AWS PartnerCast Announces ACE Training Series for AWS Partners 

By John Paxton, Sr. Partner Marketing Manager, AWS Training and Certification

AWS-PartnerCast-1AWS Training and Certification is constantly seeking innovative ways to help AWS Partners enhance their cloud skills and confidence.

With increases in remote working conditions over the past few months, our subject matter experts have been developing virtual training materials to help you better understand AWS offerings, best practices, and AWS Partner Network (APN) programs.

In this post, I will highlight the APN Customer Engagements (ACE) program and the upcoming AWS PartnerCast trainings designed to help you enhance your co-selling motions with AWS.

AWS PartnerCast is a free, interactive webinar series for all AWS Partners. Material is designed for individuals in both business and technical roles, providing knowledge about Amazon Web Services (AWS) products and services, best practices, APN programs, and marketing to help you better serve your customers.

What is the APN Customer Engagements Program?

The ACE program provides AWS Partners with a medium to engage with AWS sales representatives, marketing teams, and field marketing assets to enhance your co-selling capabilities with AWS.

Through the ACE program, qualifying AWS Partners are eligible to receive AWS Lead and Opportunity Referrals through the ACE Pipeline Manager in APN Partner Central. The ACE Pipeline Manager provides you with resources, tools, and the sales and technical support to ensure you are supported in driving meaningful engagements with AWS customers.

All AWS Partners can participate in ACE, regardless of where they are in their AWS Partner journey.
