Alliance Partner Program

Program Overview

In 2014, Avid launched the Avid MediaCentral Platform to unify workflows and help customers achieve the efficiency and productivity they need. Since then, the world’s leading media professionals and organizations have adopted the platform in staggering numbers. One of the reasons is because of the incredible level of openness and interoperability the platform offers.

Key to this success is the Avid Alliance Partner Program—a special partnership that allows developers to become Avid certified, access various levels of tools, achieve partner product certification, and access the Avid sales network. The program is designed to form the basis of an invaluable, multi-year partnership for the most reputed and mission-critical products required by customers. The Program offers a full and growing range of resources designed to help developers and their organizations connect their media solutions to the Avid MediaCentral Platform. These include the Avid Connectivity Program, Alliance Partner Certifications, and Alliance Partnerships. We invite you to explore our offerings further and to reach out to us at partners@avid.com with your questions and feedback.
