Microsoft Azure for Partners

Transform your business and unlock limitless innovation

At this year’s Microsoft Inspire conference, Microsoft Azure unveiled two exciting hero offerings that empower partners to turn customer vision into impact by providing a frictionless, fast path to funding. The first is Azure Migrate and Modernize, which will expand via an unprecedented three times investment to increase the scale and availability of the program.

The second is Azure Innovate, a new offering designed to help customers with advanced innovation needs, such as infusing AI into apps and experiences, advanced analytics, and building custom cloud-native applications. Azure Innovate represents an all-new dedicated $100M plus investment Microsoft is making to address the rapidly expanding demand for analytics and AI.

The two comprehensive offerings are great news for both partners and customers. Partners will get help increasing deal velocity and reducing time-to-value. And customers will benefit from expanded scenario coverage, richer investments and offers, and guidance from Microsoft experts and specialized partners.

Azure Migrate and Modernize—an evolution of the previous Azure Migration and Modernization Program (AMMP)—already has a proven track record. The program has helped thousands of customers make the move to the cloud and modernize their applications.
