About Trianz
Trianz believes that companies around the world face three challenges in their digital transformation journeys - shrinking ‘time to transform’ due to competition & AI, lack of digital-ready talent, and uncertain economic conditions. To help clients leapfrog over these challenges, Trianz has built IP and platforms that have transformed the adoption of the cloud, data, analytics & insights AI.
Specifically, the following Trianz platforms are changing the way companies approach transformations in various disciplines:
- Concierto: A fully automated platform to Migrate, Manage, and Maximize the multi & hybrid cloud. A zero code and SaaS platform, Concierto allows teams to migrate to AWS, Azure and GCP and manage them efficiently from a single pane of glass. Visit www.concierto.cloud for more information.
- Concierto Insights & Agentic AI: is a Data to AI SaaS platform designed to drive data-led transformation at lightning speed. Through conversational AI, organizations seamlessly engage with all their data, unlocking real-time insights, and uncovering hidden opportunities and risks—all within one powerful platform. Visit www.avriodata.ai to know more.
- Pulse: Recognizing that workforces will be distributed, mobile, and fluid, Trianz has built a ‘future of work’ digital workplace platform called Pulse. Visit www.trianz.com/Pulse
Since the market launch of this strategy in mid-2023, Trianz has experienced enormous growth, success and recognition.
- Some of Trianz’ built IP in data and analytics was acquired by Amazon. Since then, Trianz has been made an engineering partner of Amazon for building/supporting connected ecosystems across multiple AWS platforms.
- Most recently, Trianz and AWS have signed a strategic collaboration agreement within which the two companies will work on joint roadmaps/solutions for the cloud; AWS will buy Trianz | Concierto in bulk for AWS partners to use for migrations; AWS will also recommend Concierto to their MSPs and finally, AWS Professional Services and Trianz have signed an agreement for joint solutioning and customer delivery.

Given all this, Trianz is experiencing a significant demand for its SW platforms and consequent growth. To support this growth, Trianz has recently raised private equity capital to scale the company over the next several years (Trianz Announces Strategic Growth Capital Investment by Capital Square Partners (prnewswire.com). It is now bolstering its senior and mid-level leadership with top talent across GTM, Engineering, Services, and Partnership organizations. We are seeking leaders driven by our purpose - to help customers accelerate digital transformations and build the next generation software and services organization.
