We’re not going to sugarcoat it: Microsoft has made your life more complicated. Where you used to lean on your Legacy Silver/Gold Membership, you now need to be sharp, make choices and actually perform. And you know what? That’s exactly what you need to build a future-proof business.
End of the easy road
Let’s be honest, Legacy Silver/Gold Membership was comfortable. You achieved status once a year and could coast on that for a while. But comfort makes you vulnerable. The Microsoft Solution Partner Designation system forces you to deliver clear performance in three areas: skilling, new business and actual usage.
This isn’t bureaucratic change, this is Microsoft saying: “Show us what you’re worth, or get left behind.”
Concrete, but confronting
Microsoft’s Solution Partner Designation demands at least 70 points on a scale of 100, spread across multiple categories. No partner can afford to sit back anymore.
Sounds tough? It is. But this way you know exactly where you stand and what you still need to do to be truly successful. Microsoft no longer measures you on sales alone, but especially on actual value for your customers.
Fairer playing field, sharper competition
This transition automatically filters out weaker players. Partners who don’t invest in knowledge, customer usage and growth fall away. This creates space for partners who do invest, differentiate themselves and structurally deliver value to customers. In short: for you.
From administration to value creation
Microsoft’s Solution Partner Designation isn’t about paperwork, it’s about performance. Microsoft wants to see that customers use your services and that you actually add value. This means less pointless administration and more focus on developing valuable services for customers.
Your wake-up call
Yes, the transition to Microsoft Solution Partner Designation feels harsh. But if you’re serious about your business, then this is exactly the kick in the pants you needed. Because better business doesn’t just mean better results, but also higher incentives and more visibility with Microsoft.
