Navigating the changing face of Microsoft partnerships

The Microsoft Cloud Partner Program (MCPP) has arrived and with it came some big changes. A key goal for these changes is to help partners stand out from the crowd with Solutions Partner designations and specialisations.

But isn’t it just a name change for Competencies? That’s just a small part of it.

At Westcoast Cloud, we want to make sure our partners have all the information they need, not just the headlines. That’s why we’ve set up the MCPP Hub, to cut through the babble and highlight both the good and the bad of the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program.

On this page, you’ll find all the details that we’ve already covered on the MCPP. Take a look if you have questions like:

  • What options will CSPs have going forward?
  • Will we lose our Gold or Silver Partnership?
  • Can we still access internal use licenses?

 

Most importantly, if you have a question that hasn’t been covered here, get in touch with our Amplify team to get a call in place to go over any concerns you may have. The team are also on hand to help identify the best Partner Designations for your business and the best ways that they can be achieved.
