Under Utilized ISV Resource
The Microsoft Partner Program provides ISVs with many valuable resources. I am always surprised at how few of our ISV partners are aware of and utilize the ISV Advisory Service. This service provides proactive support beyond your break-fix product maintenance needs including:
- Best practice recommendations
- Code Samples
- Demonstrating how to use or access Microsoft technologies
- Feature/function call sequence demonstration
- Limited Scope Reviews
- Architecture reviews
- Application design reviews
- Code reviews
- Workshops and Tech-Talks delivered via Microsoft Live Meeting
All ISVs that participate in the Microsoft Partner Program have access to the Advisory Serivce:
-
Empower ISVs are granted 10 hours
Certified ISVs are granted 15 hours
Gold Certified ISVs are granted 20 hours
The folks who provide this service are extremely talanted and extremely helpful. Every single partner I work with who has utilized their assistance have been pleased and impressed.
