We recognized AWS as a strategic ally early on in this shift.”</p> <p>With a hybrid cloud strategy, IBM clients can implement on-premises and cloud technologies to suit their business needs. With IBM Consulting’s expertise, clients can scale those solutions across their enterprises. “Our clients want to make sure that we have the depth and breadth of skills necessary to facilitate their hybrid cloud journeys, and oftentimes that means also having to help them navigate multicloud environments,” says Elmashni. “Obtaining industry-recognized AWS Certifications is the most straightforward way to validate our capabilities on a global scale.”<br> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lb-mid-small-pad lb-none-v-margin lb-grid" style="background-color:#f2f3f3;"> <div class="lb-row lb-row-max-large lb-snap"> <div class="lb-col lb-tiny-24 lb-mid-24"> <div class="lb-mid-v-margin lb-grid lb-row lb-row-max-large lb-snap"> <div class="lb-col lb-tiny-24 lb-mid-3"> <div class="lb-transition-wrapper lb-transition-peek-right-mid-fade-in" data-lb-comp="transition-wrapper"> <figure class="lb-tiny-iblock lb-small-iblock lb-small-show lb-mid-show lb-large-show lb-xlarge-show lb-img"> <div style="padding-left:20px;"> <img src="https://d1.awsstatic.com/case-studies/CustomerReferences_QuoteMark.16fc612d9e480eaec3e716161a76c4a71428c86a.png" alt="kr_quotemark" title="kr_quotemark" class="cq-dd-image"> </div> </figure> </div> </div> <div class="lb-col lb-tiny-24 lb-mid-21"> <div class="lb-transition-wrapper lb-transition-peek-right-mid-fade-in" data-lb-comp="transition-wrapper"> <div class="lb-txt-bold lb-txt-18 lb-rtxt"> <p>We have organically enhanced our entire team’s AWS expertise.

To help participants earn an AWS Certification, the company hosts certification accelerators. “These are 6–8-week programs that provide an intense deep dive to help employees pass their AWS Certification exams,” says David Whirlow, data and technology transformation talent leader for IBM Consulting. “Our employees can review and ask questions to AWS subject matter experts who are familiar with the content.”</p> <p>IBM Consulting has systematically introduced the program to its technical community, including the teams that deliver client services and develop new offerings. It has also encouraged account influencers, lead client partners, and other line-of-business employees to earn an AWS Certification. “If you don’t have fundamental cloud knowledge, it’s hard to consult effectively,” says Whirlow. “We want our consultants to have a deep understanding of cloud technology and speak our clients’ language. We examine our customers’ business needs and identify the necessary Foundational, Associate-level, and Professional-level certifications.” Line-of-business employees can take several courses to grow their cloud expertise, including <a href="/partners/training/accreditation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AWS Partner: Sales Accreditation (Business)</a>, which teaches best practices for coselling with AWS, including a framework, tools, and funding benefits.<br> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lb-mid-small-pad lb-grid" style="padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px;"> <div class="lb-row lb-row-max-large lb-snap"> <div class="lb-col lb-tiny-24 lb-mid-24"> <div id="Outcome"></div> <div class="lb-txt-24 lb-none-v-margin lb-rtxt"> <p><b>Outcome </b>|<b> Earning Over 22,000 Active AWS Certifications and Counting<br> </b></p> </div> <div class="lb-none-v-margin lb-grid lb-row lb-row-max-large lb-snap"> <div class="lb-col lb-tiny-24 lb-mid-24"> <div class="lb-rtxt"> <p>To date, IBM Consulting employees have earned over 22,000 AWS Certifications, including <a href="/certification/certified-cloud-practitioner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner</a>, which validates a foundational understanding of AWS Cloud concepts, services, and terminology, and <a href="/certification/certified-solutions-architect-associate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate</a>, which showcases knowledge and skills in AWS technology across a wide range of AWS services. In 17 months, IBM Consulting increased active AWS Certifications by 100 percent.</p> <p>“Everyone, from our partners to our technical architects, has worked with these programs to become certified,” says Elmashni. “This adds credibility in our conversations, in our solutions, and in guiding our clients through their journeys.”</p> <p>To align with its clients’ growing emphasis on cloud security, machine learning (ML), and data analytics, IBM Consulting also encouraged employees to earn certifications such as <a href="/certification/certified-security-specialty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AWS Certified Security - Specialty</a>, which affirms expertise in creating security solutions on AWS; <a href="/certification/certified-machine-learning-specialty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AWS Certified Machine Learning - Specialty</a>, which validates proficiency in building and deploying ML models on AWS; and AWS Certified Data Analytics - Specialty, which demonstrates knowledge of AWS data lakes and analytics services.</p> <p>In 2022 alone, almost 9,000 employees were certified. “Now, our people speak the same language,” says Carroll. “They understand how AWS works, and they know the basic services. They can speak to clients about the opportunities to modernize on the cloud.”</p> <p>After associate partner Bridget Deary earned her AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification, her team streamlined a government agency’s benefits automation system, which hosts sensitive data and regulated workloads on AWS. “We reduced the time it took to provide benefits from months to minutes and supported 24-7 service availability,” says Deary. “By taking this training, I deepened my understanding of AWS, so I could engage in much more meaningful conversations, both internally and with our client.”</p> <p>Since 2020, IBM Consulting has accelerated its acquisition investments—bolstering its artificial intelligence and hybrid cloud capabilities and adding new skilled experts. “These new IBMers can take advantage of the training programs, continue their career growth and aspirations, and hone their AWS offerings to better serve our clients,” says Elmashni.</p> <p>By providing opportunities for employees to validate their AWS knowledge, IBM Consulting has created a flywheel of professional development. It will continue to work with AWS Training and Certification to drive future growth. “It’s really led to a number of improvements across everything that we provide to our clients. We have organically enhanced our entire team’s AWS expertise,” says Elmashni. “In turn, we can better support our clients’ digital transformations.”<br> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lb-mid-small-pad lb-none-v-margin lb-grid" style="padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px;"> <div class="lb-row lb-row-max-large lb-snap"> <div class="lb-col lb-tiny-24 lb-mid-24"> <h2 id="About_IBM_Consulting" class="lb-txt-none lb-none-v-margin lb-h2 lb-title"> About IBM Consulting</h2> <div class="lb-grid lb-row lb-row-max-large lb-snap" style="margin-top:0px;"> <div class="lb-col lb-tiny-24 lb-mid-24"> <div class="lb-rtxt"> <p>IBM Consulting is the professional services and consulting division of multinational technology corporation IBM.
