Splunk has since become an “all-in” AWS customer and is supported by the AWS Partner Network, Sales, Solution Architects, Professional Services, and Executives.” - Tony Bolander, Manager, Global Strategic Alliances, Splunk

“When we started developing our company, we didn’t consider producing physical media to hold our software, nor did we consider installing it on-premises. By making our model Software as a Service (SaaS), we got a lot of immediate benefits: we were able to allow users to try our product with no more effort than going to a website; we could push features and fixes dozens of times a day; and we could know that everyone would get the same controlled experience. But by taking on the hosting ourselves, we would need to have a significant capital outlay at the start in order to simply deliver our product. Having AWS to begin on without those initial costs made SaaS a viable option for our growing startup.” - Matt Garmur, CTO at CrowdTangle

“We’ve benefitted from the SaaS service architecture review from partner solution architects based on the Well-Architected Framework, and technology advice for making our service even better. As a result, we’ve reduced the time needed to create a new service on AWS by 40 percent.

As an AWS Technology partner, we hope to continuously collaborate on the creation of new SaaS services, utilize the AWS Marketplace to develop global businesses, and cultivate our business partnership where we can create synergy.” - Matthew Kim, CTO, Playauto
