Microsoft Platform Ready Testing
Let VeriTest Take Care of Your MPR Self-Test Requirements
for Silver Competencies within the Microsoft Partner Network |
|
|
Program Overview
The Microsoft Platform Ready (MPR) self-tests have been designed by Microsoft to help ISVs confirm compatibility with key Microsoft technologies and access important benefits.
|
|
|
These self-tests are offered to ISVs via the Microsoft Platform Ready Website at no cost, and passing an MPR test helps a firm qualify for one or more Silver Competencies within the Microsoft Partner Network (MPN). For details, view our Software Development Competency Testing chart and download the Silver Competency Roadmap from Microsoft.
Why Use VeriTest to Complete Your MPR Self-Test?
Many ISVs may prefer to pay a small fee to VeriTest to manage the details and complete self-testing for them. Here is why:
- Save configuration effort: MPR tests require the latest versions of Microsoft technologies as baselines, including for Hyper-V virtualization and Microsoft Azure environments and our test environment is ready.
- Save time: You can save time reading specifications, searching websites and running tests. Our expert team is testing today and fully understands all of the requirements.
- Responsive, full service: You can readily email or call our service team in five global time zones, while we provide 24/7 support, and help avoid costly delays and missed deadlines. We tailor our test facilities to your needs and refer your questions directly to Microsoft if we find a need for a waiver application.
- For a Limited Time: Free Azure Validation with any other technology submission!
What Are the Benefits of a Microsoft Silver Competency?
From the Microsoft Silver Competency Roadmap
- A completed MPR test for the corresponding technology automatically earns selected Microsoft logos, including Powered by Windows Azure and Works with Windows Server 2008 R2.
- Up to 25 Microsoft software licenses of each product to help you gain first-hand knowledge of features and capabilities, build proficiency, and strengthen customer conversations (for internal use only). See the Licensing calculator
- Access to 20 hours of partner advisory support, including pre-sales technical and competitive based support, 5 incidents of break/fix support, and business-critical phone support. (For partners with either silver or gold competencies, pre-sales support will not use Partner Advisory Hours if a deal is worth $3,000 or more.)
- High priority listing in Microsoft Pinpoint and Microsoft Solution Finder. Microsoft’s Pinpoint and Solution Finder applications allow your profile to be accessible to tens of thousands of potential customers in our online directory.
- A customized Microsoft Partner competency logo so you can showcase your expertise via a Microsoft silver competency brand.
