Why Cloud Partnerships?

The transformational power of the cloud is massive for any business as it opens-up global potential and promotes cross-industry impact. The world’s leading cloud providers have invested considerable time, money, and effort to turn their partnership-ecosystems into lucrative sales channels.

And the results speak for themselves: Within just a few short years, cloud partners are closing deals 3 times faster, gaining access to deals up to 6 times larger, and generating billions in revenue for all partners in the chain.

Co-Sell Layers

Co-selling with the cloud is a powerful growth engine, enabling ISVs to reach customers at every scale. Through a multi-layered approach, we maximize impact—from broad marketplace reach to targeted corporate and enterprise sales. Each layer is tailored to align with specific customer needs, making cloud co-selling a strategic, scalable solution that drives substantial business growth across all segments.

Cloud Marketplace as a
Growth Accelerator

The cloud marketplace is now essential for ISV growth, aligning with the industry’s shift toward digital procurement, where $380 billion in cloud commits provide a powerful avenue for payments to be charged directly against pre-allocated customer budgets. As tech sales increasingly move to these platforms, ISVs gain direct access to a vast customer ecosystem, accelerating sales cycles, building credibility, and reaching global audiences, positioning them for success in a rapidly evolving market landscape.
