Cloud managed service provider (MSP) SmileShark announced on the 11th that it has been named an AWS "SMB Top Engager 2025."
SMB Top Engager is a certification AWS grants to two partners per continental region, selected from approximately 170 partner companies worldwide. The designation recognizes partners who actively participate in AWS's SMB Competency program and contribute to the business growth of small and medium-sized enterprise customers. SmileShark was named one of two SMB Top Engagers selected in the Asia-Pacific region.
Founded in December 2019, SmileShark provides full-cycle cloud management services to startups and SMBs, including cloud strategy development, infrastructure deployment, and operations automation. The company has focused on helping early-stage companies quickly adopt and stably operate AWS systems through content delivery network (CDN) cost discounts and cost optimization reporting support. In 2022, SmileShark ranked first in AWS's SMB Greenfield Partner League (GPL), earning recognition for its cloud deployment capabilities for small and medium-sized businesses.
"Many early-stage companies struggle not with cloud adoption itself, but with operational and cost burdens," said Jang Jin-hwan, CEO of SmileShark. "We will continue to support SMB customers in building cloud environments that allow them to focus on business growth."
