The Microsoft Partner Success Challenge
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!
Posibilities to do Microsoft Partnership right
Or you can rent & inject instant broad & deep knowledge about the full Microsoft Partnership ecosystem with scalable capacity when needed.
The full team of Ciellos with decades worth of Microsoft experience, including knowing exactly who to talk to and what lever to dial to get results fast.
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.
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.
