The new program features six Solutions Partner designations that align to a specific solution area, replacing the 18 legacy Gold or Silver competencies. Each Solutions Partner designation includes incremental benefits so you can stand out from the competition and increase your reach. Check out the Solutions Partner Benefit Guide to learn more.
In order to qualify for a Solutions Partner designation you need to achieve the required partner capability score in that particular Azure area. This is calculated through measurements based on data that’s already captured in Partner Center. The requirement for each Azure area is defined separately.
For example, to become a Solutions Partner for Digital and App Innovation (Azure), you need to demonstrate your ability to help customers build, run, and manage cloud-native applications across multiple clouds and at the edge.
In addition to the above, you also need to meet the requirements for Performance and Customer Success in the Azure area you want to achieve the Solutions Partner designation. These are defined differently for each Azure area and are also outlined in the Solutions Partner Benefit Guide. The good news is that even if you have a current Gold competency and are not currently on track to attain the new requirements for Solutions Partner, you will still be able to keep your existing anniversary date and rewards through October 2023. microsoft solutions
