Amazon Web Services (AWS) has partnered with 3M to provide cloud management and services as 3M strengthens its enterprise IT infrastructure, AWS announced on Monday.
“AWS…will deliver the agility, speed, and scalability 3M needs to launch new business processes and service models. We look forward to expanding our use of AWS’s portfolio of services, including analytics and machine learning, to gain greater insights and become an even more agile company in the cloud,” said John Turner, Vice President, IT Systems and Chief Information Officer at 3M.
3M will integrate AWS’ leading infrastructure services to modernize and drive efficiencies across the company’s global market. With AWS services, 3M will enhance its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, including accounting, supply chain management, manufacturing, product lifecycle management and e-commerce, along with business-critical enterprise IT applications.
3M will additionally utilize AWS’ technology to leverage portfolio of services, including machine learning, analytics, storage, security, and databases to optimize and automate operational, manufacturing, and business processes, as well as product solutions.
