The ISV Guide to Hyperscaler Cloud Marketplaces

Fueling the boom in the cloud marketplace is the fact that B2B buyers have over $360 billion USD to spend on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. These multi-year commitments mean that many companies have unused cloud credits they can spend on third-party software through their CSP’s cloud marketplace.

Standing out on hyperscaler marketplaces is no easy feat. Listing is only the first step – you won’t see the real value of the marketplace led growth until you get the attention of marketplace sales teams and are discovered by new prospects and customers. 

Selling on hyperscaler marketplaces begins with building and listing your application on Azure, AWS or Google Cloud Marketplace (also known as GCM or GCP). But once listed, you will need to take additional steps to ensure that you can co-sell, manage metering, make private offers, and navigate complex cloud partner programs. 

With a partner like Invisory, you will be able to accelerate your cloud GTM strategy and move from listing to lasting cloud marketplace success.

Finding the right fit for your go-to-market strategy… 

Start with looking at where your solution is built. Next, look at the marketplace that is most popular among your customers and ICP. 

Accelerating success through co-sell…

After listing your application, becoming transactable, co-selling and learning the robes of each partner program can seem like a ‘dark art’. Making customized private offers at scale, bringing your internal sales team along on the journey and getting your GTM strategy in place can seem daunting without a Cloud GTM Platform and industry experts like those at Invisory. 

 

Maximizing reach and revenue with a multi-cloud approach…

After you have mastered your first marketplace cloud ecosystem, you can begin to look into expanding your success to another marketplace and launching a multi-cloud strategy.
