AWS ISV Product Transformation Program

The AWS ISV Product Transformation Program offers a structured, five-step approach designed to help Enterprise B2B Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) navigate their transformation journey. By addressing key concerns and challenges, the program guides ISVs through each phase of their evolution, from the initial Discovery to the ultimate Growth phase.

A pivotal component of this program is the Product Envisioning Workshop. This workshop serves as a business-outcome-focused strategy session aimed at establishing a comprehensive vision for product transformation. It provides ISVs with a strategic roadmap for innovation, modernization, and optimization, empowering them to imagine the future state of their products and business. During this workshop, ISVs are encouraged to adopt a “NextGen” mindset, envisioning the future potential of their offerings. They also develop a product-led growth strategy, which forms the foundation for transforming their business through the product flywheel. This flywheel approach focuses on sustainable growth, enabling continuous product improvement and long-term business success. Ultimately, the Product Envisioning Workshop equips ISVs with the tools and insights to drive innovation and position themselves for future growth in the competitive marketplace.

The Product Envisaging Workshop is a collaborative session (remote or on-site) designed to help software vendors or partners ideate, design, and strategize the development of new products or services that can be built and deployed on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The workshop aims to align business goals with AWS cloud solutions, ensuring that the ISV’s products are optimized for performance, scalability, security, and innovation.
