Get MPN Cloud Competency credit with Partner Association

Continue doing great work for customers and we would ensure that you are recognised for helping your customers realise the value of the cloud. We have introduced a way for multiple partners to get associated to a customer, which allows us to recognize work that’s being done by partners who are not the <a href="https://partner.microsoft.com/en-in/partnership/digital-partner-of-record">Digital Partner of Record (DPOR)</a> and can earn the credit towards an MPN cloud competency. Also, if you’re wondering how partner association impacts incentives, there are no changes—DPOR is still required and is the only path to qualify for incentives.
