Microsoft AIM Program Overview
What is AIM?
AIM (Accelerate, Innovate, Move) is a Microsoft program designed to help businesses transition from their on-premises solutions to Dynamics 365 with confidence. The first step is typically an AIM Assessment, which provides end customers with a clear understanding of their cloud migration path, including cost and timing. Microsoft has provided several proven tools and methodologies to enable structured and efficient migrations, while also certifying AIM Modernization Centers, such as Ciellos, to support partners of record throughout the process.
​
Why did Microsoft create the AIM program?
Microsoft created the AIM program to help end customers migrate to the cloud quickly and efficiently, so they can take full advantage of Microsoft’s market-leading cloud offerings, including the rapidly expanding AI-powered capabilities called Copilot.
​
Why should you leverage the AIM migration program?
Microsoft Partners can gain access to valuable cloud migration tools, support and expertise from Microsoft by leveraging the AIM program. This translates into compelling recommendations for your end customers while helping you build and extend your migration capabilities.
​
What is an AIM Modernization Center and why should you work with Ciellos?
AIM Modernization Centers, such as Ciellos, are Microsoft-certified cloud migration experts with a track record of success. Microsoft recognizes that many System Integrators (SIs) are still building their own migration expertise and would benefit from greater access to hands-on support and coaching. Ciellos will stand behind the partner of record (POR) to provide a range of migration services, including AIM Assessments, while ensuring the POR is always in control of the end customer relationship.
