Event details

Get an insider’s view of what truly moves the needle for Microsoft Marketplace and Microsoft Azure IP co‑sell success. Guest speaker Barbara Treviño breaks down the signals Microsoft prioritizes when assessing submission strength—helping software development companies understand what great looks like across architecture, messaging, evidence, and sequencing. You’ll learn why high‑performing software development companies approach readiness differently, and how that difference translates directly into smoother approvals and stronger GTM impact.

We'll also unpack the most common pitfalls that delay or derail Marketplace and Azure IP co‑sell progress, along with practical tips for aligning your solution, documentation, and customer proof with Microsoft’s expectations. You'll see how to turn Marketplace and co-sell into growth accelerators, not administrative hurdles, with guidance informed by Labra’s multi‑hyperscaler experience supporting partners through SCAP‑M. We'll end with live Q&A and recommended next steps for those who want hands‑on help refining or submitting their offer.
