Developers play an integral role in the Microsoft Partner Network, building the solutions that power our world’s digital transformation. By quickly responding to customers’ needs with innovative apps and software, development partners help groups in all sectors and industries take their business to the next level. Microsoft recognizes the importance of streamlining productivity and innovation for partners, and we are investing in tools that contribute to Developer Velocity.
Developer Velocity refers to the ability of developers to drive innovation and transformation. Increasing your Developer Velocity helps you outperform competitors by quickly turning ideas into software that supports the goals of both your customers and your business. By investing in productivity and collaboration tools, partner organizations can remove points of friction for development teams and drive solutions forward.
Recent research tells us that the number one driver of business performance is best-in-class developer tools: organizations with strong tools are 65 percent more innovative and have 47 percent higher developer satisfaction and retention rates than those in the lowest quartile for Developer Velocity. Through your partnership with Microsoft, you can access industry-leading tools that accelerate in-house Developer Velocity, including Microsoft Azure, Power Apps, GitHub, and Visual Studio.

Build productively in Visual Studio with best-in-class tools: With Visual Studio, developers can code in any language, debug and edit on any OS, and deploy to any platform.
