A Simple Approach to the Partner-to-Partner Program

In a growing and competitive market where more information is easily available to customers and decision makers, saying yes and winning more IT projects can be challenging.

While managing hundreds of accounts, we have discovered that the most successful Microsoft CSP Partners have taken advantage of partner-to-partner alliances and capitalizing on integrated solutions and services, all while securing customer relationships and helping to lock in the full cloud technology commitment.

The key to creating strategic and winning partnerships is finding the best-suited partner for your business needs. That is where we come in.

Whether it makes sense to build a practice or use the Partner-to-Partner program remains a legitimate question when you want to start selling Microsoft Business Applications.

Depending on your business maturity level, you might want to evaluate the investments needed to add a new service revenue stream. For many reasons, your cloud IT business might not be there yet. In those cases, there is value in working with a strategic partner to implement solutions such as Business Central, Dynamics 365 Sales, Power Apps and Automate for your customers in a co-branded setting.

Intelligent business applications are the enabler of digital transformation. Utilizing Microsoft’s solutions for business applications provides the means for organizations to grow, evolve and meet the changing needs of customers, as well as capture new business opportunities. This means you can win big by never turning down new projects and capitalize on this cloud-based marketing opportunity.
