As cloud adoption rapidly evolves around core migration and modernization scenarios—and as AI-powered innovation takes center stage—we’re empowering partners to unlock limitless innovation with Azure Accelerate. 

 

Azure Accelerate is a unified offering within the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. It brings together Azure Migrate and Modernize, Azure Innovate, and Cloud Accelerate Factory and is built on the foundation of Azure Essentials. This single offer equips partners with access to trusted experts, Microsoft investments, and comprehensive resources to reduce financial friction and support successful deployments across key stages—from initial assessment through full implementation. 

 

Key benefits for partners include: 

  • One unified offering that supports all industries and customer segments. 
  • Exclusive incentives for partners with Azure designations and specializations.  
  • Access to Azure Migrate and Dr Migrate* tooling, built to give you more capabilities for migration and modernization planning.  
  • Zero-cost delivery assistance with Cloud Accelerate Factory experts. 

 

Azure Accelerate is open to partners working on customer deals of $5,000/year** Azure Consumed Revenue (ACR) or more. You can nominate through Partner Center or work with your Microsoft account team. Once approved, you’ll receive funding in 45 days or less. 

 

* Eligible partners can register for the August 5 webinar, “Solution and Services Assessments with Dr Migrate” to learn more about how to utilize this key resource. Register for the morning session at 8:00 AM PT/11:00 AM ET or the evening session at 5:00 PM PT/8:00 PM ET.
