Eseye is an APN Advanced Technology Partner with the AWS IoT Competency.

If you’re an AWS customer and have worked with an APN Partner, reviewing your engagements provides AWS with key insights we use to monitor and improve the quality of APN Programs. AWS customers are encouraged to leave reviews on APN Partner engagements that have been launched for more than two (2) weeks. This gives your organization some time to adjust to the new solution or workload delivered by the APN Partner, resulting in a more detailed, thorough review.

We have expanded and updated our APN Partner Learning Paths to make it easier for you to find the right training for your role.
