Only Best Practices

Services

Every route to market, one partner.

Most software companies come to us selling direct. First we get you listed and transacting on AWS Marketplace; then we build the partnership path your maturity supports — a partner channel of your own or co-selling with AWS — and the other can follow.

    Sell direct

    Direct

    Where most clients start

    Sell through partners

    External Partnerships

    If you’re still building direct traction

    Sell with AWS

    AWS Partnership

    If your direct pipeline is strong

    Reflect your direct pipeline into ACE to earn AWS priority — then co-sell with AWS sellers through ISV Accelerate, Competencies and MDF.

    Explore this path

Start with the path that fits where you are — the goal is all three running as one go-to-market.

Funds the motions

Cloud savings of up to 43% off on-demand — often enough to offset your listing costs or fund the next motion.

Managed Cloud Optimization

How the motions connect

Three sources of deals. One place they close.

The motions aren’t three separate programs. Deals come from your team, AWS sellers and your partners — and they all transact, get measured and get funded the same way.

  1. Source

    Deals come from three places

    • Your direct sales team — its pipeline reflected into ACE
    • AWS sellers, co-selling once that pipeline earns priority
    • Your partners — referral, reseller and SI
  2. Transact

    They close on AWS Marketplace

    • Private offers for direct and co-sell deals
    • Channel Partner Private Offers for partner deals
  3. Measure

    One revenue view

    • Pipeline by source
    • Offers, agreements and disbursements
    • AWS Partner Revenue Measurement attribution
  4. Fund

    Savings fund the next motion

    • Managed Cloud Optimization cuts cloud spend — often enough to offset your listing costs
