TD Synnex ramps up AWS training for cloud partners

Through the Accelerate programme the distributor is hoping to help partners develop competency and support business growth

TD Synnex has launched its Accelerate programme for AWS cloud partners in the UK and Ireland to develop their competency, demonstrate their relevance and value of AWS solutions to customers, and support business growth.

The programme is structured in three stages - discover, develop, and specialise - which partners can enter at the most appropriate point for their business.

Minimal requirements are needed for the entry-level 'discover' stage tier. Partners can subsequently qualify for the 'develop' and 'specialise' levels through the achievement of business growth, investment, and continued engagement, the UK distributor said.

TD Synnex explained all partners will have access to support on AWS programmes and partner benefits, including sales resources, technical training, and simplified go-to-market support.

In addition, the company provides access to tools and services that enable cloud partners to be more agile and flexible in responding to customer needs, manage customers effectively, and keep costs under firm control.

These include access to the StreamOne Ion cloud orchestration platform and TD Synnex's professional services capabilities.

"With customers of all sizes now migrating workloads to the cloud, there is a real need for partners to have an in-depth understanding of the capabilities of leading hyperscaler solutions," said Rachel Paterson, AWS business unit manager at TD Synnex.

"The TD Synnex AWS Accelerate programme is designed to enable partners identify and address new business opportunities, equip them with the knowledge and skills they need, and provide support for them as they develop and grow their AWS business."

The new launch comes hot on the heels of TD Synnex's expanded partnership with the hyperscaler, extending its range of AWS cloud services to cover public sector businesses.
