Drafting Your Fantasy Partner Team to Win

Just like players in a game, partners play a key role in the success of our day-to-day business. Fortunately for us, we’ve been lucky enough to draft some of the “top players” in the field to create our ultimate fantasy partner team – and one that is continuously growing!?

This week, we’re focusing in on some of the successful partnerships we’ve developed over the years and how collaboration is key when it comes to bringing home the big win.???

Drafting Your Ultimate Team

Drafting your annual fantasy football team takes effort. You spend days or even weeks following the top players and researching history and stats, all to determine the perfect lineup to assist you in championing this year’s league.?

Much like your fantasy draft, selecting the right partners can lead you towards success and help you achieve your goals. Take the AWS and NFL partnership for example, which took the NFL’s advanced stats to the next level by delivering deeper data insights and producing the 2020 NFL Draft remotely during the global pandemic.
