Procurement Innovation and AWS Marketplace

AI, Sustainability, and Manufacturing

In this episode we're discussing the intersection between AI, sustainability, and manufacturing with Elliot Richards, from Everything Electric Australasia, and Lachlan Ralph, Senior Partner Sales Solutions Architect at AWS. Embedding AWS AI services to create intelligent manufacturing processes can enable greater efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction. This also minimises waste and drives sustainability outcomes, ultimately scaling the benefits. Elliot unpacks for us what this looks like today, and we uncover the opportunities for AWS partners to be part of the solution.

Migration, Modernization, and Digital Transformation

In this episode, we’re discussing modernisation and digital transformation with Mara Cajar-Robinson, Global Head of Digital Platforms at Thoughtworks. Migration and modernization with AWS unlocks great potential for our customers to better serve their customers. Mara takes us through her learnings on how to align business and technical objectives with essential tools like shared value frameworks, and understanding what key decisions need to be made early in the journey, to set customers up for growth into the future.

"Cloud lives at the end of a network" - why secure connectivity matters.

Regardless of a customer’s workload, use-case, or stage of their AWS cloud journey, the one thing that remains constant is the need for secure connectivity. In this episode we’re joined by Dave West, President, Cisco APJC, and we unpack the essential role played by security, observability, and connectivity across the entire customer IT environment, from AWS all the way through to end-user access devices. And, how reducing operational complexity from the network up can accelerate migrations, drive security outcomes, and help partners better serve our joint AWS customers.

Procurement Innovation and AWS Marketplace

Procurement is a rapidly evolving business function, and an important enabler of digital transformation. For our AWS Partners to drive meaningful outcomes, it’s essential that they understand and build strategic partnerships with procurement teams to drive long-term, sustainable value for our AWS Customers. In this episode, we’re joined by Anthony Hadfield, AWS Marketplace Procurement Innovation Manager for APJ, and we take a deep dive into why AWS Marketplace can accelerate the procurement journey, and how to get started.

Resilience, High-Availability, and exceeding customer expectations

In this episode we’re discussing resilience with Ramya Sundararajan, from the AWS Health service team. AWS Health is the authoritative source of information about service events and scheduled changes affecting your AWS cloud resources. Resilience of AWS workloads is critical, second only to security, and that means building in resilience right from the start. We’ll dive deep into the considerations needed to achieve the highest levels of resilience, and best practices to get started.
