We’re excited to announce our new International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners (IAMCP) membership. We look forward to upcoming opportunities for collaboration, growth, and innovation within the ‘Microsoft ecosystem’.
Although, our association with the IAMCP is not entirely new. Our co-founder, Simon Langdown, has been actively involved with the group for several years, serving as treasurer since January 2020.
This longstanding relationship has allowed us to see firsthand the immense value and opportunities the IAMCP offers, and by joining as a company, we aim to leverage these benefits on a broader scale:
Since its inception in 1994, the IAMCP has worked to bring the best Microsoft Partners together to leverage their joint strengths in delivering world-class solutions to clients while enhancing ties to Microsoft.
With 25 years of partnership success, the IAMCP has grown to over 100 chapters in over 40 countries – and over 2,000 members. The growth continues, with several new chapters formed across the globe every year, making it easier than ever for members to connect with other partners and Microsoft personnel.
Our new membership allows us to work closely with other Microsoft partners to broaden our capabilities and enhance the products and services we can offer our client base. Access to high-quality training materials will also empower our team and enable them to continuously learn and develop, enhancing their skills, knowledge, and performance, further improving our service offering and project outcomes.
Another advantage is early access to Microsoft product roadmaps. The IAMCP's close relationship with Microsoft ensures that, as members, we can stay ahead of the curve, allowing us to prepare, adapt, and implement new technologies and solutions before they become mainstream.
Furthermore, being a member of IAMCP helps amplify our voice within the Microsoft community. As a smaller company, being heard can often be challenging; however, through IAMCP, we gain a platform to express our views, share experiences, and contribute to broader conversations.
As a result, our clients will benefit from more efficient, knowledgeable, and effective service, driving overall business growth. Our enhanced position within the ‘Microsoft ecosystem’ will better equip us to meet our clients' needs with cutting-edge solutions and insights.
As a member of the IAMCP UK board, Simon has already contributed significantly to the IAMCP’s work in the UK. As a company, we plan to actively participate in numerous IAMCP events, ensuring we maximise the value of our membership.
We are excited for the IAMCP EMEA Illuminate & Re:think Conference in Cologne. Scheduled for September, this conference will bring together partners from across the EMEA region to discuss Microsoft Partner strategy, AI & Copilot strategies, and Skilling for Partners.
Our membership with the IAMCP is a strategic step towards growth and innovation. By connecting with other Microsoft partners, accessing valuable resources, and enhancing our service offerings, we are poised to deliver even greater value to our clients.
