*To earn a specialization, partners must first attain a Solutions Partner designation.
Solutions Partner Designation Benefits
Becoming a Solutions Partner is the first opportunity for you to set yourself apart from the competition by demonstrating your organization’s breadth of capabilities in solution areas. The top three benefits include:
- Market Differentiation: Set yourself apart by demonstrating your organization’s capabilities aligned to solution areas. Plus, receive a customer-facing badge that clearly differentiates you from the competition.
- New Cloud Technology Benefits: Receive new benefits optimized for emerging cloud technologies as well as tailored quantities of cloud services subscription. Each designation also has specific incremental benefits.
- Requirement for Investments and Incentives Program: Earning a designation can unlock programs that offer rebates and more.
How to Earn a Solutions Partner Designation
The new Solutions Partner is measured on your proficiency in six Microsoft solution areas:
- Modern Work
- Azure Infrastructure
- Azure Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Azure Digital Application Innovation
- Business Applications
- Security
Partners can earn a designation in one or all six solutions areas and includes incremental benefits. Earning a Solutions Partner designation is based on the capability score achieved by your organization across performance, skilling and customer success metrics. To attain a designation, partners will need to earn a partner capability score of at least 70 points (out of an available 100 points) across all subcategories. This means in addition to certifications, you need to ensure your sales and marketing departments are working to find and onboard new customers more regularly — enabling you to hit these thresholds and continue to earn the designation.
