iTMethods is excited to join this select group of cloud service providers, delivering proactive monitoring, automation, and management services. We are ready to use our expertise to help you migrate, automate, and manage your infrastructures on the AWS cloud.

MSP designation follows a rigorous third-party audit

To become an MSP, Consulting Partners must go through a stringent auditing process to demonstrate their AWS managed services capabilities. Requirements include proven customer success, a commitment to innovation, and demonstrated basic and advanced AWS competencies. They must also validate their policies and procedures to monitor, secure, and manage customers’ infrastructures on the AWS cloud.

Partners will be re-audited every 12 months to ensure consistency.

The AWS MSP Partner Validation Checklist, based on insights from real customers about what they’re looking for in an AWS MSP, encompasses best practices surrounding:

Design
Migration
Automation
Security
Management

The audit – completed by an independent third party – is consultative, giving partners constructive advice they can act on. AWS also encourages partners to share their audit results openly and actively with customers.
