Follow these steps to join the Avid Alliance Partner Program:
Explore toolkits
Avid offers a large and growing collection of Toolkits to help developers build solutions for media production and connect them to the Avid MediaCentral Platform. These Toolkits are available for free evaluation through the Avid Connectivity Program. Strategic Alliance Partners are offered access to a set of exclusive Toolkits that open the door to further differentiation.
Avid have been with us every step of the way, designing a one-stop shop for all of their Toolkits that makes it easy for NUGEN to have the latest of everything and to discover new opportunities to connect. The whole idea shows Avid’s commitment to its partners and huge promise for continued growth.

The Connectivity Program has given us unprecedented product and user insights across audio post, music and video. Registering as an Alliance Partner is easy and the Avid Team are responsive, supportive and fun to work with. Together we are creating a true win-win!

Become an Avid certified developer
Alliance Partners are required to become certified in the use of the Toolkits used to create their solutions and connect them to the Avid MediaCentral Platform. The Avid Certified Developer designation allows professionals to demonstrate their expertise with Avid Toolkits and to market their services to others who seek development assistance.
As a certified Toolkit Developer for Avid MediaCentral and an Avid Alliance Partner, we always look forward to showing our differentiated products, celebrating the success of mutual clients and deepening our relationships at Avid Connect and throughout the year.

Submit product for certification
Alliance Partners are invited to present solutions that are candidates for certification. We ask Alliance Partners to share data with us about their functionality and the nature of their connectivity to the Avid MediaCentral Platform. Avid then works to determine the level and scope of testing required. Successfully certified solutions are cleared for onboarding.
It’s clear and easy to get all the information about our products submitted in a structured manner. The Marketplace system allows for a great degree of information to be uploaded quickly and to for us to highlight issues, features and benefits.

Co-promote and sell
Working closely with our Alliance Partners, Avid deploys a full range of co-marketing services to convey the power and uniqueness of each certified solution to our growing customer base. Through a powerful online marketplace and a global sales network operating in more than 140 countries, Avid provides a single point of purchase offering front line support and the peace of mind that comes from solution certification and proven reliability of operation on the Avid MediaCentral Platform.
Collaborating with Avid through the Alliance Partner Program has been an extremely positive experience for us at x.news. It has allowed us to achieve a unique technical integration with MediaCentral, and has given us access to Avid's global sales teams, opening up many new opportunities for us. The annual ACA event alone has given us a worldwide exposure we would have found it hard to achieve otherwise.
