Amazon Web Services (AWS) has shared a new set of features that provide comprehensive invoice and PO management for AWS Marketplace purchases. Customers using PO features in AWS Marketplace and the AWS Billing and Cost Management console can receive invoices from AWS that reflect the applicable, customer-defined PO number. This helps streamline payment processing and cost allocation.

In this post, we will guide you through using preconfigured Postman collections to interact with the AWS Marketplace catalog. This is available on the official AWS Partners Postman API Network.

In this post, we highlight the use of CloudSmart Insights to create custom private offer rules, discounts, and messaging with customers. We explore how to create a campaign, determine the offer recipients, and deliver offers at scale. We reference the AWS Marketplace Catalog API, which lets sellers create private offers programmatically from their internal applications without needing to use the AWS Marketplace Management Portal. You can start by creating a draft private offer and iterate until the offer is ready to publish.

In this blog post, we show you how to programmatically integrate your CRM systems with AWS Partner Central to automate and streamline your interactions. Using the AWS Partner Central API, you can create efficient workflows that provide real-time data synchronization, reduce manual effort, and improve collaboration.

This post presents an example of an architectural blueprint that illustrates the deployment and the testing of the Fortinet FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) virtual appliance on Outposts available in AWS Marketplace. The Fortinet NGFW enables inline traffic inspection for data transfers between your on-premises environment and workloads on Outposts. It also provides security services between Outposts instances in different virtual private clouds (VPCs).

In this post, we go over the enhancement to the SPG dashboard. You can use the dashboard to visualize the deployment, grants, and terms of licenses associated with your AWS Marketplace software subscriptions. In some situations, IT or engineering teams may restrict business stakeholders, without required AWS training, from accessing the live production environments through AWS consoles. In these situations, you can view this business intelligence (BI) dashboard in read-only mode and obtain the desired visibility into your AWS Marketplace activity.

In this post we will share real-world examples and success stories from ISVs like Snyk and Guance, who have successfully onboarded their add-ons using this framework. You’ll gain insights into the technical details, best practices, and the benefits of leveraging this automation solution for your own add-on integration with Amazon EKS.

In this post, we explore two approaches to setting up notifications. First, to configure email notifications through AWS User Notifications for product requests, approvals, and declines. Second, to configure Amazon EventBridge rules to receive events and integrate with IT workflows.

In this post, we provide a step-by-step overview of how AWS Marketplace sellers and customers can transact private offers in non-USD currencies.

I recently moderated a webinar exploring AI’s transformative potential in banking. I was joined by Huard Smith, Principal Analyst at Forrester, who examined how data, AI, and innovation are reshaping the industry. This post highlights the key takeaways from the webinar, including the panel discussion.
