Services include:

  • Customer Demand Gen: Helps customers generate and accelerate leads through integrated digital marketing.
  • Lifecycle Services: Help partners enable opportunities, depending on their need, as well as the workload targeted and the partner’s level of maturity.
  • Preferential Pricing: Sets partners up to achieve accelerated savings and margins through exclusive promotions, volume discounts and discounted services.
  • Competency Build: Provides certificate rebates to individuals keeping up with program requirements, certifications and technical updates.
  • Elite Partner Treatment: Delivers dedicated resources needed to accelerate practice growth.

The program also allows partners to unlock access to deeper offers and promotions as their Azure practices with Ingram Micro grow.

By providing a reliable methodology, flexible and powerful tools and proven partner expertise, from 2018 to 2019, Azure Accelerate made exponential strides, including a 51 percent increase in total program members, 90 percent increase in end users and average resellers seeing 160 percent growth in revenue.
