On July 1, 2020, the Microsoft Azure team launched a new experience for Azure Partners on Azure Partner Zone. The site will feature the latest news, resources, and content to help partners stay abreast of emerging trends, learn about new products and features, and find the tools needed to build a thriving Azure practice.
In addition to the new web experience for Azure Partners, engineering and marketing teams across Azure will be hosting special events for partners, designed to help build, scale, and secure your Azure practice. The most recent event was with industry experts, Service Leadership Inc, aimed at helping our IT Service Partners prepare and manage a new global economic climate. The webinar illustrated likely upcoming macro-economic scenarios, likely Service Provider revenue and profit paths through recovery, and suggested actions for Service Providers to maximize revenue, profit, and safety. Access to the event recording is available on Partner Zone.
The next event is an exclusive pre-Inspire workshop for Microsoft Partners on Monday, July 20. This full-day, eight-session series is an interactive experience for partners designed to help you build and scale managed services on Azure. Hear from leadership about the future of Azure and learn how you can leverage our cloud-native management solution to reduce operational costs, generate new revenue opportunities, and expand the value of your offerings.
