Benefits of our Microsoft ISV Partner Program
Our partner program for ISVs is designed to support your strategic priorities like improving customer experience and growing recurring revenue, and address challenges like cost clarity and management head on.
Onboard
We’ll take the time to truly understand your business so that we can tailor your introduction to our cloud marketplace, cost optimisation tools, and technical expertise.
Cloud Marketplace
Our cloud marketplace makes it easy for you to provision and manage your subscriptions. It also serves as a self-service platform for your end-customers if your delivery model requires them to purchase Microsoft licences separately.
Subscription Management
Access to a purpose-built platform that gives you an insight into your Microsoft licence usage so you can accurately forecast your Azure spend, reduce waste and optimise costs.
Go To Market
We can help you enroll in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program and publish your application on Microsoft’s Commercial Marketplace. You’ll also get access to Visual Studio licences, GitHub and cheaper Azure production subscriptions.
Training and Certification
We work with certified Microsoft training providers to enable your team to pass Microsoft Exams, from Fundamentals all the way up to Speciality. Build better apps, faster.
Cloud Adoption Support
Our Microsoft-certified engineers are here to support with a range of technical services designed to allow you to focus on your business rather than worrying about the tech behind it.

Use our subscription management and cost optimisation platform to get the most out of your investment in Microsoft technologies.
A barrier to cloud adoption for many businesses is worrying about spiralling costs and not having enough resources to manage subscriptions. As part of our Microsoft ISV program, you get access to a cost management platform to see exactly what you're spending where. It provides you with oversight of opportunities to reduce waste and optimise both your Azure and Microsoft 365 subscriptions.
By partnering with us, you can get a better handle on everything from forecasting Azure costs to understanding if your Microsoft 365 environment is set up for Copilot readiness.

FAQs
Who is the Microsoft ISV Partner Program for?
Our Microsoft ISV Partner Program is for independent software vendors, application builders, and software development companies that want to deliver their solution on Azure.
The program isn’t aligned to either the Microsoft Direct model or Microsoft Indirect Reseller model of purchasing cloud subscriptions. Which model you end up aligning to will be defined by how you deliver your solution to your customers. And, it could be that you use both.
This programme is designed to support the very specific needs of companies like you and combines both technical and commercial support to make sure you succeed.
Why should I move from my current Microsoft provider?
Our program’s key differentiator is that we deliver technical and commercial support in tandem. Many Microsoft Cloud Providers solely focus on the technical development and overlook the commercial support needed to help their ISV partners achieve their goals. While we have a strong team of Microsoft certified techies, we are also able to provide business model and value proposition design workshops, and support navigating Microsoft’s Go-To-Market platforms.
We’ve also been recognised by Microsoft as an Azure Specialist for ISVs for two years running. Supporting ISVs is at the heart of what we do.
What onboarding support will you provide?
Our Microsoft Business Development Manager and Account Executive Team are here to support you from the moment you first onboard and every moment after that.
We’ll get to know exactly what it is that you want to achieve and provide you with a comprehensive overview of what the program includes and where to access each benefit.
