How We Help Microsoft Partners

Three ways we accelerate
your Microsoft growth.

Channel Building

Build an Indirect Channel

If you're selling direct and want to leverage the Microsoft partner ecosystem, we help you design and launch a partner program that works — with the right tier structure, incentives, and enablement to get partners active and producing quickly.

Partner Optimization

Optimize an Existing Partner Network

If you have a large Microsoft partner network but too many inactive or underperforming partners, ChannelPROS™ gives you the process to classify, right-size, and reactivate — without disrupting your top performers.

Market Entry

Enter New Geographies via Partners

Our regional network of Microsoft-experienced managers helps you enter new markets quickly — using local partner relationships and in-market expertise to compress the time from launch to revenue.

Co-sell and Azure Marketplace readiness.

We help ISVs understand and execute the Microsoft commercial marketplace and co-sell strategy — including solution assessments, listing optimization, and aligning your go-to-market with Microsoft's field priorities.

  • Azure Marketplace listing and transactability
  • Co-sell designation readiness assessment
  • Microsoft field team alignment strategy
  • Partner-to-partner (P2P) ecosystem mapping
  • Microsoft One Commercial Partner (OCP) motion
