VALIDATE YOUR ADOBE SERVICE PACKAGES
Pursuing the Accredited solution designation
Now that you’ve crafted an effective services solution to deliver Adobe products, we want to help you boost awareness of your offering with an Adobe Accredited solution designation.
Updated: February 10, 2026
1. Partner submits an application
During the application process, you must log in to the Adobe Developer Distribution portal to submit your solution content and the current assets used to go to market. The application collects all essential solution details, including:
- Problem and solution description
- Business outcomes/results (quantitative)
- Use case and ideal customer profile
Please note that you will have the option to designate which resources should be customer-facing or internal-only for Adobe teams at the time of upload.
Go-to-market assets you will be asked to upload:
-

2. Submit customer deployments
As part of the solution validation application process, Adobe will review your active customer deployments.
- If you already have active deployments that align with the applications included in your solution, you’re all set to proceed.
- If you do not have an active deployment that meets these criteria, you’ll be required to submit additional customer deployment examples for review.
For those who do need to submit additional deployments, please click the “Submit customer deployments” button below to open the form to provide customer names and contacts. From there, the specified customer contact for each submitted customer will receive an automated email survey that includes questions about why the solution was chosen, collaboration details, Adobe solutions utilized, project focus, and overall satisfaction. Please be sure to select a customer contact who is familiar with the project.
3. Adobe evaluates submission
Once you’ve submitted your solution, Adobe will review all assets, including your go-to-market (GTM) strategy, to determine eligibility for the Accredited solution designation.
These assets are considered a "living document," meaning you can continue to update and refine them over time to reflect changes in your solution or marketing approach. This ongoing process ensures your materials remain current and effective for marketing and demand generation activities once your solution becomes accredited.
After Adobe completes the review and supporting materials are approved, you will receive an email notification confirming that your solution has been accepted. Evaluations of potential solutions are reviewed on a case-by-case basis with advancements awarded each month.
4. Partner prepares an account list
5. Approval and ongoing updates
Once Adobe approves your solution, you have the flexibility to publish it immediately or wait until you are ready. You can access the platform at any time to update your solution details, ensuring your information stays current and accurate for maintaining accreditation.
Once you are ready to publish your listing to the Exchange Marketplace and your Partner Directory profile, Adobe will announce the new Accredited solution on the Adobe Partners LinkedIn page, providing visibility to a wider audience.
