Unicorne Wins AWS Partner Award for Cloud Transformation

Québec-based cloud consultancy Unicorne has been recognised with the Canada Rising Star Consulting Partner of the Year award at AWS re:Invent, highlighting its rapid growth and rising influence in helping organisations modernise and optimise their operations on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The recognition forms part of the 2025 Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards, which shine a spotlight on AWS partners across the world that drive innovation, improve efficiency and guide enterprises through technology transformation. 

For Unicorne, the award could represent both a validation of its customer-focused strategy and an indication of its growing impact beyond Canada's borders.

Éric Pinet, Unicorne's President, says: “Being named Canada Rising Star Consulting Partner of the Year is a milestone for Unicorne and clear confirmation that our partnership with AWS is creating real value for customers.”

“We have grown by focusing on concrete outcomes: better performance, better visibility on costs and faster delivery on AWS.

"With Stable, our SaaS platform that helps optimise AWS cloud costs and our consulting services, we will keep pushing to help Canadian and international customers modernise with confidence and get more out of every dollar they invest in the cloud."

AWS consulting growth trajectory

Unicorne's recognition follows a year of substantial growth in AWS consulting and implementation projects. The company has carved out a niche in helping clients with the difficult balancing act of migration, modernisation and cost-efficiency. 

The agile consulting model appears to resonate strongly with organisations facing complex hybrid or cloud-native strategies

The company's proprietary platform, Stable, showcases how Unicorne links consulting expertise with practical tooling. Stable gives DevOps and finance teams real-time visibility into their AWS environments, translating sprawling billing data into actionable insights.

For enterprises managing cloud sprawl or scaling digital products, this could mean millions in cost avoidance and a clearer governance structure for cloud investment.

Unicorne positions itself as more than an implementation partner. As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner with a Small and Medium Business Services Competency, it combines technical delivery with ongoing advisory work. 

That includes managed services, reselling and governance frameworks for organisations navigating AWS' expanding feature set. The firm also supports teams exploring generative AI and agentic automation, signalling how it's preparing clients for the next wave of cloud-driven innovation.

Customer success defines differentiation

While technology forms the core of Unicorne's offering, customer success could define its differentiator. 

The award organisers, using third-party validation from Canalys, acknowledged data-driven evaluation, including real customer outcomes and measurable results, a metric-focused approach that aligns well with Unicorne's own model.

Digital learning solutions company illuxi emphasises the consultancy's practical value.

Marc-André Lanciault, the company's Co-Founder and CTO, says: “I've finally found what I was looking for with Unicorne: real knowledgeable professionals, solution-oriented people and epic support.

“Unicorne's team did an AWS Infrastructure Review for us and, right off the bat, they saved us thousands of dollars a year in AWS costs with a few simple suggestions.

“They provided 12 great recommendations, beautifully documented and carefully placed in a priority matrix. They are now implementing those recommendations. We now have a real partner supporting us with our AWS infrastructure and ensuring everything works perfectly as we grow.”

AWS partner award recognition

The Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards at re:Invent 2025 recognise partners that have evolved their business models around the AWS ecosystem and fuelled measurable transformation. 

Submissions underwent a self-nomination process and were reviewed by Canalys, which ensured objectivity through third-party auditing of data sets and client evidence. 

Finalists represented the top three ranked AWS partners in each category, putting Unicorne among Canada's most promising consultancies in the cloud transformation sphere.

For Unicorne, the accolade could reflect both strategic foresight and execution discipline. As enterprises grapple with cloud complexity, Unicorne offers structured guidance, turning technology sprawl into cohesive architecture. 

The bilingual service model, covering both English and French-speaking markets, gives it an advantage in Canada's diverse enterprise landscape and makes it an accessible partner for clients across North America.
