This is the fourth blog in a series on the evolution of the Microsoft Partner Network into the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program. Additional entries introduce the changes and explore the new solutions partner designations for Business Applications and Modern Work on the Microsoft Partner Blog.
In preparation for the upcoming launch of the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program, we are continuing to examine how partners can differentiate themselves through the new solutions partner designations. In this blog, we will focus on the Azure-related solutions partner designations:
As with all solutions partner designations, these are designed to align with the existing partner solution areas to provide a more seamless experience for customers. By streamlining the existing gold and silver competencies, customers will be easily able to identify partners who have the Azure-related skills that they are looking for. The new designations and specializations will continue to provide exclusive benefits that support partners as you grow.
October 3 marks the official changeover into the new partner structure, and the information contained in this blog will help you prepare for an easy and effective transition.
