Clearscale Achieves the AWS Managed Service Provider Specialization

Clearscale, the premier AWS partner known for turning cloud chaos into clear results, announced today that it has achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) credential designation for its Managed Service Provider program. This award recognizes that Clearscale follows best practices and has proven success delivering AWS services to customers.

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions for businesses from startups to small and mid-sized businesses. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify APN Consulting Partners with deep experience delivering specific AWS services.

Achieving the AWS Managed Service Provider (MSP) Specialization differentiates Clearscale as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member that provides specialized, demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success in delivering Managed Services. To receive the designation, APN Partners must possess deep AWS experience and deliver solutions seamlessly on AWS.

“Most MSP providers see the role as a permanent, locked-in arrangement,” said Matt Sollie, architect of Clearscale’s MSP program. “Our goal is to empower customers to reach a point where they don’t truly need us because we’ve modernized their environments, transferred knowledge, and given them the independence to thrive. When we stay, it’s because we’re continuing to innovate alongside them, not because they can’t move without us.”

Clearscale’s MSP program provides all the foundational services clients expect, including incident response, cost optimization, governance, and security. However, what sets their team apart is their ability to act as an embedded innovation partner. Clearscale tailors its services to each customer’s maturity level, from hands-on guidance for those just beginning their cloud journey to strategic optimization for seasoned AWS adopters. Optional 24/7 support, lifecycle-matched offerings, and deep AWS-native expertise ensure clients receive exactly the right engagement for where they are today and where they want to be tomorrow.

“Clearscale truly feels like a part of our team,” said Richard Walker, CEO of Quik!, a Clearscale client. “Clearscale’s engineers are there for us throughout the week and throughout the month. They’re part of our deployment process. They’re part of our security management efforts. They play an important role in our uptime management and monitoring. And they are critical in keeping our infrastructure moving forward.”
