2. Background of certification and future prospects

The two products that have become AWS certified software are now available in the public cloud as well as on-premise, based on customer and market needs. In addition, the sales structure for WAP products has been direct sales only, but from 2022, we will begin offering these products through our sales partners.

This FTR passage is one of the requirements for participation in the AWS joint sales program (AWS ISV Accelerate program). In the future, we would like to increase the number of product delivery channels through the joint sales program and deliver our products to more customers. We also aim to gradually pass FTR for other products available on AWS, such as the "HUE" AC series.
