AWS Introduces Three New Competencies to
Support Rapidly Expanding Global Partner Network
AWS also announces AWS Marketplace now offers
more than 2,300 software listings for the AWS Cloud
Forty-six partners from around the world named
as 2016 Premier Consulting Partners
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

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
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.”
