Bend, OR — December 15, 2025 — Platformr, a leading AWS CloudOps automation platform, today announced its strategic partnership with Metal Toad, an Advanced AWS Consulting Partner that empowers organizations to innovate through artificial intelligence, cloud migration, cost optimization, and application modernization.

The partnership combines Metal Toad’s deep expertise in AI strategy, GenAI implementation, modern application delivery, and managed services with Platformr’s AWS CloudOps automation to remove the operational and security barriers that often slow or stall AI initiatives. The companies deliver secure, scalable, and compliant cloud environments required for trusted AI adoption, along with the expertise needed to move clients from AI exploration to measurable business outcomes.

“AI innovation can only move as fast as the security and governance managing it,” said Ryan Comingdeer, CEO of Platformr. “This partnership gives organizations production-ready, compliant AWS environments in under an hour so they can build and scale AI solutions with confidence instead of wrestling with manual configuration and infrastructure complexity.”

For Metal Toad, the partnership strengthens its ability to deliver end to end AI services from strategy and assessment through production deployment. Metal Toad’s GenAI Assessment helps clients evaluate readiness, align AI initiatives to business goals, and define a future proof roadmap. Platformr then provides the secure, continuously governed AWS foundation needed to move those initiatives into production with confidence.

“Platformr has become a force multiplier for scaling AWS excellence across our diverse client base,” said Joaquin Lippincott, CEO and Founder of Metal Toad. “They enable us to elevate our AI and managed services practices by delivering enterprise-quality infrastructure to a broader range of customers, faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.”

This partnership enables organizations to accelerate AI adoption without compromising security, compliance, or operational control. Customers gain continuous governance, centralized visibility, and automated cloud foundations that remove friction from innovation and reduce long term operational risk.
