Are you an APN Partner that has created an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) solution to help customers leverage AWS for IoT? Does your organization specialize in offering services to enterprise clients looking to develop IoT applications on AWS?
The potential for APN Partners in the IoT arena is vast. IDC forecasts that the global Internet of Things market will expand from $692.6 billion in 2015 to $1.46 trillion by 2020, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1%. The number of IoT endpoints is expected to surge from 12.1 billion in 2015 to over 30 billion in 2020. We are witnessing an increasing number of clients worldwide seeking to create groundbreaking IoT applications on AWS. Our aim is to assist you in connecting with customers whose business objectives you can fulfill.
The AWS Competency Program is designed to help customers identify the right APN Partners to address their specific business requirements. I’m pleased to announce the introduction of the AWS IoT Competency, one of two new AWS Competencies unveiled at the AWS Global Partner Summit during re:Invent.
Introducing the AWS IoT Competency
The AWS IoT Competency highlights industry-leading AWS Consulting and Technology Partners that offer proven technology and implementation capabilities across various use cases, including but not limited to intelligent factories, smart cities, energy, automotive, transportation, and healthcare.
To become an AWS IoT Competency Partner, organizations must fulfill several criteria, including providing use case-specific public customer references and passing a third-party audit of their IoT solution or practice. We have established stringent standards for IoT Competency Partners to ensure customers can easily identify and engage with AWS IoT Partners who have demonstrated the maturity of their IoT solutions on AWS.
