Microsoft's Partner Ecosystem: Why you're in
a Great Position

What is a Microsoft Partner?

A Microsoft Partner is an independent company that provides other companies with Microsoft business solutions and services related to these solutions. It often develops its own solutions, which it also makes available to its customers. The goal is to help companies become more productive and get the most out of their digital transformation.

The Tasks of a Microsoft Partner you work with

Your Microsoft partner is responsible for the following, among other things:

• Consulting and needs analysis

  Together with your Microsoft partner, the first step is to find out how Microsoft solutions can best support your company’s processes.

• Implementation of solutions

  After the planning phase, the partner will support you in implementing the new solution into your company.

• Training for users

  As part of training courses, the Microsoft Partner helps your users familiarize themselves with the new solution to ensure that they can work efficiently with it in the long term.

• Long-term support

  Even after go-live, the Microsoft Partner is available to assist you with any questions or problems you may have.

• Development of custom solutions

  The Microsoft partner develops software solutions based on Microsoft platforms and provides them to you as needed.

In addition, partners can jointly represent their interests to Microsoft - which is much easier and offers many more opportunities than for each individual partner alone.

For Microsoft Dynamics partners, membership in Companial means more opportunities, more reach, and more influence. Companial is a strong network empowering Microsoft partners. And in the end, you as a customer benefit from this.
