Align the plan to the partner’s business priorities and to Microsoft’s support self-sufficiency outcomes. Drive partner support self-sufficiency by analyzing top call drivers and the partner’s support operations, and by scaling support best practices that increase case deflection and self-resolution. Own reduction of the partner’s escalation rate to Microsoft as your core accountability, helping partners resolve more cases independently. Deliver Support Technical Briefings, Support Success Programs, and operational IP that mature the partner’s organizational, operational, and technical support posture across Azure, Microsoft 365, and identity and security. Position proactive services and case-enablement assets (for example, incident readiness, reliability and observability, and Well-Architected reviews) to create measurable deflection.
