Glide Publishing Platform is proud to announce that it has achieved the AWS Media & Entertainment Competency, which recognizes AWS partners that have distinguished themselves in helping customers leverage the cloud to deliver media and entertainment experiences.

Achievement of this designation underscores our belief that optimizing content workflows and improving digital delivery remain at the heart of efforts by the sector to increase audience reach and engagement. At Glide, we are dedicated to delivering the tools and services that media, sport, and publishers need to drive their success. 

The AWS Media & Entertainment Competency recognizes that Glide’s content management system, Glide CMS, and audience engagement platform, Glide Nexa, follow architectural and operational best practices, are being actively used in production environments, and have demonstrated excellence in facilitating customers’ abilities to create and distribute content, reach and engage audiences, and monetize their websites. 

What is the AWS Media & Entertainment Competency?

The Media & Entertainment Competency validates and promotes those AWS Partners who have demonstrated expertise in building software or delivering services designed for the specific needs of media and entertainment workflows, use cases, and workloads, and have delivered proven customer success. 

Serving as official recognition from AWS for meeting a high bar of technical proficiency and customer success criteria, the AWS Specializations program, which includes AWS Competencies, makes it easier for media and entertainment organisations to identify and select validated solutions providers with the right expertise and experience to overcome operational challenges and grow their businesses.
