In March 2022, it was announced the Microsoft Partner Network programs would evolve to meet the changing needs of customers and help you, our partners, succeed. Effective October 2022, the Microsoft Partner Network would become the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program. This new program is for all partners in our ecosystem, whether you build and sell services, software solutions, or devices.
The Microsoft Cloud Partner Program is a testament to Microsoft’s continued commitment to innovation and growth. The change simplifies the partner program with single-tier Solutions Partner Designation designed to help you grow your business, go to market, and win new customers. The designations are aligned to six solution areas on the Microsoft Cloud:
By attaining a solutions partner designation, you’ll become eligible to receive the new benefits package associated with that designation. Only partners that obtain all six solutions partner designations will receive a Solutions Partner Designation for Microsoft Cloud demonstrating partner capabilities across the Microsoft Cloud.
There are three categories under each solutions partner designation: Performance, Skilling, and Customer Success. These three categories will generate your Partner Capability Score. A solutions partner designation will only be given once you receive a minimum Partner Capability Score of 70 points (out of 100) across the three categories and at least one point in each category.
Here are the steps you need to take to prepare for the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program.
