ISV Success FAQ: Will Microsoft recognize silver or gold competencies after October 3, 2022?

A: No. September 30, 2022, was the last day for any partner to renew competencies. From October 2022, competencies will no longer be valid, meaning that badges will go away, and competencies will not be promoted by Microsoft. Partners will retain their benefits. Solutions Partner is the new designation and will be creating public awareness for these designations, future developments and the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program overall.
