Review
See your Microsoft Partnership the way Microsoft sees it
PartnerPulse is a comprehensive review of your Microsoft partnership, designed to uncover hidden opportunities, identify gaps and provide a clear roadmap for growth
​
We analyse the areas that matter most to Microsoft partner success, helping you maximise incentives, unlock funding, strengthen programme alignment and improve your overall partnership performance
​
Understand where you are today. Discover where you could be tomorrow.
What is a PartnerPulse Review?
Most Microsoft partners know there is more value available within their Microsoft partnership.
​
The challenge is knowing where to look.
​
PartnerPulse provides an independent assessment of your Microsoft relationship, examining your Partner Centre, incentives, designations, skilling, co-sell readiness, funding opportunities and growth potential.
​
We connect the dots between Microsoft's programmes, your current performance and the opportunities that will have the greatest impact on your business.
​
The result is a detailed review and a practical action plan designed to help you achieve more with Microsoft.
Why Partners use PartnerPulse
Many Partners are asking questions such as:
​
-
Are we maximising our incentive earnings?
-
Are there programmes we are not taking advantage of?
-
What funding opportunities are available?
-
How do we get more leads and referrals?
-
How can we improve our engagement with Microsoft?
-
What should we prioritise next?
​
PartnerPulse was designed to answer those questions, and more.
​
Rather than guess where the opportunities exist, we help you identify them with confidence and drive towards them with clarity

Partners discover significant unused Microsoft funding approaching expiry
As part of the PartnerPulse review, our PDM at Pargentic found nearly $40,000 of Microsoft Co-Op funding that we didn't know about and was about to expire.
Â
Within a few hours they'd helped us spend it to offset our partner program participation costs and have since worked with us to build a plan to make use of the rest before it expires.
CTO, Microsoft CSP
We knew we needed to achieve Solution Designations to stand out with Microsoft and to unlock additional funding, but it didn't seem achievable for us. Pargentic made it simple and provided some really great advice and concrete steps to get us there.
​
Now we have two Solution Designations and are about to achieve our first specialisation - we couldn't have done it without Pargentic!
