Global tech group invests in leading AWS partner Escala 24×7 to scale cloud capabilities in Latin America, bring elevated service to North America
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Stefanini group, a billion-dollar global technology company specializing in digital solutions, announced today the acquisition of a 60% stake in Escala 24×7, a premier Amazon Web Services (AWS) consulting partner in Latin America.
This strategic move will enable Stefanini to significantly expand its cloud computing offerings, accelerate Escala 24×7’s growth and capitalize on the rapidly developing cloud market in the region. Escala 24×7 expects to garner $100 million in revenue in 2025.
“This investment — one of the largest in Stefanini’s history — underscores our aggressive growth strategy focused on cloud, analytics, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence,” said Marco Stefanini, founder and global CEO of Stefanini group. “Bringing Escala24x7 into our group will significantly accelerate the delivery of new AWS cloud projects in Latin America, a region where both companies have a strong presence. Their deep AWS focus and expertise perfectly complements our existing capabilities, allowing us to provide even greater value for our clients.”
“We are thrilled to join forces with Stefanini group, deepen our services and offerings to current and future customers in LATAM and, in the future, expand our reach to new markets, including Brazil, as we seek to leverage Stefanini’s extensive client network,” said Alejandro Planas, CEO of Escala 24×7. “Only 25% of enterprise data is currently in the cloud, and the synergy between our companies will create a compelling and competitive offering, enabling us to scale and improve our service to clients in their cloud transformation journeys with the strong endorsement of Stefanini.”
Combining Stefanini’s global reach and comprehensive digital transformation capabilities with Escala 24×7’s leading AWS expertise will provide organizations with a powerful, end-to-end solution for their cloud needs. This investment will offer clients greater expertise on AWS cloud journeys, accelerating their migration, reducing operational costs through optimization and ensuring the highest levels of security and compliance. Escala 24×7’s clients will also have simplified access to Stefanini’s comprehensive suite of technology solutions powered by more than 14 years of experience with generative AI.
This collaboration will provide a unified approach to cloud transformation, backed by a team of over 250 cloud experts, more than 380 global certifications and 13 AWS competencies. The group has a strong track record of 1,500 successful projects across 19 countries, including projects for leading regional clients, such as Snap Finance, Allianz, Bancolombia, Banesco Group, Establishment Labs and Grupo Quimmco.
The founders of Escala 24×7 will continue to lead the organization alongside their executive team as the brand integrates into the Stefanini portfolio.
