Among the numerous technology updates and roadmap discussions, this week at Microsoft Ignite 2018, Microsoft will be publicly announcing the SharePoint Business Applications program and its Charter Members. Our Charter Members are a select group of Microsoft partners who have committed to helping our customers take advantage of Microsoft 365 technologies to improve their business processes.

 

Most, if not all organizations today have a need to simplify or even automate everyday tasks. Whether it’s a building check-in sheet, room reservation request, or a customer signature form – businesses around the globe are inundated with processes, small and large, that could easily be automated and simplified.

 

Today, Microsoft has over 135 million active Office 365 commercial users – but not every organization is taking advantage of the vast capabilities these technologies can enable.  With the right Microsoft 365 tools combined with the expertise of our Microsoft partners, organizations can take advantage of modern applications to simplify their processes and modernize their business for the future.

 

Initial Charter Members

This week at Ignite, we’re announcing our initial set of charter members. Our partners, both system integrators (SI’s) and independent software vendors (ISVs) – help our customers implement simplified business processes by taking advantage of the great technologies Microsoft 365 has to offer – technologies that include SharePoint, PowerApps, Power BI, Flow, Forms and more.

 

A select group of partners have completed the requirements to be recognized as charter members of the program, along with the designation “Microsoft Preferred”. Microsoft greatly appreciates their partnership. Check out our charter members and their success stories below.

Our partners have expertise in the following areas:

  • Assessment and planning
