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
Within the next few years, FPT Software Europe will accompany Covestro's entire transformation process. Starting with the assessment of customer requirements, the cloud experts analyze the chemical giant's legacy systems; design and implement solutions adapted to the AWS infrastructure. FPT Software Europe's core tasks in the migration process include refactoring legacy applications to preserve their functionality in the new ecosystem while leveraging the full potential of the new platform for the customer. By moving to AWS, Covestro AG is setting itself the goal of creating greater security for productive systems and business-critical workloads. Furthermore, by cloud migration, the company achieves additional benefits such as on-demand scalability of resources, increased productivity, and reduced capital and operating costs. With the move to the cloud, Covestro is laying the foundation for further digital transformation initiatives.
DAX company benefits from cloud migration expertise
FPT Software leverages its best-shore model, which is a mix of off shore, nearshore and onsite delivery to enable fast and cost-efficient processes to serve its customers like Covestro. As an AWS Advanced Partner with 600 highly qualified, certified AWS experts and around 20,000 highly trained IT specialists, FPT Software is able to implement the project in the shortest possible time and with the highest quality.
"As part of our promise to help Covestro accelerate its cloud migration, we have rapidly assembled project teams of cloud experts who work closely with the group's contacts on a day-to-day basis," said Le Hai, CEO of FPT Software Europe. "With the combined expertise of 600 certified AWS and 300 certified Microsoft experts, as well as thousands of other developers, FPT Software Europe is always ready to help European enterprises drive large-scale cloud projects and lay a solid foundation for broader digital transformation initiatives."
Through its partnership with FPT Software Europe, Covestro benefits from the comprehensive expertise of the Vietnamese IT service provider, which has already successfully implemented extensive cloud migration and digital transformation projects for major corporations like Schaeffler, RWE, Innogy and E.On.
FPT Software Europe and Covestro are discussing about further future joint projects in other areas such as managed services, cloud services with advanced application development and SAP implementation services.

Forrester’s 2027 Budget Planning Guides: After A Year Of Caution, Business And Tech Leaders Are Ready To Invest Again15.7.2026 11:00:00 CEST | Press release
While leaders are betting on growth, in the age of AI, spending more is no longer enough According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) 2027 Budget Planning Guides, business and technology leaders are approaching 2027 with renewed confidence as they increasingly accept volatility as a permanent feature of the business environment. After a year of more cautious spending, more than 80% of leaders expect their budgets to increase over the next 12 months, with as many as one-quarter anticipating growth of 10% or more. But planning in the age of AI demands more than bigger budgets: Increasing investment without modernizing operating models, strengthening data foundations, and improving AI readiness will only accelerate fragmented data, duplicated work, and technical debt. To realize AI’s full potential, leaders must rethink their strategies and prioritize investments in operational foundations, governance, and experimentation that drive tangible outcomes. This year, optimism is widespread across f
Post-Quantum’s Algorithm - Classic McEliece - Achieves Global ISO Standardization to Protect the World From Quantum Cyber Attack15.7.2026 10:00:00 CEST | Press release
Ultra-secure encryption algorithm added to ISO standard for Asymmetric Ciphers Classic McEliece is first PQC algorithm to achieve global standardization Organisations in 177 ISO member states can now adopt Classic McEliece to remain secure from attack by both classical and quantum computers Governments including Germany and the Netherlands already recommend the highly secure Classic McEliece algorithm due to its unmatched security credentials It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm - a catastrophic event commonly known as Q-Day. Even before such a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerges it is known that adversaries are stealing encrypted data now, which can be decrypted later - also known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL). Google’s recent use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimise Shor’s algorithm reduces the number of physical qubits required to break today’s encryption, therefor
Thredd Joins The Visa Agentic Ready Programme, Bringing Agent Network Readiness To Issuers Across Europe, Starting With Zilch15.7.2026 09:00:00 CEST | Press release
Thredd, the AI-first issuer processing platform, today announced it has joined the Visa Agentic Ready programme, enabling issuers across Europe to participate in agent-initiated payments without rebuilding their payments infrastructure. Consumer payments platform Zilch will be among the first issuers on the platform to enable agent-initiated payments for its cardholders. As a processor and enabler, Thredd sits at the trust layer of the payments ecosystem. By joining the programme, Thredd is ready to support Visa and its clients as the market moves into agentic commerce. Agentic commerce introduces a new type of payment initiator: An AI agent acting on a cardholder's behalf. The core payments principles do not change. Cardholder permission, issuer approval, authentication and fraud monitoring all still apply. What changes is how trust is established and enforced at the point an agent transacts. Taking a Zilch customer as an example, a cardholder might ask an AI agent to find a product w
