The amazee Reunion: amazee.io Acquires Amazee Labs, Reuniting Two Tech Powerhouses

After years spent apart but always with a strong working relationship, amazee.io has acquired Amazee Labs, bringing the two former sibling companies back together. This is more than just a business acquisition; it’s a fusion of strengths and expertise in artificial intelligence and maintenance that aims to create greater value for customers, agency partners, and employees alike.

A Shared History Comes Full Circle

amazee.io and Amazee Labs used to operate under the same umbrella: the Amazee Group. Originating in Zurich, Amazee Labs, a specialist web agency with a deep commitment to Drupal and open source web development, was founded in 2007. The organization’s focus on high-quality delivery soon revealed a need for reliable, data-sovereign, and high-performance hosting. To meet this need, amazee.io was launched in 2016. Amazee Metrics, a digital analytics and marketing consultancy, was part of the group to complement Labs’ and amazee.io’s offerings with expertise in data-driven performance and measurement. The Amazee Group provided a complete digital package: Amazee Labs would design and build, Amazee Metrics would optimize and measure, and amazee.io would host and manage the cloud infrastructure. While each company operated as an independent, separate entity, by working together, they were able to offer a powerful, end-to-end service for customers.

In 2022, US-based cloud giant Mirantis acquired amazee.io. This strategic move enabled amazee.io the scale and resources necessary to accelerate its mission as a global hosting provider.

Now, amazee.io and Amazee Labs are reuniting, combining their strengths to create a more powerful, integrated force in the AI industry. It’s a story of coming full circle, where experience, knowledge, and heritage align to create a company stronger than the sum of its parts.

Why We’re Reuniting 

The strategic reasons for this reunion are clear:

• Complementary Skills and Expertise: Amazee Labs brings deep technical expertise and AI capabilities into amazee.io’s consulting division, bridging cloud technology and artificial intelligence to offer greater value to customers.
• End-to-End Customer Value: Together, we deliver a comprehensive experience, from application maintenance to infrastructure and optimization, ensuring our clients receive solutions that evolve with their changing needs.
• Shared History and Connections: This acquisition reunites many former colleagues who have worked side by side before—people who already know how to collaborate effectively and share a deep mutual respect.

However, the reasons behind this acquisition are not limited to business growth. We’re looking to unlock the full potential of two companies with complementary skills, a shared history, and a commitment to open source, thereby providing a better overall experience for our customers and agency partners.

What This Means for Customers

While the expanded amazee.io now includes Amazee Labs' wealth of experience in web maintenance, it's important to note that amazee.io will not operate as a digital agency. The company is fully committed to supporting and maintaining the sites and applications of current Amazee Labs customers, who will continue to receive the same high-quality support and maintenance from their existing support team. But rather than focusing on major relaunch projects and builds, we will concentrate on supporting and maintaining clients’ existing platforms. This approach allows us to complement, rather than compete with, our agency partners and clients.

The consolidation of our two companies creates immediate benefits for customers and partners:

• Integrated Solutions: Products and professional services now work seamlessly together, offering a more cohesive experience. For example, clients can expect tighter integration between maintenance and hosting services, leading to improved performance and reliability.
• Accelerated Innovation: By pooling our expertise and resources, we can deliver new innovations more quickly. This might include advanced AI-driven analytics or cutting-edge cloud optimization techniques.
• Expanded Support and Reach: Customers gain access to a wider network of knowledge, talent, and support, ensuring faster problem resolution and more comprehensive service.

People First: Culture and Team Integration

At the heart of this reunion are the people who make it all possible. amazee.io has always fostered an environment where individuals can grow, developing their skills and experience. This mindset, coupled with a culture built on respect and collaboration, has led to long-term team loyalty, with some members having been with the company since its inception.

We’re not simply merging two teams of strangers—we’re bringing together colleagues who already have experience working together and are excited to do so again. The focus on people ensures that the merger has a highly personal element, going beyond being merely a strategic move, and offers employees new opportunities for growth and development.

What does the Future Look Like?

This reunion marks the beginning of a new chapter. With our combined expertise and shared goals, the newly expanded amazee.io is poised to:

• Develop innovative products and services that anticipate market needs, such as AI-enhanced hosting solutions.
• Strengthen customer relationships through more integrated solutions, offering a seamless experience from hosting to maintenance and beyond.
• Provide white-label professional services and maintenance services to our agency partners.
• Lead the industry with a unified vision of growth and excellence, setting new standards in open source technologies and cloud hosting.

A Stronger, Unified Company

The reunion of amazee.io and Amazee Labs reminds us that sometimes the best partnerships are those rooted in shared experience. By coming together, we're combining our strengths and knowledge to deliver more value than ever before.

Stay tuned for more updates and exciting developments from the newly unified amazee.io. The best is yet to come!
