Say Hello to 78 New AWS Competency, Service Delivery, Service Ready, and MSP Partners Added in April

The AWS Partner Network (APN) is the global community of partners who leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build solutions and services for customers.

We enable AWS Partners to build, market, and sell their AWS offerings, and we help customers identify AWS Partners uniquely positioned to help businesses accelerate their digital transformation journey.

There are tens of thousands of AWS Partners across the globe. More than 90% of Fortune 100 companies and the majority of Fortune 500 companies utilize AWS Partner solutions and services.

To receive APN program designations such as AWS Competency, AWS Service Delivery, AWS Service Ready, and AWS Managed Service Provider (MSP), organizations must undergo rigorous technical validation and assessment of their AWS solutions and practices.
