud transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, and information technology modernisation while meeting stringent data residency, sovereignty, and regulatory compliance requirements.
The partnership creates a foundation for innovation across telecommunications, media, and enterprise services throughout the region.
The strategic collaboration agreement includes three key components designed to support both Liberty Latin America’s internal transformation and enhanced business-to-business (B2B) service offerings for enterprise customers.
First, Liberty Latin America will work with AWS to deploy dedicated on-premises infrastructure within its facilities using AWS Outposts, enabling the company to deliver cloud capabilities while maintaining data within customer-specified geographic boundaries.
This approach addresses stringent sovereignty and regulatory requirements across Latin America while providing the security, scalability, and innovation capabilities of AWS.
Second, Liberty Latin America will migrate certain infrastructure requirements to AWS, using AWS Transform, to make its tech stack AI-ready and modernise over 500 customer workloads and internal systems.
This migration supports Liberty Latin America’s internal digital transformation while simultaneously enabling the company to offer enhanced, secure B2B cloud services to enterprise customers throughout the region who face similar modernisation and compliance challenges.
Third, the collaboration will expand to include deployment of AWS cloud infrastructure bringing AWS compute and storage services to the edge of Liberty Latin America’s network and data centre operations.
As enterprises across telecommunications, financial services, healthcare, media, manufacturing, and government sectors accelerate their cloud adoption, this infrastructure will enable data sovereignty, data residency, and ultra-low-latency applications for customers requiring localised data processing.
“The pace of digital transformation across Latin America and the Caribbean is accelerating, and organisations need technology foundations that allow them to move faster without sacrificing security or reliability,” said Balan Nair, president and chief executive officer of Liberty Latin America.
“Through this strategic relationship with AWS, we’re helping customers across the region to enhance their infrastructure, embrace cloudbased solutions, and achieve their technology ambitions – enabling transformation to happen at the speed the market now demands while addressing the sovereignty and regulatory requirements that are critical to doing business in Latin America.”
“Liberty Latin America’s strategic collaboration with AWS demonstrates how telecommunications providers are evolving from connectivity suppliers to comprehensive digital transformation partners,” said Jan Hofmeyr, vice president, telecommunications at AWS.
