TD SYNNEX has announced the addition of two global Amazon Web Services (AWS) Competencies, making it one of the few AWS Distribution Partners to reach this level of achievement in the AWS Competency program.

Specifically, TD SYNNEX has achieved the AWS Government Competency and AWS Education Competency, as well as important program designations in the AWS Managed Service Provider (MSP) Program, AWS Public Sector Partner (PSP) program and AWS GovCloud (U.S.) Service Delivery program.

In January 2022, TD SYNNEX announced a new strategic collaboration agreement with AWS, which provides investment in resources to help small and medium-sized businesses and public-sector organizations expand their digital business offerings by leveraging an enhanced range of AWS services.

"The business has made amazing progress in these early stages of our new strategic collaboration agreement with AWS," said Sergio Farache, chief strategy officer, TD SYNNEX. "The capabilities we are building in our global AWS business enable us to add value and strength to both services and software partners at any stage in their AWS Partner journey."

TD SYNNEX became one of the first AWS distributors to achieve AWS Cloud Management Tools (CMT) Competency in March 2022, which recognized the TD SYNNEX StreamOne Ion platform for meeting the security and compliance checks and demonstrating advanced AWS management capabilities focused on cost optimization and governance for AWS resellers.

"TD SYNNEX has been a great partner by enabling us to build and scale our AWS practice," said Nic Perez, cloud CTO, ThunderCat Technology. "The partnership we have with TD SYNNEX has enabled the ThunderCat team to focus on our customers' mission objectives with confidence in knowing that they have a high performing and responsive team supporting them."

Achieving the AWS Government Competency and AWS Education Competency differentiates TD SYNNEX as an APN member that has developed and deployed innovative technology and solutions that leverage AWS services in these industries.

Similarly, the AWS GovCloud (U.S.) Service Delivery designation will help services partners working with TD SYNNEX to drive growth with AWS public sector customers globally, especially in the federal space, while the AWS MSP program enables services and software partners to add 24/7 AWS managed services capabilities for their customers.
