Data and AI Acceleration.
ISV’s have a unique opportunity to quickly adopt the power of AI and enrich their solutions. Our program includes focused strategies that consider where this potential can be incorporated to increase business value.
We will assess AI and Machine Learning opportunities within your dataset, including solution feasibility assessments, high level solution architecture and solution delivery plans. Our team will work hand-in-hand with yours to identify:
- untapped revenue in your datasets
- opportunities to optimise business critical processes
- solutions to accelerate your speed to market.
Business and Technical Expertise.
The ISV Innovation Hub provides partners with front-end support on a value-add basis. Regular briefings, webinars, meet-ups, and education that connects ISVs and SaaS partners with relevant information to support business strategies, industry connections and potential funding sources.
Partners in APAC are further backed with technical expertise and services, via our ISV Managed Services offerings.
ISV services are built on Crayon’s strong foundations as a Top 10 Microsoft Partner, an Azure Expert MSP, an AWS Premier Tier Partner, and a Global Google Partner with Premier Status and over 50 additional certifications.
Cloud Partnerships
Crayon has attained Premier Tier partnership status with the majority of hyperscale cloud providers. Our status levels recognise that Crayon is among the most experienced and recognised vendor partners, globally.
Working with us as a Premier Tier partner helps you move even faster than working with Cloud providers direct. We have deep technical expertise and can complete projects that vendor-side engineers can often only advise on.
As a Premier Tier partner, we also have access to exclusive funding programs, and can help our ISV and SaaS partners navigate where and how to qualify.
