Research Insights Paper: Understanding the Value of AWS Training to Organizations 13 © 2023 TechTarget, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Figure 8.

Innovation Associated with AWS Use Increases with AWS Training Organizations with staff that take more AWS Training are also more likely to report that AWS services help them better support their customers and increase revenue resulting from innovation. Going a step further, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) sought to understand quantitative differences in innovation outcomes among organizations. ESG asked all respondents to consider their portfolio of customer-facing products and services and estimate how many of those products were launched in the last two years as a result of AWS use. Those with teams that have typically taken more than a week of AWS Training (inclusive of any modality) in the past 24 months report an average addition of 7.2 offerings, while those with teams that have typically taken two or fewer days of AWS coursework reported 4.9 offerings on average (see Figure 9 ). Said another way, organizations that have consumed more AWS Training were able to launch more than 2 additional products/services (47% more) from their use of AWS Cloud services, on average. In essence, both these results show that AWS Training appears to amplify the benefits gained from using AWS services. Figure 9.

By how much would you estimate AWS lowers costs for the average project (compared to if your organization supported the project on-premises)?
