Microsoft plans to formally launch its revised Channel Builder next Monday. The high-quality matchmaking tool, designed to allow Microsoft ISVs and service partners to collaborate on solutions, has been in pilot testing with 150 partners for several months and is now ready for business, said Vlad Martynov, senior director of ISVs at the Redmond, Wash.-based company.

Plans call for the tool to go live for Gold partners on Dec. 20 and for Certified partners on Jan. 10, according to Microsoft. Registered partners can access the site in view-only mode.
