In boardrooms across every industry, one topic continues to dominate strategic discussions: how to harness the power of Generative AI without compromising security, governance, or efficiency. And if you’re like most leaders today, you’re probably asking what it really takes to turn that potential into progress. 

The truth is, success with Generative AI goes far beyond experimenting with new tools. It relies on having the right expertise to build responsibly, scale effectively, and deliver measurable outcomes. Yet with so many cloud service providers claiming AI expertise, it’s not always clear who has the proven experience to make it happen. 

That’s exactly why AWS introduced the Generative AI Competency. It serves as a trusted benchmark that validates AWS Partners who have demonstrated real-world success in designing, deploying, and managing Generative AI solutions. Cloudelligent is honored to have achieved this recognition which validates our position as a trusted partner for businesses pursuing safe and effective AI innovation.
