The Path to

ISV Success:
Build, Scale, and Grow
Faster with the ISV
Success Program

We’re living through a time of rapid digital acceleration, and there’s

tremendous demand for cloud applications that help customers stay
resilient and competitive.

But the road to successfully building and selling applications and

sustaining business growth can be long and challenging. It can be difficult
for independent software vendors (ISVs) to increase credibility with
customers, keep up with changing B2B purchase expectations, and get
enough reach into the market.

The Microsoft ISV Success Program gives you a clear path to your
goals—with no-cost developer tools and resources, expert guidance, and
additional rewards that can help you quickly adapt, innovate, and capture
this huge opportunity.
