8/7/2023 0 Comments Reinvent 2021 keynote![]() ![]() To enable customers, we need to be thinking about buyers, not just builders, which is a big shift in the cloud world. We’re more focused than ever on helping clients rotate to the future, and mapping the trajectory needed to support this change. When coupled with profound structural changes following more than a year of turbulence, a business environment ripe for reinvention has emerged. We’re now seeing new supply chains and business models being set up in days not months, thanks to cloud, and new scientific breakthroughs are being realized in months not years. This new business challenge is what Accenture is referring to as “compressed transformation”-same scale of change, but in a fraction of the time. When coupled with profound structural changes after a year of turbulence, a business environment ripe for reinvention has emerged.Īs we continue to emerge from COVID, I expect we will hear and see lots of examples of how customers are accelerating their journey to cloud because of the way they had to innovate and find workarounds over the past 20 months. (I’m also looking forward to his music selections for his keynote.) I’m sure he will have many exciting things to say and announce-things we’ll be talking about for weeks following the event. Adam has a passion for the technology and for the builders that make it all come to life. He was front and center with Accenture in 2015 as we launched the Accenture AWS Business Group. Adam is no stranger to AWS nor re:Invent. ![]() It will be different this year not seeing Andy Jassy on stage, as he passes the clicker to new CEO Adam Selipsky to do a deep dive into the amazing services AWS has developed over the last year. It will be great to see so many friends and colleagues, and to feel the excitement of all the great things AWS is doing. But I’ll be happy to welcome at least some of you in person. Due to travel restrictions and the hybrid option, I expect the crowd to temporarily fall back closer to 2012 levels. This year, the event will be back in Vegas. ![]() Today, we have more than 20,000 certified resources holding over 25,000 AWS certifications, and we are recognized by AWS with more than 20 competencies, with more in the works. From Accenture’s point of view, we had only a handful of AWS certifications and less than 20 attendees at the first re:Invent. The AWS Partner Network has grown to tens of thousands today, making it one of the biggest cloud ecosystems in the world. What a long, strange trip it's beenĪWS revenues 10 years ago were not public and most likely a rounding error in the overall Amazon annual report, but now it’s the most profitable part of the business, with over $45 billion in annual revenue. What a long way we’ve all come-from 6,000 hardcore techies sitting in the hallways on one floor of the Sands Conference Center in Las Vegas learning about a handful of AWS services, to the last pre-COVID conference in 2019, when more than 60,000 of us were running around Las Vegas and now a full Hybrid event to support the massive ecosystem that AWS has become. Here we are-the 10 th AWS re:Invent conference is close at hand. ![]()
