The challenge

The US Microsoft ecosystem is the most competitive in the world.

The difference between high-performing and average partners is stark — and most of it comes down to whether your Partner Center is configured to capture what you've earned.

Incentives slip away silently

Microsoft incentive eligibility changes constantly. One missed checkpoint can delay or eliminate a payout worth thousands.

Documentation is dense and shifting

Conflicting guidelines and requirements that change without warning make "what's actually required" a moving target.

Designations are the new credibility

Achieving or renewing a Solutions Partner designation requires precise alignment across skilling, performance, and customer success.

Non-compliance risks everything

It doesn't just delay benefits — it can put your entire partnership status at risk. PCMA finds vulnerabilities before Microsoft does.

What's included

A structured audit of your Partner Center standing.

You walk into Microsoft's review knowing exactly where you stand — and what you've already fixed.

01

Every rule mapped

Each Microsoft designation rule mapped to your current setup — no guesswork about what's actually required.

02

Evidence reviewed like Microsoft does

We review your evidence the way Microsoft does, so weak spots get flagged before they cost you.

03

Validated against thresholds

Performance, skilling, and customer success — validated against current thresholds, so you know what's at risk.

04

AI Readiness Assessment

Benchmark your agentic AI, innovation culture, and governance — with a roadmap to become a Frontier Partner.

Deliverables
