Microsoft ISV Partner Programme

Get the support you need to build your solution on Microsoft Azure with our ISV Partner Programme

The needs of independent software vendors (ISVs), application builders, and software development companies are very different to the needs of pureplay Microsoft cloud subscription resellers. So we have created a partner programme specifically for you.
Not restricted to either a Direct or Indirect Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) purchase model, our ISV Partner Programme combines technical and commercial support to match your Go-To-Market model.

FAQs

Who is the Microsoft ISV Partner Programme for?

Our Microsoft ISV Partner Programme is for independent software vendors, application builders, and software development companies that want to deliver their solution on Azure.

The programme 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 programme’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 programme includes and where to access each benefit.
