What Is the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program?
The Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program (formerly the Microsoft Partner Network) is Microsoft's umbrella program covering every partner motion - CSP resale, Azure consumption, co-sell and services. Partners earn Solutions Partner designations per solution area via a Partner Capability Score, with specializations on top gating the richest funding.
It matters because Microsoft is the most complex incentive environment in the channel - a dozen-plus programs, each with distinct attribution, eligibility, caps and claim windows that almost no partner tracks in full.
