Honoring the Ecosystem
That is me 12 years ago telling partners to move to the cloud.

Honoring the Ecosystem

Embracing the Power: The Future of Partner Potential

Recently, I had a profound conversation with a respected business leader and author about the core reason I'm spearheading Ultimate Partner LIVE – my personal "why" and my deep-seated conviction about the timely significance of this event.

To put it bluntly, the essence of the Microsoft Ecosystem and the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program needs reinvigoration.

A Tribute to the Ecosystem

Delving into the annals of tech history, I often reflect upon that monumental day 42 years ago, when a visionary Bill Gates journeyed to Boca Raton, FL, orchestrating a groundbreaking agreement with IBM. This pivotal moment heralded the birth of an industry and laid the groundwork for the partner ecosystem we're familiar with today.

That singular agreement catalyzed trillions in value generation. Today, the ecosystem finds itself on the brink of tectonic shift.


Trillions of dollars of creation have flowed from that one meeting. Today, the ecosystem is at a precipice of change like no other time.


Where do YOU go in this time of rapid transformation?

Historic societal and economic upheavals have been our backdrop. Tech giants, after monumental investments in infrastructure, state-of-the-art technology, GenAI, and business integration, are carving out unprecedented market dominance.

How do YOU navigate, pivot, and educate YOURSELF to realize your greatest success in FY24?


Gone are the days of the grand event. Where do YOU go, turn, and how do YOU learn to achieve YOUR greatest results in FY24?


What are your options?

  1. You can attend a tangential event focused on customers rather than partners, like Microsoft Ignite.
  2. You can attend another third-party industry event, and I hope you will meet up with like-minded organization leaders.
  3. You can watch online content, attend digital meetups, and do it yourself.OR
  4. Can you come to join partners in Dallas on November 13 through 15?

Great framing, Vince. The foundational hardware/software partnerships that shaped the industry are a great comparative parallel for the moment we’re in now. For businesses to integrate cloud, AI/ML, services and applications effectively and maintain their pace of innovation requires another generation of sharp, forward thinking partnership leaders. Thanks for bringing us together.
