AWS IQ waives fees until June 30, 2020, to help you stand up and scale remote work initiatives

The recent post Working from Home? Here’s How AWS Can Help shared several ways AWS is helping you set up and scale remote work and work-from-home initiatives. Getting these solutions set up is sometimes best—and achieved more quickly—with expert help. You can get the help you need with AWS IQ, which connects you to AWS Certified third-party experts for on-demand project work. To support you with access to this resource, and to support the community of highly skilled consultants who deliver the service, AWS IQ is waiving both the 3% buyer fee and 15% expert fee until June 30, 2020. Effectively immediately, 100% of AWS IQ payments go directly to the IQ experts performing the work.

AWS knows that you are dealing with many changes with work, school, and community environments. Like other AWS IQ customers, you may need help configuring remote desktops for your teams with Amazon WorkSpaces, setting up a contact center in the cloud with Amazon Connect, or adding a chatbot in your call center to handle the rise in call volume. Or, like many businesses out there (such as restaurants, schools, medical services, and independent retailers), you need help to quickly adapt and move online. The experts at AWS IQ offer hands-on assistance remotely for a wide range of projects, such as hosting your website, migrating your database, setting up your network, building your analytics solution, or optimizing your AWS service usage.
