Overview
Most education software is sold to IT. The budget increasingly sits elsewhere, with the provosts, chief academic officers, and finance leaders who own the outcome. BOX is the AWS program built for that shift, and we guide partners through it.
The AWS Business Outcomes Xcelerator supports partners building packaged, repeatable solutions that address a specific business outcome for a line-of-business buyer, shifting the focus from IT-centric projects to solutions that affect a customer's top or bottom line. It runs across three to four milestones depending on track, with AWS funding released as you clear each one:
Feasibility Study: validate the opportunity and define the buyer problem worth solving.
Joint Business Plan and MVP: build a working minimum viable product and complete a Foundational Technical Review.
Go-to-Market: launch with an AWS-funded lead generation campaign, with marketing development funds available on top.
Three tracks are available: Standard BOX with up to $140K in funding, AWS AI Competency with up to $290K, and Agentic AI Competency with up to $345K. Funding is stackable with other AWS programs, so BOX can run alongside work you already have underway.
We work alongside you throughout: shaping the solution around a real buyer and a defensible business case, finding and structuring the right partner collaboration, preparing each milestone submission to meet AWS requirements, and making sure the go-to-market lands with the right audience. From your side, the work moves fastest with a named product owner, subject-matter experts who know your target buyer, and timely review of milestone deliverables.
EDT&Partners is the only AWS partner to hold both the Education and AI Services Competencies, with every engagement led by senior practitioners who have worked inside the systems your customers operate in. We know what education buyers respond to, what procurement will actually clear, and how to build a solution that holds up in both conversations.
