CoverageNow 3 Pillars

The designations we help partners earn — and keep.

Microsoft has folded the six Solutions Partner badges into three, without changing how you qualify. We know exactly where each one sits.

AI Business Solutions Combines the former Business Applications and Modern Work designations into one pillar — covering Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Microsoft 365 productivity and collaboration. In scope

Cloud & AI Platforms Brings together Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation, and Infrastructure — the broadest pillar, spanning Azure infrastructure, app development, and AI and data workloads. In scope

Security Remains its own dedicated pillar, unchanged by the consolidation — covering Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Purview and the wider security and compliance portfolio. In scope

The underlying solution paths are still individually earned and validated — what changed is how Microsoft groups, funds and go-to-markets them. Plus specializations, Azure Expert MSP status, and Frontier Partner status.

Designations Services

Three ways to engage.

Designations Health Check

The entry point: an independent read on your current pillar status, specialization portfolio, and where the gaps are against the new three-pillar structure.

Ongoing Designation Management

Monthly advisory to maintain and grow pillar status continuously, rather than scrambling at renewal time.

Designation Sprint

A focused engagement to earn or renew a specific pillar or specialization.
