Introduction: What is a Microsoft Partner?
Ever wondered what exactly a Microsoft Partner is? They’re technology experts who’ve earned Microsoft’s seal of approval to deliver solutions built on Microsoft technologies. These aren’t just random IT companies – they’ve demonstrated real knowledge and expertise in helping businesses like yours transform digitally using Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Azure, and other Microsoft tools.
The Role of a Microsoft Partner
When you work with a Microsoft Partner, you’re getting much more than just someone who sells you software. These partners become an extension of your team – they provide subscriptions through the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider program, sure, but they also roll up their sleeves to implement solutions tailored specifically to your business challenges. Plus, they’re there for the long haul, offering ongoing support to make sure your Microsoft technologies keep performing at their best.
Understanding the Importance of Your Own Tenant
Let’s talk about something crucial that often gets overlooked – your Microsoft tenant. When you’re buying Microsoft subscriptions, always make sure they’re connected to YOUR company’s own onmicrosoft.com tenant. We’ve seen situations where some advisors try to add client domains to their own tenant, which is a big red flag! You’d essentially be letting someone else control your digital identity. Keep ownership of your tenant – it’s your digital home and you should hold the keys
The Importance of Partner Certification
Not all Microsoft Partners are created equal. It’s important to work only with partners who carry an official Microsoft Designation, as this signifies that they meet Microsoft’s rigorous standards for expertise, performance, and customer satisfaction.
For example:
- Modern Workplace Partners specialize in Microsoft 365 solutions like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive.
- Business Applications Partners focus on Dynamics 365 solutions for CRM, ERP, and other business processes.
As a Distributor, 4Sight Channel Partner Cluster, part of the 4Sight Group of companies, carries all six Microsoft Designations and as such we are uniquely positions to help you choose a partner that suits your unique requirements.
By working with a certified Microsoft Partner, you can trust that you’re receiving the best possible guidance and support for your Microsoft investments.
