Know What Microsoft Value And Risk You Are Actually Acquiring.
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 evaluate the Microsoft asset inside a target business before price and structure are fixed.
WHAT YOU GET
Financial and commercial diligence will tell you what the business earns. It will not tell you whether the Microsoft designations survive the close, whether the incentives follow the entity, whether the Marketplace offers are transactable, or whether the Microsoft relationships belong to the company or to three people who may not stay.
- Microsoft Partner Health Assessment. Partner structure, program posture, credentials, incentives, Partner Center health, Marketplace readiness, co-sell maturity, governance and risk.
- Microsoft Relationship Capital Review. Relevance, quality, concentration, overlap, account coverage and potential transferability of Microsoft-facing relationships.
- Roll-Up Readiness Assessment. Whether the partner is structurally, operationally and organizationally prepared to become part of a larger business or portfolio.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We inventory the target’s Microsoft footprint, assess which assets are durable and which are concentrated in individuals, and identify the integration decisions the transaction will force. Findings are delivered in language that works for both the investment committee and the Microsoft alliance lead.
- Inventory. Partner Center structure, Partner IDs, tenants, CSP relationships, designations, certified personnel, incentives and Marketplace offers.
- Assess. Which Microsoft assets are durable, which are concentrated in individuals, and which are at risk at close.
- Surface. The integration decisions the transaction will force, and the sequence in which they need to be made.
- Deliver. Findings your deal team can act on, with the Microsoft-specific risks priced and the upside made explicit.
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 inside a transaction. 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 your existing deal team, not in place of it.
