Amazon Web Services Makes Several Partner Announcements at re:Invent 2015
At AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company
(NASDAQ:AMZN), introduced three new AWS Partner Network (APN)
Competencies that enable and promote partners who have demonstrated
expertise and proven success in DevOps, Cloud Migration, and Internet of
Things (IoT). In addition, AWS announced the 2016 Premier Consulting
Partners, a designation that recognizes 46 APN partners that provide
superior customer service and expertise in building and migrating
customer solutions on AWS. AWS also announced that AWS Marketplace has
grown to more than 2,300 software listings that are pre-configured for
the AWS Cloud and available across 35 different categories that
customers can purchase and launch, many with 1-Click functionality. For
more information, visit http://aws.amazon.com/partners.
With the continued adoption of AWS services across geographies,
industries, and organizations of all sizes, customers are increasingly
relying on tens of thousands of APN Partners across the globe for deep
expertise, specialized technology, and proven success to help them move
to the AWS Cloud for a wide range of applications and initiatives. These
customers are turning to the APN Competency Program to find complete
solutions, and enabling products across categories that include Big
Data, Security, Storage, Digital Media, Healthcare, Life Sciences,
Microsoft (News - Alert) Solutions, SAP Solutions, Oracle Solutions, Marketing &
Commerce, and Mobile. AWS customers are also turning to AWS Marketplace
for their software needs, and today customers around the world are using
143 million hours of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) each
month to run AWS Marketplace products.
"Customers are accelerating their journey to AWS as they transform their
businesses, and they require a broad range of solutions and partner
expertise," said Dorothy Copeland, Head of Global Partner Programs, AWS.
"We are excited to see the growth of innovative partner solutions that
leverage AWS and are expanding our investments in the APN across
training, solutions development, and go-to-market programs. In the past
year, we've seen that, on average, AWS Premier, Competency, and Managed
Service Provider partners have grown their AWS revenue more than a
hundred percent faster than the rest of the ecosystem. Our new DevOps,
Cloud Migration, and IoT Competencies will offer even more opportunities
for partners to deepen their AWS capabilities and grow their businesses."
