Reuters signs deal to provide content to Amazon Web Services

Reuters has signed a deal to provide news and data to Amazon Web Services customers.

AWS Data Exchange is a new service for customers to find, subscribe to, and use third-party data in the cloud using AWS Marketplace.

AWS Data Exchange also allows qualified data providers to package, license, and deliver data products to AWS customers worldwide.

“We are excited to be among the first providers of such content in AWS Data Exchange, where our multi-language news data will be made available to a diverse range of AWS customers around the globe,” said Alphonse Hardel, global head of business development and strategy, Reuters at Thomson Reuters.

Reuters had earlier this year announced a collaboration with Amazon to deliver news content to help Amazon Alexa, the voice service, answer customer questions.
