AWS Partner Central now supports dedicated Slack channels for collaboration on co-selling opportunities

Posted on: Nov 1, 2024

AWS Partners can now request dedicated Slack channels through AWS Partner Central to collaborate with AWS sales teams on ACE co-selling opportunities. This feature helps simplify communication, ensuring all members stay updated on deal progression, enabling better collaboration and more efficient deal closure for strategic customer engagements.

Partners can request a Slack channel for an eligible open opportunity in the Collaboration Channels tab within the ACE Pipeline Manager in AWS Partner Central. The AWS sales team will receive notifications for collaboration requests through the AWS Secure Connect Slack application, allowing them to create dedicated Slack channels. Individuals from AWS and Partner opportunity teams, including account managers, solution architects, and success managers, can then engage directly through the channels for associated opportunities. These Slack channels include enhanced security controls to ensure only the designated opportunity team participates, helping to safeguard confidentiality. Each channel is also integrated with AWS Partner Central, delivering real-time updates on deal progress—such as stage changes and next steps—all within Slack. This new feature builds on the Slack Connect capability made available earlier this year.

This feature is available globally to ACE-eligible AWS Partners working on high-value deals, excluding deals related to national security or customers in the Greater China Region.

Log in to AWS Partner Central today to request Slack channels directly through the ACE Pipeline Manager in Partner Central and start collaborating, or ask your AWS sales contacts to create a channel.
