InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft has added the Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS) business software product line as the ninth "competency" in its Partner Program framework, it said on Tuesday. Microsoft announced changes to its partner program last week, adding a third tier of partners, called Registered partners, and a series of predefined competencies on which partnerships will be based. Partners can now work up their way up through Registered and Certified to Gold Certified member status by collecting Partner Points based on the skills, or competencies, they can offer to customers.
