What is the AWS Small and Medium Business (SMB) Competency?

According to AWS:

Small and medium businesses represent 98% of businesses across all industries, employ 67% of workers, and generate 45% of global GDP. This Competency was created to address the needs of SMB customers, as they require solutions designed with their unique needs in mind, including consideration for typical deployment models, IT capabilities, financing preferences, and requirements specific to location and industry. 

The SMB Competency differentiates AWS Partner Network (APN) members with extensive record of successfully serving SMB customers and have offerings vetted by AWS to ensure they meet the highest standards. SMB Competency Partners specialize in offerings designed to the needs of small & medium businesses – ensuring they’re always ready to meet the priorities of their end customer.

SMB Customer Success Story

As BENlabs scaled its AI-powered entertainment marketing platform, AWS costs doubled in six months. Managing spend across a growing engineering team and multiple AWS accounts became a challenge—engineers lacked visibility, and manual reporting was no longer sustainable.

nOps gave BENlabs an all-in-one FinOps solution to regain control:

  • Cost Visibility: intuitive dashboards for real-time cost tracking across accounts, services, and teams.
  • Compute Optimization: optimized Auto Scaling Groups with Spot diversification for over 99% workload reliability.
  • Commitment Management: ensured 100% utilization of existing commitments, removing guesswork from discount strategies.

 

The result? 100% visibility, 22% automatic savings, and hours of time saved for engineering and finance — read the full case study here.
