Teamwork Deployment specialization

Program Overview and Requirements

Program Overview

Partners who demonstrate deep knowledge, extensive experience, and proven success deploying Microsoft 365 Teamwork workloads may seek the Teamwork Deployment specialization.

Customers need to properly configure, set up, and migrate to the Office 365 service before they can begin taking full advantage of it. Teamwork deployment services present partners with a critical opportunity to ensure customers achieve business value from Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, and Yammer, which can increase customer lifetime value for the partner. The Teamwork Deployment specialization allows partners with an active Solutions Partner for Modern Work designation to further differentiate their organization, demonstrate their capabilities, and build stronger connections with customers.

Partners who meet the comprehensive requirements to earn an specialization receive a customer-facing label that they can display on their business profile in Microsoft AppSource, are prioritized in customer searches to drive new business, and can generate a certified letter from Microsoft that verifies the specialization that they have earned.

How do I apply?

Only administrators of an organization’s Microsoft partner account can submit an application for the Teamwork Deployment specialization on behalf of the organization. If you have the appropriate role and access, you can apply by signing in to Partner Center and navigating to your Partner Center dashboard > Membership > Specializations.
