AWS re:Invent 2025 - Solution-based Selling Strategies in AWS Marketplace
Overview of AWS Marketplace
AWS Marketplace is a comprehensive catalog of over 30,000 listings across 70+ categories, with over 6,000 sellers globally
It provides benefits like flexible pricing, standardized procurement, and streamlined vendor management for buyers
However, the market is shifting as business buyers increasingly want outcome-focused solutions rather than individual products
The Shift Towards Solution Selling
In the past, technical teams would identify, evaluate, and integrate individual products to create solutions
Today, business buyers want to focus on outcomes and get comprehensive solutions that address their specific needs
This trend is accelerating with the rise of AI, as customers often don't know the specific products they need and instead seek solutions for their desired outcomes
AWS Marketplace's New "Multi-Product Solutions" Feature
AWS Marketplace has introduced a new "Multi-Product Solutions" feature to address this shift
This allows customers to purchase multiple products and services from different providers in a single transaction
Key benefits for partners:
Transformation from selling individual products to complete solutions
Ability to target specific use cases and industries with tailored solutions
Flexibility to customize solutions during the sales cycle
Streamlined procurement by combining the benefits of AWS Marketplace with solution-based selling
Example: Axenture's Data Readiness Engine for Generative AI
Axenture has created a data readiness engine solution on AWS Marketplace
The solution combines four products:
Elastic Cloud for semantic and vector search
Elastic's MCP server for natural language interaction
Axenture Aspire connectors for large-scale data injection
Axenture data-to-knowledge implementation service
This solution helps organizations prepare their data for generative AI production workloads
The Solution Creation and Procurement Process
Partners create solutions on the AWS Marketplace Partner Central website, adding products, use cases, and other details
Customers discover these solutions on the AWS Marketplace website, either through search/filtering or the new "multi-product" filter
Customers request a private offer, and the partner creates a customized "offer set" with flexible pricing and terms for each product
Customers review the offer set, accept it, and can then deploy the various components of the solution
Conclusion and Key Takeaways
AWS Marketplace has seen strong momentum with 70 solutions from 65 launch partners, including ISVs, SIs, and channel partners
This new multi-product solutions feature enables partners to sell the way customers want to buy, offering comprehensive, tailored solutions
Customers can now more easily discover and procure outcome-focused solutions that address their specific needs
The process allows for flexibility, customization, and streamlined procurement during the sales cycle
