Co-sell with AWS

Are you an AWS Partner? Log into AWS Partner Central »

The AWS ISV Accelerate Program is a co-sell program for organizations that provide software solutions that run on or integrate with AWS. The program helps you drive new business and accelerate sales cycles by connecting participating independent software vendors (ISVs) with the AWS Sales organization.

The AWS ISV Accelerate Program provides you with co-sell support and benefits to connect with AWS field sellers globally, who service millions of active AWS customers. Co-selling provides better customer outcomes and assures mutual commitment from AWS and AWS partners.

Incentives for AWS Sales teams

AWS Account Managers supporting AWS ISV Accelerate Partners are eligible to receive a cash incentive once the opportunity is “successfully closed."

If an AWS Account Manager introduces net new customers to the AWS Partner, they are eligible for additional incentives.

Drive visibility with AWS Sales

Your solutions will be included in an AWS Account Manager facing solution library with links to your solution collateral (e.g. sales and solution briefs).

You are eligible to participate in activities that help you drive awareness with the AWS Sales teams.

Focused co-sell support and resources

You will gain prioritized access to the AWS co-sell support team, which is aligned with AWS Account Managers working closely with AWS customers to drive adoption of ISV solutions.

You will have access to webinars that provide guidance on how to successfully work with the AWS Sales organization.

Reduced fees

You are eligible for reduced listing fees for AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from ISVs that make it easy for customers to find, buy, deploy, and manage software that run on AWS.

Also, take advantage of reduced fees for AWS Data Exchange that makes it easy to find, subscribe to, and use third-party data in the cloud.
