DESCRIPTION

Introduction
In addition to serving end customers, Amazon offers a range of services to Business customers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) which provides Amazon's developer customers with access to in-the-cloud infrastructure services based on Amazon's own back-end technology platform. Amazon continues to build out a successful Global Online Display Advertising business across all properties by leveraging Amazon's world-class personalization technologies to build highly relevant ads for our advertising partners and customers. Amazon's evolution from Web site, to e-commerce partner, to development platform is driven by the spirit of innovation and customer obsession that is core to the company's DNA. The world's brightest technology minds come to Amazon to research and develop technology that improves the lives of shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world.

B2B represents an incredible opportunity to address a vast new market segment and customer base and is an area of high investment for Amazon. We are focused on building solutions to enable B2B customers to discover, research, and buy products and services from a vast selection, across multiple devices, marketplaces and regions. In North America our customers include individual professionals, small businesses to large institutions (and everything in between) that buy in either high frequency or in bulk quantities. Our B2B customers have different needs than the traditional Amazon customer and thus we have to reinvent everything from how we display our selection, price our products, and provide the right customer experience.
