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
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 6, 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 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.
New APN DevOps Competency launches today with 27 qualified partners offering software, services, and solutions to enable customers in their transformation to agile service delivery using the AWS platform and DevOps principles, including continuous integration, continuous delivery, and configuration management. APN Technology Partners with the DevOps Competency include: Ansible, Apica, Atlassian, Blazemeter, Chef, Cloudbees, Codeship, GitHub, HashiCorp, Puppet, Salt Stack, Solano Labs, Travis CI, and Xebia Labs. APN Consulting Partners with the DevOps Competency underwent a rigorous validation audit to achieve the competency, and they include: 2nd Watch, Cascadeo, ClearScale, Cloud Technology Partners, Cloudreach, Flux7, Logicworks, Pythian, REAN Cloud, Slalom Consulting, Smartonix, Stelligent, and TriNimbus.
The APN Migration Competency will launch in the coming months to enable and support partners who have deep expertise and experience helping customers migrate applications and entire data centers to AWS. Migration Competency partners will offer technologies and services for infrastructure and application discovery, server migration, service monitoring, mass infrastructure migration, data migration and synchronization, enterprise application security and availability, and authentication management.
The APN IoT Competency will launch in the coming months and include partners that provide IoT platforms, analytics, connectivity infrastructure, developer tools, operating systems, professional services, and vertical-focused IoT solutions.
Partners who qualify for APN Competencies are eligible for a number of marketing, business, and technical benefits, including preferred access to AWS private betas, AWS roadmap briefings, and preferred access to Market Development and Customer Proof-of-Concept Funding.
