MS-Watch | at | by Mike

The Redmond software vendor continues in its quest to bring all of its integrators, ISVs, OEMs and other partners under one umbrella. In January, the company debuted its Next Generation Partner Program. The new program combined, for the first time under a single umbrella, all of Microsoft's various partner programs, including its Microsoft Business Solutions Great Plains and Navision programs.

Next month, Redmond will roll out two promised pieces of its new partner plan, competencies and partner points, according to Kevin Wueste, general manager of partner strategies for the company.
