Microsoft Partner Levels and Competencies

Learn how the new Solutions Partner designations redefine technological excellence and how Esamatic stands out among Microsoft partners in Italy across Cloud, Business Applications, and AI domains.

Introduction to the New Solutions Partner Designations

Microsoft has introduced a new recognition model for partners: the Solutions Partner designations. This model replaces the former Silver and Gold levels with a system that better reflects actual capabilities and measurable outcomes achieved by partners. The program is structured around six main solution areas that encompass the entire Microsoft technology ecosystem and address modern market demands.

  • Data & AI (Azure)
  • Infrastructure (Azure)
  • Digital & App Innovation (Azure)
  • Business Applications (Dynamics 365 and Power Platform)
  • Modern Work (Microsoft 365)
  • Security

Each area evaluates a partner’s expertise through three key pillars: Performance, Skills, and Customer Success. This new approach encourages partners to demonstrate tangible results and maintain a consistently high level of technical proficiency.
