Microsoft has added three new competencies to its partner programme to enable partners to take advantage of emerging market opportunities and ensure they have the resources, tools and support to offer customers.
The software giant’s partner programme now includes Business Intelligence, Hosting Solutions and Unified Communications competencies.
Partners will be migrated to new competencies if they are part of former
specialisations in related areas.
Updates have also been made to two existing competencies. The Business Process
and Integration competency has been changed to Service Oriented Architectures
and Business Process, and Microsoft Business Solutions has reduced the exam
requirements necessary to join.

Victor Aberdeen, sales and marketing manager at distributor Blue Solutions,
applauded the move.
“Being endorsed through Microsoft’s position will help to bring unified
communications from the home to the business,” he said.
