AWS Pre-Announces the Industrial Software Competency Program
Industrial companies in Process and Discrete Manufacturing leverage highly specialized software to increase product innovation while decreasing production and operational costs in their value chain.
This week, industrial software leaders from Amazon Web Services (AWS) are in Germany showcasing products and services powered by AWS at Hannover Messe 2018—the world’s largest trade show for industrial technology. The event features insights from industrial thought leaders, as well as AWS product announcements in the Industrial IoT and Machine Learning spaces.
Coming Soon! The AWS Industrial Software Competency Program
At Hannover Messe 2018, we pre-announced the launch of the AWS Industrial Software Competency Program for industry-leading AWS Partner Network (APN) Partners. This new AWS Competency will launch later in 2018 and help customers find highly qualified APN Partners to effectively solve their business challenges.
The AWS Industrial Software Competency will highlight top APN Partner solutions for end-to-end toolchain. The program’s three sub-verticals are Product Design (CAD, CAE); Production Design (Production planning, 3D Design for Process Industries, Production Layout); and Production/Operations (Industrial IoT, MES/MOM, Asset Management, Logistics).
To receive the AWS Competency designation, APN Partners must undergo rigorous technical validation related to industry-specific technology, as well as an assessment of the security, performance, and reliability of their AWS solutions. This validation gives customers complete confidence in choosing top APN Partner solutions from the tens of thousands in the AWS Partner Network.
The key value of the AWS Competency Program is to build customer trust by helping organizations choose the top APN Partners based on workload, solution, or industry designation. The AWS Competency Program identifies, validates, and differentiates the top APN Partners that have demonstrated customer success and deep specialization in specific solution areas or segments.
