FPT Software Europe Supports DAX Company Covestro With Cloud Migration

ESSEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FPT Software Europe, a subsidiary of FPT Software - leading technology and IT service provider headquartered in Vietnam, has recently announced its strategic partnership with Covestro AG (Covestro). As a leading global manufacturer of polymer materials, Covestro is included in DAX stock market index among major German companies trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Entering a multi-year agreement with Covestro, FPT Software Europe is leveraging its in-depth experience, comprehensive services and best-shore model to support the DAX-listed group in the migration of 290 applications to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform, thereby accelerating its digital transformation journey.

Starting signal for the next generation of IT infrastructure

With the move to the cloud, Covestro is laying the foundation for further digital transformation initiatives.
