Terminix received the award at the Greater Memphis IT Council’s
INNOVATE IT 2021 conference, which was held both virtually and
in-person in Memphis on Tuesday, October 5. Terminix was one of
four large enterprises nominated, and the award was chosen by the
attendees at the conference. The theme for this year’s conference
was “Innovation Through Collaboration.”
Terminix won the award in large part due to its recent
collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) on information
security products. Over the last year, Terminix has helped AWS
develop products like Gateway Load Balancer, MSR (more specific
route), and Transit Gateway, which are now making their way into
companies around the globe.
“At Terminix, innovation remains one of the most important
aspects of our business,” said Joy Wald, chief information officer
at Terminix. “In the ever-changing world of information security,
we are proud to be recognized for our efforts. Our teams are always
watching for the latest emerging trends and data that will allow us
to strengthen our cybersecurity. We are very grateful to the
Greater Memphis IT Council for recognizing us with this award.”
Amazon not only developed products based on the collaboration,
but Terminix created a standard architecture of how to seamlessly
integrate these products for reliability, resiliency, self-healing,
and automated scalability.
“Working with AWS has been a fantastic experience,” said Thomas
Davis, chief information security officer at Terminix. “As one of
the industry leaders in pest control, it was a pleasure for Spencer
Bryant (Terminix IT architect) and me to work with an industry
leader in the information security space. Speaking to my peers at
the INNOVATE IT conference reaffirmed my belief that we are
continuing to evolve on our journey in cybersecurity, and winning
this award is truly an honor.”
Davis sits on the board of directors for the Greater Memphis IT
Council, whose vision is that member organizations will be more
knowledgeable, empowered and successful because of their
interaction with professionals and resources that support
information technology industry in the Memphis area.
This is the second year of the Innovation in the Enterprise
Award. In its inaugural year last year, St. Jude won the award for
its collaboration with World Wide Technology (WWT).
“The Greater Memphis IT Council is proud to have hosted the 2nd
Annual Innovate IT Awards ceremony as part of its INNOVATE IT 2021
Conference,” said Regina Whitley, executive director of the Greater
Memphis IT Council. “The Innovation in the Enterprise Award was
granted to the Terminix and AWS partnership for their collaboration
in refining products for cloud security to address the strategic
area of cybersecurity. This recognition by the conference attendees
is very well-deserved!”
“When the AWS team learned Terminix wanted to start fresh in the
cloud, we offered some of our newest services. Terminix
successfully utilized these services and provided us some very
valuable feedback on them,” said Hart Rossman, Director of Global
Security Practice at AWS. ”By helping them implement Zero Trust in
an innovative way, we accelerated their speed to market, agility,
and automation. This award embodies the culmination of our two
teams collaborating to expedite Terminix’s business transformation.
By focusing on our customer, AWS earned the trust needed to make
this collaboration a success.”
