I had previously posted about AWS Consulting Services Partners and Certifications in July 2022. Its been six months, so I decided to run the numbers again.
This time, there were 945 partners in the data set, up from 882 in July by 62 new organisations or a 7.1% increase.
What was clear is that much of this growth is at the lower levels but we can also see some growth in the larger buckets of certs, with two exceptions.
The 100-200 category saw a drop in the number of partners in this space, but only by 5 organisations. Similarly, the 200-300 space remained stable at 43 organisations, but I know of several businesses that have migrated from the 200+ to 300+ category. so others have moved into this grouping from the lower levels.
| 1+ | 20+ | 50+ | 100+ | 200+ | 300+ | 400+ | 500+ | 1000+ | 2000+ | |
| Dec 2022 | 276 | 262 | 158 | 107 | 43 | 26 | 14 | 25 | 15 | 19 |
| Jul 2022 | 244 | 252 | 148 | 112 | 43 | 25 | 8 | 20 | 12 | 18 |
Is at the 400-500 grouping that an increase of 75% has been seen, from 8 organisations to 14.
Furthermore, raw data shows that there are 9 organisations who would fit in a 5000+ certification grouping – who combined would have 117,317 AWS certifications.
The largest? 36,098 certifications goes to Accenture, followed by 14,740 at IBM, and Deloitte on 14,605. Deloitte would be #2 if they grouped Deloitte Shanghai and Deloitte Tohmatsu together. Similarly, NTT is in the partner data as 5 separate organisations.
