Autodesk ISV Partner Program

Build, Bundle & Integrate with Autodesk

The ISV (Independent Software Vendor) program supports a better understanding for the special partnerships Autodesk offers 3rd Party Software Developers who have built customized solutions that work with Autodesk software. Autodesk offers three types of ISV Partnerships:

  1. Build—Autodesk offers developer versions of our popular design software for you to customize into your own solution. Because you're basing your application on proven technology that offers Autodesk RealDWG, you're free to focus on optimizing your application with industry-standard components. The possibilities are virtually limitless. Many developers have already used AutoCAD OEM and Autodesk RealDWG to develop leading solutions.

    Partners may also use other Autodesk products such as Architectural Desktop and Inventor under a special "contract limited" agreement.

  2. Bundle—Take your Autodesk® based software application and combine it with our software to form a complete bundled solution for your customer. This is a terrific opportunity for companies offering industry-focused products that work with an Autodesk® solution.

  3. Integrate—For businesses that specialize in customizing Autodesk solutions.  Companies are investing time and resources into Autodesk solutions.  Many of them are looking for assistance in integrating our technology into their current environment.
