partner selection

Partner selection for Microsoft Dynamics 365 involves evaluating firms based on Microsoft's Solutions Partner for Business Applications status, which requires at least 70 out of 100 points across performance, skilling, and customer success metrics. This framework provides a baseline for assessing real capability beyond the old Gold-and-Silver era. The right partner should assist with assessment, implementation, training, and ongoing optimization, not just a one-time deployment. Discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight how this shift helps buyers identify stronger Dynamics 365 firms that offer comprehensive support throughout the engagement.
