The Esri Advantage Program for Partners offers organizations in the Esri Partner Network strategic collaboration through technical visioning, technology alignment and operational support with the ArcGIS system. This program is available globally and requires an annual subscription.

Partners typically start in either the Startup, Build or Bronze program, based on eligibility and business model. To apply for additional programs, Esri Partner Resource Center approval is required, upon which a sponsor code will be provided. 

For these programs, the application process consists of three steps:

1. Submit qualifying questions and make program selection.
2. Log in with an Esri ArcGIS account.
3. Complete application details.

Be prepared to provide company and contact information, business and offering, partnership vision and mapping experience within the application. When applying, consider how your offering is going to drive the adoption of the ArcGIS technology. Responses may be saved and completed in another session before submitting the form. Be sure you have an actively monitored email address to use in the application for status updates. If you experience issues, contact the Partner Resource Center. 

Get started by going to the Esri Partner Programs application and completing the initial qualification questions. Select the Esri Partner Network program emblem you're applying for and proceed to log in with Esri credentials. If you don't have an ArcGIS account, you can create one for free. Once signed in, complete the application. 

Please send your inquires to info@esribangladesh.com.bd.

Esri is committed to reviewing and responding to applications within 30 days. Applications are carefully reviewed to ensure mutual success. If your company is located outside the US, Esri's global distributor network will also review and support the partner application.

For an Esri Partner Network (EPN) member to directly sell ArcGIS products in Bangladesh, they must have an approved Sales Authorization from Esri that ensures the partner is qualified and authorized to represent and sell Esri's products and solutions in the designated region.  

Obtaining the necessary Sales Authorization demonstrates compliance with Esri's partner program requirements and helps maintain the quality and consistency of Esri's offerings in different markets.
