• Vendor-Agnostic Onboarding Framework Now Available

  We’ve launched a vendor-agnostic framework that enables business teams to request new vendor onboarding into the DSOR (Designated seller of Records) process—without requiring engineering involvement. This scalable solution enhances time-to-market and global reach.
  How onboarding works:

  • Business users initiate a request through email using a special template.

  • Prerequisites: The vendor must be fully enabled in X4V, GPE, and Impulse; legal agreements with AWS and the vendor must be finalized.

  • Once validated, the Hyperscaler Engine (HSE) triggers automated product ingestion from AWS Marketplace and the vendor is activated in X4V.

This approach allows faster, standardized expansion of Hyperscaler vendor integrations with minimal manual effort.For more details, AWS provides additional documentation that offers a deeper overview of what DSOR entails—see the DSOR First Call Presentation (PDF) for reference.

• Custom Payment Schedules for Hyperscaler Quotes & AWS Resale Authorizations
  DSOR now supports flexible billing arrangements through custom payment schedules. Here's how it works:

  • While creating a DSOR quote, associates can choose "Custom Billing Frequency" in CRM.

  • They can then define multiple payment milestones by entering specific billing dates and custom amounts in each cycle.

  • This schedule is embedded into the quote and automatically passed to the AWS Resale Authorization (RA), which is created with the “Flexible Payment Schedule” discount type.

This enhancement enables better alignment with customer payment needs while improving billing accuracy and automation across systems.
