Maintaining Momentum as a Microsoft Partner
I can’t believe how quickly this calendar year has passed and that we are so close to the start of 2023! I greatly appreciate and want to thank each of you for your efforts, deep customer focus and ongoing innovation. I hope as you close out this year you continue to maintain momentum and recognize the value you bring being a part of the Microsoft partner ecosystem.
I am thrilled to share that the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program continues to evolve with the ISV Success Program. Currently in public preview, this program is the path for ISVs in the Microsoft Cloud and will support ISVs on the entire journey of building, publishing and selling apps. With all of these new programs, it is important now more than ever to stay up-to-date with the latest partner resources and make sure you are Microsoft certified. Staying certified helps your employees validate their skills, obtain Solutions Partner designations and propels your organization to stand out in the marketplace. Included in this issue is our Get Started Guide to partnering with Microsoft and terrific resources on how to obtain your free certification renewal assessment.
Best,
Betty RhigerCTO, Global Partner Solutions, Canada
