Key Topics Covered at the VSTECS | AWS Partner Bootcamp 2024
Over the three-day bootcamp, we covered a range of crucial topics aimed at equipping AWS partners with the knowledge they need to succeed in the rapidly evolving cloud space. The event began with a comprehensive overview of the AWS landscape and its sales motion, providing partners with a deeper understanding of how to effectively sell AWS solutions in today’s competitive market. This session helped participants align their sales strategies with the latest trends in the AWS ecosystem and understand the key drivers behind customer adoption of AWS cloud services.
Next, we explored the role of VSTECS as an AWS distributor and how channel management works to support partners in driving sales and expanding their reach. This session emphasized the importance of a well-organized distribution network and provided practical insights on how to navigate the distribution process to ensure a smooth sales cycle.
A major highlight of the bootcamp was a session on interacting with the AWS network. Partners learned how to leverage AWS’s vast network of resources and collaborators to create valuable business connections. This networking session provided opportunities for participants to engage with key AWS stakeholders and build strategic relationships that can help boost their business operations.
We also featured partner success stories and real-world use cases, showcasing examples of how AWS solutions have been successfully implemented across various industries. These success stories not only offered inspiration but also provided tangible examples of how partners can replicate these successes in their own businesses.
One of the more engaging sessions explored AWS’s differentiation in the hyperscaler market. This session highlighted what makes AWS unique in comparison to other cloud providers, focusing on the advantages that AWS offers to customers, and provided partners with strategies to communicate these differentiators effectively to potential clients.
Our bootcamp also covered the Public Sector and Public Sector Partner (PTP) programs available within AWS, explaining how these programs open doors for partners to engage with government and public sector clients. This was followed by a discussion on the commercial sector programs, offering insight into how AWS partners can tailor their approach to meet the unique needs of businesses in the commercial sector.
Partners were also introduced to exclusive VSTECS offerings, campaigns, and upcoming previews, giving them an edge in understanding the upcoming opportunities and initiatives they can leverage to expand their reach in the market. In addition, an important session on AWS Partner Experiential Learning allowed attendees to apply their newfound knowledge in practical scenarios, enhancing their understanding of AWS’s solutions in real-world contexts.
