For 50 years, Microsoft has been at the forefront of technology, driving innovation that empowers organizations worldwide. With millions of partner employees trained on Microsoft solutions, our global network of over 500,000 partners is unlocking market opportunities, accelerating success, and fostering sustainable growth across industries. As we celebrate this 50-year milestone, we remain committed to our partners.
As part of this commitment, we are excited to announce Microsoft Sales Titan. Currently in private preview for Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partners, and available for all partners in summer 2025, Sales Titan is a centralized skilling portal tailored to help sales professionals enhance their proficiency in s and position themselves as industry leaders.
Sales Titan is designed to go beyond traditional training and help partners differentiate themselves, expand their influence, and grow their business while we continue to enhance our partner skilling portals.
Elevating sales excellence
Sales professionals need more than just product knowledge—they must be strategic advisors who articulate the value of Microsoft and drive meaningful customer conversations. Sales Titan provides a structured learning path that helps them achieve that goal in two progressive learning phases:
- Proficient phase: Focused on security training, this phase equips sales professionals with the knowledge to position Microsoft 365 E5 security and compliance licenses and access essential resources.
- Titan phase: Designed for sales professionals to apply their expertise in customer conversations, this phase includes skill-based assessments, certifications, and sales strategy development.
Partners can learn at their own pace through tailored training, track progress and earn credentials that boost credibility, and use Sales Titan badges to unlock new opportunities and strengthen their position as trusted consultants.
The future of partner skilling: 2025 and beyond
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, skilling is more critical than ever. Businesses must stay ahead of trends, equip their teams with the latest knowledge, and develop expertise in emerging technologies. As part of our ongoing commitment, Microsoft is streamlining skilling requests, reducing delays, and ensuring partners gain the expertise needed to execute complex projects with confidence.
AI, cybersecurity, and industry-specific training are poised for major growth as businesses strive to stay ahead in an increasingly digital and data-driven world. At the same time, self-guided learning, stackable certifications, and flexible, hands-on learning experiences will become essential for career resilience. To help partners thrive, Microsoft is enhancing our skilling programs to ensure partner learning keeps pace with the innovation of our products.
