- FEATURED PROGRAM
Microsoft Ecosystem Asset Management
Manage the Microsoft assets that traditional diligence and operating models often overlook.
Partner Development Group is a Microsoft-recognized organization focused on maximizing the value of the Microsoft relationship for Partners of all sizes. With 80+ years of combined Partner Development experience, we are more than consultants —we’re your team’s trusted partner. Using our proprietary framework and the guidance of our Microsoft Partner Development Directors, we help owners, acquirers and investors understand and improve the Microsoft ecosystem assets inside the businesses they are buying, building or preparing to sell.
WHAT YOU GET
General diligence evaluates the company. Microsoft Ecosystem Asset Management evaluates the Microsoft asset inside the company. A Microsoft partner business can hold strategic assets that are not fully visible in traditional diligence or financial reporting. Those assets may create commercial opportunity, operating leverage, institutional credibility or hidden risk.
- Identity and Structure. Partner Center, partner global and location accounts, Partner IDs, tenants and CSP structures.
- Programs and Credentials. Program standing, benefits, designations, specializations, certifications and certified personnel.
- Commercial Assets. Marketplace offers, transactability, private offer readiness, co-sell readiness, incentives, attribution, claims and payouts.
- Relationship Capital. Microsoft relationships, field access, account coverage, concentration, relevance and potential transferability.
- Operating Capability. Governance, executive ownership, Microsoft-facing talent, processes, operating cadence and institutional knowledge.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Eleven services. Four service families. One ownership framework. Unlimited entry points. Engage any offering independently, combine multiple services into a focused initiative, or apply the complete lifecycle across a transaction, portfolio or ownership period. There is no required starting point and no mandatory sequence.
- Transaction Services. Know what Microsoft value and risk you are acquiring, before price and structure are fixed.
- Integration Services. Decide what should be consolidated, preserved, migrated, standardized, remediated, retired or kept separate.
- Operating Services. Put a single accountable Microsoft perspective across the portfolio, and keep it there.
- Exit Services. Make Microsoft maturity visible, credible and transferable before the next transaction.
The key to success with PDG is the fact that we don’t offer generic responses or repackaged and repeated talking points. We take the time to get to know your organization, understand your pain points and priorities, and develop a custom roadmap specific to you.
What We Are, And What We Are Not
PDG owns the specialist Microsoft ecosystem workstream within a transaction, an integration plan, an ownership agenda, a portfolio operating model or an exit readiness program. We are not a general M&A consultancy, an investment bank, a business valuation provider, a legal or financial adviser, or a generic technology migration vendor. We work alongside those advisers, not in place of them.
