Choosing the right technology partner can make a significant difference when investing in Microsoft solutions. But what does it actually mean when a business describes itself as a Microsoft Solutions Partner?
For organisations looking for a trusted Microsoft Solutions Partner in the UK, the designation can be a useful indicator of technical capability, experience and customer success. We explain more in this article.
What is a Microsoft Solutions Partner?
A Microsoft Solutions Partner is an organisation recognised for demonstrating capabilities and proven success in specific Microsoft solution areas.
Rather than being a simple membership or accreditation, Solutions Partner designations are based on measurable performance across areas including technical skills, customer success and business performance. Microsoft currently has six core Solutions Partner designations covering:
- Data & AI (Azure)
- Digital & App Innovation (Azure)
- Infrastructure (Azure)
- Modern Work
- Security
- Business Applications
Partners must meet Microsoft’s qualification requirements and achieve a minimum partner capability score in their relevant solution area.
Why does a Microsoft Solutions Partner matter?
Working with a recognised Microsoft Solutions Partner can give organisations greater confidence when choosing a technology provider. The designation demonstrates that a partner has the skills and experience to work with Microsoft’s cloud technologies and has delivered successful outcomes for customers.
This can be particularly important when planning projects such as Microsoft 365 migrations, Azure cloud adoption, SharePoint development, cybersecurity, application modernisation or digital transformation.
It’s also worth looking beyond the badge itself. The most effective Microsoft partner is one that can understand your organisation, recommend the right technology and provide support throughout the lifecycle of your solution.
