DoiT expects AWS growth of 300 per cent in 2025

After a triple digit rise last year, the cloud expert now eyes gains in the 300 zone

FinOps platform DoiT expects to see more monumental growth in its AWS business this year.

James Moore (pictured) was promoted to global VP of sales, EMEA & APAC at the AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure specialist in February.

Speaking with CRN, Moore reveals where DoiT expects to make big gains this year.

“We grew our Amazon business by an incredible 184 per cent in 2024, and we’re forecasting 300 per cent in 2025,” he says.

“Some of that growth is down to our five-year $5bn strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon that we signed in 2023 to drive the AWS business.

“What that allows us to do is drive a closer alignment with Amazon and their strategic priorities, but also in the marketplace and big technologies which are driving that growth with generative AI.

“We were the first partner to achieve that competency globally, and that is also driving a lot of growth for us.”

Moore is also eyeing a major expansion on the other side of the world, highlighting Japan as one of his big bets for 2025.

“We've already launched in Japan, but we're looking to grow that region significantly.

“I’m currently hiring for a country manager to come in and help support the growth of our business in that territory.”

He explains it’s a big market for DoiT, as the third largest economy in the world, and its adoption of technology and cloud is significant compared to other markets.

“By the end of the year I’d like to have established that team, and then also make sure that we have some highlight customers and big wins.”

M&A wasn’t left out of the picture, with $215m set aside as part of DoiT’s five-year plan to continue acquiring new businesses.

The company snapped up PerfectScale and LiveDiagrams in Q1 and is still seeking more acquisition opportunities.

“We’re looking to make commitments to accelerate the evolution of our next generation cloud enablement and management platform,” Moore reveals.

However, DoiT is also feeling the pinch of market conditions and the sheer uncertainty that’s out there, highlighting this as the firm’s current big challenge.

“For a lot of organisations 2025 has been a challenging year given geopolitics and the economy.

“There are a lot of obstacles that people face every day, and the pace of change is significant.

“So we’re trying to help customers with their cloud spend and making sure it’s in line with their operating costs and profitability.”
