Who are AWS SMB Competency Partners?

In today’s fast-paced world, small and medium businesses (SMBs) are leveraging the power of the cloud to drive innovation, reach new customers, develop new revenue streams, and increase productivity. That’s why it’s critical to work with experts who understand the unique needs of your business, including region and industry requirements, preferred deployment models, and IT capabilities.

To support this journey, we have AWS Small and Medium Business Competency Partners, who have proven success in delivering offerings across the full spectrum of SMB needs including:

  • Platform solutions: Migration and modernization, security, data storage, disaster recovery, and artificial intelligence/machine learning.
  • SaaS solutions: Accounting, resource management, customer service, and/or relationship management.

To achieve this specialization, AWS SMB Competency Partners must undergo rigorous technical validation and assessment of their AWS SMB solutions and practices, including review of architecture and SMB customer case study details.
