In the contemporary business landscape, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs) are increasingly leveraging cloud technology to innovate, expand their customer base, generate new revenue streams, and enhance productivity. Recognizing the unique requirements of these businesses, including regional and industry needs, deployment preferences, and IT capabilities, it is crucial to collaborate with experts.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partners have proven to be instrumental in helping customers achieve their business goals with AWS. In line with this, AWS introduces the Small and Medium Business Competency, designed to aid customers in finding partner solutions that cater to the diverse and evolving needs of their businesses.
SMB Competency Partners from AWS offer comprehensive solutions across various SMB needs, including platform solutions such as migration, modernization, security, data storage, disaster recovery, and artificial intelligence/machine learning. Additionally, they provide Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions covering areas like accounting, resource management, customer service, and relationship management.
To attain this specialization, AWS Partners undergo rigorous technical validation, including the review of architecture and customer case studies. The AWS Competency Program aims to showcase Partners with technical proficiency and proven success in specialized solution areas.
AWS encourages exploration of recommended SMB Competency Partner offerings, which include a diverse range of solutions from different AWS Services Partners and AWS Software Partners. These partners undergo thorough assessments to ensure they meet the high standards set by AWS.
Whether it’s migration planning, security assessment, or managing cloud operations, AWS SMB Competency Partners, such as ClearScale, CloudDog Consulting Services, and Sendbird, offer tailored solutions to help SMBs thrive in the cloud environment. The AWS Competency Program not only highlights technical excellence but also provides unique benefits to Partners, facilitating further investment in their SMB initiatives.
