Today, AWS Partner Central announces the preview of Partner Connections, a new feature allowing AWS Partners to discover and connect with other Partners for collaboration on shared customer opportunities. With Partner Connections, Partners can co-sell joint solutions, accelerate deal progression, and expand their reach by teaming with other AWS Partners.

At the core of Partner Connections are two key capabilities: connections discovery and multi-partner opportunities. The connections discovery feature uses AI-powered recommendations to streamline Partner matchmaking, making it easier for Partners to find suitable collaborators and add them to their network. With multi-partner opportunities, Partners can work together seamlessly to create and manage joint customer opportunities in APN Customer Engagements (ACE). This integrated approach allows Partners to work seamlessly with AWS and other Partners on shared opportunities, reducing the operational overhead of managing multi-partner opportunities.

Partners can also create, update, and share multi-partner opportunities using the Partner Central API for Selling . This allows Partners to collaborate with other Partners and AWS on joint sales opportunities from their own customer relationship management (CRM) system.

Partner Connections (Preview) is available to all eligible AWS Partners who have signed the ACE Terms and Conditions and have linked their AWS account to their Partner Central account . To get started, log in to AWS Partner Central and review the ACE user guide for more information. To see how Partner Connections works, read the blog .

Partners that sell or resell products in AWS Marketplace can now offer new experiences on their websites that are powered by AWS Marketplace. Customers can more quickly identify solutions from Partners that are available in AWS Marketplace and use their AWS accounts to access a streamlined purchasing experience.

Customers browsing on Partner websites can explore products that are “Available in AWS Marketplace” and request demos, access free trials, and request custom pricing. Customers can conveniently and securely make purchases by clicking the Buy with AWS button and completing transactions by logging in to their AWS accounts. All purchases made through Buy with AWS are transacted and managed within AWS Marketplace, allowing customers to take advantage of benefits such as consolidated AWS billing, centralized subscriptions management, and access to cost optimization tools.

By adding Buy with AWS buttons to Partner websites, Partners can give website visitors the ability to subscribe to free trials, make purchases, and access custom pricing using their AWS accounts.

Today, AWS Security Incident Response launches a new AWS Specialization with approved partners from the AWS Partner Network (APN). AWS customers today rely on various 3rd party tools and services to support their internal security incident response capabilities. To better help both customers and partners, AWS introduced AWS Security Incident Response , a new service that helps customers prepare for, respond to, and recover from security events. Alongside approved AWS Partners, AWS Security Incident Response monitors, investigates, and escalates triaged security findings from Amazon GuardDuty and other threat detection tools through AWS Security Hub. Security Incident Response identifies and escalates only high-priority incidents. Partners and customers can also leverage collaboration and communication features to streamline coordinated incident response for faster reaction and recovery. For example, service members can create  a predefined “Incident Response Team” that is automatically alerted whenever a security case is escalated. Alerted members, which includes customers and partners, can then communicate and collaborate in a centralized format, with native feature integrations such as in-console messaging, video conferencing, and quick and secure data transfer. 

Customers can access the service alongside AWS Partners that have been vetted and approved to use Security Incident Response. Learn more and explore AWS Security Incident Response Partners with specialized expertise to help you respond when it matters most.
