Find an APN Partner Through Our Refreshed Discovery Experience
For AWS Partner Network (APN) Partners at the Select Tier and above, the Find an APN Partner web experience enables AWS customers to easily search for and connect with APN Consulting and Technology Partners based on their business needs.
Customers regularly use this tool to discover APN Partners that can help them design, migrate, manage, and optimize workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
You can leverage the refreshed discovery experience here at partners.amazonaws.com to find APN Partners with AWS-validated qualifications for a variety of use cases.
This new experience is also available in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Spanish.
As a customer, you can search for APN Partners by industry, use case, services, and other offerings.
The revised user experience includes simplified navigation, improved mobile optimization, and new data elements highlighting each APN Partner’s AWS-validated qualifications. It also includes new filtering options and the ability to share partner profiles on social media from within the page.
The experience also allows customers to directly contact partners, who typically respond within 2-3 business days.
How Do I Search for APN Partners?
The Find an APN Partner search bar delivers results based on partner name, APN program designations, solutions, case studies, locations (offices), and other key areas important to customers.
You can further refine searches based on partner type and tier, industry, services, use cases, and by public sector criteria such as socio-economic categories and contract vehicles.
Each APN Partner’s standing in the search results depends on several factors. It’s primarily based on search relevance to user inputted keywords, but other factors that influence standing on the page include APN tier and participation in APN programs like Competency and Public Sector.
Partners must be Select, Advanced, or Premier Tier to have a visible listing on the Find an APN Partner experience.
What’s Included in a Partner’s Profile Listing?
