Based on recent Forrester study, 78% of respondents, including ISVs and end customers, disclosed that the lack of a well-defined governance model was putting their companies at risk, according to\u00a0Whit Crump<\/a> (pictured), director of Americas business development, worldwide channels and customer programs, AWS Marketplace, at Amazon Web Services Inc.<\/p>\n

The AWS Marketplace seeks to reduce enterprises\u2019 risk profile and accelerate FinOps through cost optimization and a modern procurement practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re really talking about is helping customers adopt FinOps\u00a0practices,\u201d Crump said. \u201cWhen using Marketplace either directly or through a\u00a0partner, customers are able to really save money through a licensing flexibility.\u00a0They\u2019re also able to streamline their procurement. And then if there\u2019s an at-risk spin situation,\u00a0they\u2019re able to manage that at-risk spend by combining Marketplace and AWS.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crump spoke with theCUBE industry analysts Lisa Martin<\/a> and Dave Vellante<\/a> at Ignite \u201922<\/a>, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media\u2019s livestreaming studio. They discussed how the AWS Marketplace is acting as a game-changer in terms of cost optimization, licensing flexibility, and heightened visibility.(* Disclosure below.)<\/em><\/p>\n

AWS Marketplace slashes contract time by 90%<\/h3>\n

Through the Standard Contract for AWS Marketplace, or SCMP, Crump believes the issue of time-consuming contacts is significantly addressed and the challenge of shelfware is tackled.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe actually built a feature called Standardized Contract, where we talked to a number of customers and ISVs, distilled a contract down into a, largely, set of terms that both sides already agreed to,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it cuts that contract time down\u00a0by 90%. If you can shave 90% off your time, now you can work on a lot of other things for the corporation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since vendor management can be a hassle, the AWS Marketplace incorporated a new feature dubbed Vendor Insights to enhance enterprises\u2019 discoverability journeys. As a result, companies can assess a vendor\u2019s risk profile, according to Crump.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Vendor Insights, a customer\u00a0can actually subscribe to this, and they\u2019re able to actually see the risk profile of that vendor from\u00a0the inside out, from the inside of their SaaS application \u2014 what does it look like on a real-time basis?\u201d he stated.\u00a0\u201cAnd they can go back and look at that whenever they want. The feedback since the launch\u00a0has been fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
