Ramp has announced a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS), along with its availability in AWS Marketplace. Strategic collaboration agreements are AWS's tier of co-sell partnerships designed to deepen joint go-to-market work with software providers; combined with a Marketplace listing, they typically let AWS customers purchase a vendor's product through their existing AWS commitments. Together, the agreement and marketplace listing give AWS customers a faster path to modernizing finance operations using Ramp's AI-powered platform, which spans corporate cards, expense management, bill payments, procurement, travel, banking, automated bookkeeping, and AI-powered controls.

"Enterprise finance teams are ready for AI to take manual work out of the back office, but they need a practical path to adoption," said Guy Cartwright, VP of Channel Sales at Ramp. "This collaboration helps customers bring more automation and control into finance operations without adding friction for their procurement or IT teams."

AI-enabled finance for the agentic era

Under the collaboration, Ramp's AI agents operate inside the platform, coding expenses, enforcing policy, and processing invoices around the clock, giving finance teams continuous automation without sacrificing oversight. Every action remains auditable, reversible, and bound by enforceable financial guardrails. This emphasis on auditability reflects a broader enterprise concern: as companies deploy AI agents in business processes, finance and compliance leaders have increasingly called for controls that keep automated actions traceable and reversible.

Two Ramp capabilities are particularly relevant for customers scaling AI workloads. Ramp Stack is an AI platform for accounting firms that encodes a firm's methodology into repeatable, agent-driven workflows, enabling faster closes with a complete audit trail. Ramp AI Token Spend Management provides finance and engineering teams with real-time visibility and control over LLM and AI API costs, so that spending on AI infrastructure scales with intention rather than by surprise — a growing pain point for enterprises, where token and API costs from LLM usage are often metered across cloud providers and can escalate quickly without dedicated monitoring. The pairing of an AWS partnership with AI spend governance also signals how spend-management vendors are positioning themselves alongside cloud platforms as AI infrastructure becomes a recurring line item in corporate budgets.
