Deloitte and AWS have expanded their collaboration to help organizations worldwide migrate to the cloud. Deloitte will invest in AWS Centers of Excellence, hiring over 800 AWS specialists across Sub-Saharan Africa, Spain, and Central Europe, providing cloud consulting, training, innovation labs, and managed services to empower digital transformations. This strategic agreement leverages Deloitte’s industry expertise and AWS’s leading cloud capabilities to overcome adoption barriers.

The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) workshop delivery guide is available in the AWS Prescriptive Guidance library and offers step-by-step guidance for AWS Partners to run their own workshops with customers. It’s the same guidance we provide internally to AWS staff, providing both sales and delivery kits along with prescriptive guidance that is our gold standard for delivering AWS CAF workshops to help customers in their cloud transformation journey.

AWS Partners can achieve profitability by optimizing their offerings and aligning with customer needs. Key recommendations include mapping offerings to customer challenges through workshops, integrating solutions via partner collaboration, tailoring portfolios for segments/industries, leveraging APN programs as entry points, and using tools like the Customer Engagement Incentive. By understanding customer journeys and using AWS resources, partners can drive a $6.40 multiplier in revenue per $1 AWS sold.

Recent updates to the CoE include customer research on generative AI adoption challenges, a usage maturity heatmap by industry, and five new use case deep dives covering telecom, automotive, IDP, contact centers, and financial analysts.

With the ability to automate tasks, enhance productivity, and enable hyper-personalized customer experiences, businesses are seeking specialized expertise to build a successful generative AI strategy. To support this need, we’re excited to announce the AWS Generative AI Competency—an AWS Specialization that helps AWS customers more quickly adopt generative AI solutions and strategically position themselves for the future.
