Other members of the team had to collate and submit evidence for other criteria such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Details of the support package included with our solution. AWS verify that vendors include adequate support<\/li>\n<li>Customer facing documentation<\/li>\n<li>Details about customers already using our specific Digital Workplace solution. Having been proven in the field to joint customers is a key criteria<\/li>\n<li>Public case studies<\/li>\n<li>That our AWS landing pages adhered to AWS standards and contained the level of information AWS expect for customers to have access to<\/li>\n<li>Appropriate marketing materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\">The Common Technical Requirements categories cover:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<li><strong>Support level:<\/strong> We had to have business level support agreements in place with AWS so that our joint customers on AWS are certain they are fully supported.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Documentation:<\/strong> Our documentation is verified to meet AWS\u2019s standards and nomenclature align. Certain types of documentation have to be available to customers and we have to provide AWS architecture teams with internal documentation of our architecture, so that any customer issues are fully understood.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Security &#8211; Identity and Access Management:<\/strong> There is a collection of criteria around access keys and ensuring authentication, plus some requirements to have processes in place to handle security incidents. AWS logins have to be integrated with Single-Sign on, and MFA enforced. Each login must be configured with conditional access to allow access only from the authenticated corporate devices. All corporate devices must have encryption enabled.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Security &#8211; Operating System and Application:<\/strong> AWS requires that hardened configurations are defined for operating systems and containers used to host the solution and certain mechanisms to ensure they are applied. E.g., we use CIS benchmarks and continuously monitor them. Access to production systems must be from secured systems and each session has to be logged and audited periodically.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Security &#8211; IT Operations:<\/strong> Covered IT security operations best practices including logging, monitoring, incident response, and data classification. There were many specifics such as appropriate use of encryption, key handling, certificate management and so on. Some of the proactive monitoring requirements around anomaly detection and automated alerting were easily fulfilled by eG Enterprise itself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tenant Isolation:<\/strong> There are specific criteria associated with tenant segregation and secure access. Independent VPCs must be set up across deployments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AWS API Integration:<\/strong> Beyond verifying our use of the API is correct and standard checks are in place to ensure vendor usage is appropriate &#8211; avoiding unnecessary polling, rate limit measures are in place, throttling prevention and so on.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reliability:<\/strong> Verified solutions are expected to have high availability and reliability akin to AWS\u2019 own standards. A lot of this criteria focuses on having comprehensive monitoring and alerting in place &#8211; so this was a fairly easy one for eG Innovations to meet \ud83d\ude0a. There were also some requirements around automation (using CloudFormation and Terraform) for deployment of the product to ensure consistency for customers by process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performance Efficiency:<\/strong> Requirements to have testing and quantitative KPIs in place such as \u201cthe roundtrip response latency for API methods X, Y, and Z must be less than 200ms as measured by the TargetResponseTime AWS CloudWatch metric\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Operational Excellence:<\/strong> This section was mostly about demonstrating that we use best-practice processes to develop and release eG Enterprise. There were requirements around runbooks, build automation, having formal issue ticketing systems in place and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The criteria in general align with the 6 pillars of the AWS well-architected framework, outlined in <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/blogs\/apn\/the-6-pillars-of-the-aws-well-architected-framework\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 6 Pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework | AWS Partner Network (APN) Blog (amazon.com).<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 20px; line-height: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_What_is_the_process_to_achieve_success_in_the_AWS_Digital_Workplace_Competency\"><\/span><strong>Q: What is the process to achieve success in the AWS Digital Workplace Competency?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> I was impressed by the thoroughness of the process and how many solution architects and engineers were involved. This very much was an engineering rather than marketing process and included code reviews of our product.<\/p>\n<p>A large part of the technical review was security focused, and it made it easier for us having recently been through a successful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/press-releases\/eg-innovations-successfully-completes-soc-2-type-2-audit\">SOC 2 type audit<\/a> as some of the audit covered similar areas.<\/p>\n<p>The process is very much an iterative and collaborative process and at points the AWS engineering team made suggestions as to how we could improve certain processes which we took on board and adopted.<\/p>\n<p>To the best of my recollection, we first completed a rather lengthy Self-Assessment Spreadsheet, prior to submitting the program application. This was done in conjunction with our AWS Partner Manager over several weeks to ensure it contained the level of technical detail required. Once completed, we had to submit an application in APN Partner Central.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after this we had to complete an AWS <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/partners\/foundational-technical-review\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FTR (Foundational Technical Review),<\/a> this is a review process which AWS encourages all SaaS and software vendors across all sectors to undertake. For customers it\u2019s the bare minimum you should require an AWS hosted or compatible product to demonstrate for assurance of best practices by vendors offering products on AWS.<\/p>\n<p>The non-technical elements were also reviewed and finally there was the competency audit, although we were well prepared it is always a little daunting to be the one responsible if anything is missed. Thankfully, all went ok.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the achievement of passing the audit though. The process was very beneficial as the AWS architects, auditors and engineers that we had access to in the process have a wealth of best practice experience. We picked up a few tips to optimize our workflows and process documentation. All our team now have a very good understanding of the support processes and engineering liaison routes with AWS so I am confident that this work benefits customers and the level of service we can offer.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 20px; line-height: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_What_are_the_customer_benefits_from_eG_Enterprise_being_certified_as_an_AWS_Digital_Workspace_Competency_partner\"><\/span><strong>Q: What are the customer benefits from eG Enterprise being certified as an AWS Digital Workspace Competency partner? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>AWS outline many of the benefits to customers if they choose a competency partner, see: <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/products\/end-user-computing\/partner-solutions\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/products\/end-user-computing\/partner-solutions\/.<\/a> In summary AWS describe the program thus:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe AWS Digital Workplace Competency helps customers find highly specialized AWS Partners who offer solutions on AWS that effectively support remote workers and business continuity.<\/p>\n<p>AWS Digital Workplace Competency Partner offerings free your end users from the office, allowing them to work securely on any device, from anywhere, and at any time.
