What are the six types of solutions partner designations?

The six types of solutions partner designations map directly to Microsoft’s key solution areas and typical customer demand patterns. The Business Applications designation focuses on partners that deliver solutions using Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and related technologies to transform finance, sales, service, operations, and more. Data & AI (Azure) recognizes partners that specialize in building modern data platforms, analytics, and AI‑driven solutions on Azure. Digital & App Innovation (Azure) targets partners who create, modernize, and manage cloud‑native applications using Azure, DevOps, GitHub, containers, and microservices. Infrastructure (Azure) suits those who design and manage hybrid cloud, migrations, networking, and core infrastructure workloads. Security recognizes partners that protect identities, data, devices, and applications across multi‑cloud and hybrid environments. Finally, Modern Work is designed for partners who drive collaboration, productivity, and endpoint modernization through tools like Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams. Each type represents a clear path to build and market specialized practices that customers can easily understand.
