Amazon Web Services (AWS) is planning to reorganize its 60,000-person sales team to address customer dissatisfaction and intensifying competition in the cloud server market. The reorganization aims to increase the share of Fortune 1,000 firms spending over $10M/year on AWS from less than 20% to 80%. The total number of AWS employees, previously a closely guarded secret, is now revealed. The changes are part of AWS' effort to revive its growth amidst slowing cloud revenue.
