The Microsoft Partner Program got high marks from industry analysts at IDC in a recent survey comparing the channel programs of 25 top software vendors.
The report, "Worldwide Software Channel Program 2005 Vendor Profiles," was published by Framingham, Mass.-based IDC in December and posted on Microsoft's Web site this week. In the study, IDC places Microsoft in the best spot of its "leadership grid" for software partner programs.
IBM's partnering program graphs close behind Microsoft's. Other vendors in the coveted upper right square of IDC's grid include Progress, Oracle, CA, Novell, BEA and Sun.
