From navigating the interface to leveraging its powerful capabilities, partners gained valuable insights into how Partner Center can be a game-changer for their operations.

Partners discovered how broadcasting wins internally can amplify their success stories, fostering recognition and appreciation throughout the Microsoft ecosystem.
Navigating Specializations: Specializations emerged as the keys to unlocking the full potential of partnerships. Stephanie highlighted the importance of gaining certifications and expertise in chosen domains, building trust with field sellers, and positioning partners as go-to experts in their fields.
Maximizing Partnerships: Strategies for maximizing relationships with Partner Development Managers (PDMs) and Partner Business Advisors (PBAs) took center stage.
