When you want to focus on specific elements, for a limited time, these packages are a great fit.
Microsoft Partnership complexity
​
Many Microsoft Partners struggle in maximizing the partner relationship. There are many programs, systems, processes and incentives and finding your way in them - you often stand alone.
With our support we can help you guide, or manage it for you, through the Microsoft Partner ecosystem. Ranging from AppSource, system x and system Y. Covering programs like DPOR, PAL & CPOR for OSU/OSA. Or helping you to understand and speak the right Microsoft dialect and connecting you with the right department or person to get you the visibility and incentives you deserve!
Choose your success path
Delegate
Managing the Microsoft relationship is often ​
delegated to a management colleague that has this responsibility on-top of their day-job. ​
​
As you can imagine the attention, and required time investment, isn’t up to what it should be to do the Microsoft Partnership right.​
Hire
You can also hire a dedicated specialist to manage the Microsoft Partnership. ​
​
Having 1 specialist dedicatedly to Microsoft alone can ensure enough time is invested. But it comes with ​
A significant investment + it is still a one-man-band, while the Microsoft Ecosystem is very brought and deep.​
Instant Expertise
Or you can rent & inject instant broad & deep​
knowledge about the full Microsoft Partnership ecosystem with scalable capacity when needed.​
