IT Pro Training
Renewing Microsoft partnership
Partner Microsoft has revamped its partner programme. (IT) organisations must meet new requirements in various areas including certification. The points you can achieve within these area’s are divided into three areas:
- Performance
- Skilling
- Customer Success
Performance is about the number of customers you add. Achieving certifications falls under Skilling and Customer Success concerns the growth in usage and number of implementations of your solutions. To remain or become a Microsoft Partner, you need to achieve at least 70 out of 100 points in one of these Solution Areas.
In this article, we zoom in on the Skilling section, for which you can receive between 25 and 40 points. Employees must therefore obtain certifications to score points.
You have the components below for which you can achieve partner status, namely:
- Data & IA
- Digital & App Innovation
- Infrastructure
- Modern Work
- Security
For each section, you have a choice of different certifications and Intermediate and Advanced levels. Depending on the number of points you have obtained in the Performance and Customer Success areas, you need to pass a minimum number of exams. As this is different for each party, you can check the details of this via the Microsoft Partner Centre. If you need help with this, we will be happy to help and explain the various options available to you.
