Why did we make changes to our Partner Program in 2023?

Acquia relaunches its Partner Program every 2-3 years. We did this in 2015, 2018, 2021 and again in 2023. 

Over the years, Acquia's solution set has expanded creating opportunities for us to engage with different types of partners who are delivering a wider range of complementary services. It's important that our Partner Program evolves to meet the needs of our changing and expanding partner community and that new benefits, support models and enablement programs are made available. 

Additionally, as we offer new ways for partners to validate their skills and capabilities, it's important that our program's advancement criteria shifts to recognize these achievements. For example, when we launched Developer certification in 2014, after a year, it made sense to incorporate certification into our advancement criteria. We launched Practice Certification in 2021. It makes sense to incorporate it into the latest iteration of the Partner Program. 

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about changes to the Partner Program, please submit a Partner Helpdesk ticket and a member of the Partner Leadership Team will reach out.
