This realization, he said, has lead to a “tweaking” of the AWS strategy. Their current objectives include: Making it easier for customers to use AWS services Expanding and supporting the ecosystem Wise highlighted that with Amazon, partners who previously may only have had access to a very narrow portion of the market can now access more and more new customers. The benefit for Amazon, he explained, is the value partners add on top of AWS when it comes to “application modernization, redevelopment, and vertical workloads.” Amazon’s motivation to energize its ecosystem, and the online giant intends to “more than double ecosystem investment,” highlighted Wise, with a “focus on go-to-market” and helping partners grow their business. AWS’ Managed Services Program, a set of tools designed to find the right partner for businesses that require software migration solutions, and Software-as-a-Service offerings are also expanding to facilitate business for ecosystem partners.
