This competency recognises members of the AWS Partner Network who have demonstrated technical capabilities and success in helping marketers and retail customers by delivering cloud-based marketing and ecommerce solutions running on AWS. Customers can access this expertise and 24/7 operational support through Fanatical Support(r) for AWS architects and engineers, who collectively hold more than 300 AWS professional and associate certifications across the globe.

Many businesses are transforming their mission critical customer facing systems to the cloud for greater speed and increased flexibility. These companies are seeking assistance from experts in architecting, deploying and operating scalable, reliable and redundant workloads on AWS.

"By using Fanatical Support for AWS, we can get applications up and running on AWS much more quickly than without it," said Shadrach Kisten, senior vice president of information technology and digital media engineering at Sesame Workshop.  "With AWS we are able to provide Sesame Street content more efficiently and effectively, helping us to deliver on our mission of helping kids grow smarter, stronger, and kinder."

Some businesses are choosing to leverage productised web content management and ecommerce applications, such as Magento and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). Those businesses are seeking to combine knowledge of the infrastructure and application layers in order to drive maximum efficiency from each deployment. Rackspace digital solutions and digital workload expertise provide answers for customers seeking to solve these challenges. The Rackspace Managed Cloud for AEM on AWS and the company's experience with managing Magento Enterprise deployments on AWS enables customers to build and deploy online stores and websites faster with greater stability and higher performance. Customers have access to 24/7 operational support via Rackspace's team of certified AWS experts, which eases the burden on information technology (IT) staff and eliminates the cost of hiring additional resources.

"We established our Digital practice in 2014 and since that time, we've had a dedicated focus on providing businesses expertise on ecommerce and content management solutions across a range of infrastructure platforms," said Chris Cochran, senior vice president and general manager of AWS at Rackspace.  "We're excited to extend our digital expertise and best practices to AWS customers running their critical marketing and commerce applications in the cloud."
