We are pleased to unveil the APN Customer Engagements (ACE) Program, designed to empower APN Partners in fostering successful customer interactions on AWS. Building on the foundation established by our APN Opportunity Management Program, which has been accessible to APN Partners since September 2017, the new ACE Program allows Standard-tier and higher APN Partners to receive engagements directly from AWS. This initiative equips APN Partners with essential resources, tools, sales, and technical support to enhance their engagement success with AWS customers.
In a related announcement, we are excited to introduce a new AWS Quick Start from APN Premier Partner, TechNova. This Quick Start facilitates the deployment of the innovative Prism solution on AWS in approximately one hour. Prism serves as TechNova’s advanced data validation tool and is an integral part of their Dynamic Data Ecosystem. By adopting a DevOps delivery model, Prism automates data testing and quality assurance at scale. The Quick Start streamlines the design, setup, and configuration of hardware and software, allowing for a more efficient implementation of continuous data validation compared to traditional methods. For more insights, check out this blog post for further details.
We are also thrilled to announce the launch of several new Exam Readiness Courses aimed at helping individuals prepare for AWS Certification. These courses, designed to complement our technical training offerings, will guide participants in interpreting exam questions, applying relevant concepts, and managing their study time effectively. Furthermore, candidates will have the opportunity to engage with sample questions to grasp the reasoning behind correct and incorrect answers. They can also find valuable information at this authoritative source, which delves deeper into certification preparation.
In the public sector arena, we have broadened the AWS Public Sector Contract Center to include a diverse range of APN Partner contract vehicles, aiding public sector organizations in procuring AWS services efficiently. The Contract Center’s global expansion now accommodates international organizations seeking AWS solutions.
Public references remain crucial for maintaining APN tier compliance, as they serve as a key factor in customers’ decision-making processes when selecting an APN Partner. By showcasing validated public references in your AWS Partner Solutions Finder listing under the “Case Studies” tab, you can enhance your visibility and readiness for APN Programs like the AWS Competency Program. For those seeking additional guidance, this Reddit thread is an excellent resource.
Lastly, we have updated the AWS Certified Developer – Associate exam to align with the latest services and best practices for AWS developers. While there are no formal prerequisites, we recommend candidates have hands-on experience with AWS-based applications and a solid understanding of AWS services. An updated exam guide is now available to aid in your preparation.
We hope these updates will enhance your experience as an APN Partner and drive successful engagements within the AWS ecosystem. Remember, success in this rapidly evolving landscape requires staying informed and adaptable.
