AWS Support and the AWS Channel Programs team are excited to announce the availability of AWS Enterprise On-Ramp, a new Support plan that’s enabled under the AWS Solution Provider Program and AWS Distribution Program.
Enterprise On-Ramp will enable Solution Providers and Distributors to support customers that are starting their cloud journey and need expert guidance to grow and optimize on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
With Enterprise On-Ramp, we deliver a holistic technical Support model focused on the unique needs of customers that are in the early stage of their cloud journey. The plan focuses on highly mature and scaled case management processes, resource health dashboard APIs, and proactive engagement through a pool of Technical Account Managers (TAMs).
Enrollment into AWS Enterprise On-Ramp is available starting November 24, 2021.
AWS Solution Providers and Distributors who resell Enterprise On-Ramp will receive a discount off public pricing. The Solution Provider or Distributor is responsible for resolving billing and account issues, but end customers with Resold Support will use AWS technical support features directly. Partner-led Enterprise On-Ramp is not available.
When utilizing Enterprise On-Ramp, customers are billed based on the aggregate monthly AWS charges for all of the account IDs subscribed to Enterprise On-Ramp.
For additional information around pricing and discounting, visit the AWS Support webpage.
AWS Solution Providers can refer to the Solution Provider Program Terms and Solution Provider Discount Guide available in AWS Partner Central (login required).
AWS Distributors can refer to the Distributor Program Terms and the Distributor Guide available in Partner Central.
