AWS Partner Network (APN) Blog

Say Hello to 135 New AWS Competency, Service Delivery, Service Ready, and MSP Partners Added in March

By Rory Wallis, APN Program Experience Manager – AWS Partner Network

The AWS Partner Network (APN) is a global community that leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS) technologies, programs, expertise, and tools to build solutions and provide services for customers.

The APN has more than 130,000 partners from over 200 countries, with 70% headquartered outside of the United States. Together, partners and AWS provide innovative solutions, solve technical challenges, win deals, and deliver greater customer value.

To achieve APN specializations 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.
