SharePoint 2010 Benefits for Partners

Partners have opportunities to expand their markets, develop new revenue models, and increase sales with SharePoint. Now is a great time to become a SharePoint partner or expand current offerings.

Connect, Extend, and Build on SharePoint

SharePoint is the business collaboration platform for the enterprise and the web. Collaboration, content management, enterprise search, business intelligence and web capabilities enable partners to deliver innovative and extensible solutions for customers.

Get Ready for SharePoint 2010

New capabilities such as cloud services, a new client-side object model, advanced support for .NET and Silverlight development, and business connectivity services open opportunities for partner solutions. Partner resources are being updated regularly to help partners get people and solutions ready for SharePoint 2010.

Engage with Partner Programs

The Microsoft Partner Network provides opportunities to strengthen capabilities, expertise to help serve customers better and communities to spark innovation and connection. Learn more about the new and expanded benefits of the Microsoft Partner Network.

Resources are available to support partner businesses in information worker solutions and web development solutions. Competencies for enterprise content management, portals and collaboration, search and web development provide partners new ways to differentiate themselves and their SharePoint and FAST capabilities.

Current partners should review the features of the program and begin preparing their organizations to meet the new competency requirements by May 2010.
