Firstly Happy New Year to those who celebrate off the Gregorian calendar.

I am excited to be back on this blog  in a new role, I am now looking after Microsoft's all up Office 365 enterprise partnerships, strategy, programs and enablement covering marketing, services & sales.

I will be offering an invitation to join and come and learn about the next new Office 365 services to offered to our customers. 

This blog will be dedicated to Microsoft enterprise partners seeking to exploit the great new opportunities presented with the Office 365 services.

Having developed the new Project Online business strategy and service offering over the last 3 years, which can currently be seen under customer preview, I have heard first hand the worldwide enthusiasm by customers for this and the other Office 365 services.  This evidence for this continues as customers move their business to Office 365 services today.

So what about partners? In Office 365 it is should be no surprise that Microsoft continues is commitment to partners and the development of partner based business models. It came as a great learning to me, when joining Microsoft in a sales role. how critical partners are to Microsoft's success (and my personal quota). 

Jon Roskill best summarized the crucial role and business relationship partners hold with Microsoft at the Worldwide Partner Conference  2011.

“ We enable partners. Every one of those platforms enables profitable partner business models, and we are the only company out there that does this while generating 95 percent of our revenue with and through partners. 95 percent plus…”. Jon Roskill , Corporate Vice President, Worldwide Partner Group
