Software firm TD Synnex (NYSE:SNX) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services announced on Wednesday that the pair have signed a strategic collaboration aimed at boosting artificial intelligence services aimed at small businesses.
The deal will give small and medium-sized businesses and mid-market companies with an “enhanced” range of AWS services via TD Synnex, primarily in the cloud and AI, the companies said in a statement. The deal will also simplify the access of small and medium-sized firms to get access to AWS Marketplace for ISVs, the companies added.
The areas of focus are across North America, Latin America and the Caribbean.
“Our collaboration with TD SYNNEX brings together AWS innovation and their extensive Partner network, creating new opportunities for businesses across the Americas on their cloud and AI journeys,” said AWS executive Brian Bohan in a statement. “We’re focused on connecting more Partners with AWS services so customers can achieve faster modernization and the business outcomes that matter most to them.”
“Through our strategic collaboration agreements with AWS, TD SYNNEX is uniquely positioned to help Partners overcome these challenges through service-led expertise and support,” Reyna Thompson, President of North America at TD SYNNEX, added. “We look forward to expanding our existing enablement initiatives – including Destination AI, Cloud Labs and Practice Builder – to empower Partners in the Americas to leverage AWS offerings that accelerate digital transformation and unlock innovative capabilities for their customers.”
