A complete set of designations across the Microsoft Cloud, earned on performance, skilling and customer success - and directly reinvested into the platform our CSP partners run their business on.
AppXite has qualified for all six Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, together with the Support Services designation. Holding all six also earns the Solutions Partner for Microsoft Cloud badge - Microsoft's recognition for partners with proven capability across its entire commercial cloud portfolio.
Designations are not self-declared. Each one is measured annually through Microsoft's partner capability score, a composite of three pillars: Performance (real customer growth and consumption), Skilling (certified people on staff) and Customer Success (live, successful deployments). A partner must clear the threshold in every pillar, every year. Earning all six at once is a rare outcome in the channel.
For the distributors, telcos, MSPs and resellers who transact on the AppXite Platform, this is more than a badge wall. It is independent validation that the platform you resell through is built and operated by a team Microsoft has verified across every solution area.
What each designation means
-
-
-
Data & AI (Azure)
-
-
AI and data services are the fastest-growing line in the CSP catalogue and the hardest to meter correctly. This designation reflects the depth behind our Azure usage, metering and billing engine, so partners can resell consumption-based AI services with accurate, reconciled invoices.
-
-
-
Infrastructure (Azure)
-
-
Azure is where margin is made or lost on reconciliation. Our infrastructure capability underpins automated provisioning, subscription lifecycle management and cost visibility, so partners can grow Azure revenue without adding back-office headcount.
-
-
-
Digital & App Innovation (Azure)
-
-
This is the engineering discipline behind the platform itself: APIs, marketplace integrations and white-label storefronts. It is why partners can launch their own branded marketplace and onboard additional vendor catalogues quickly rather than building from scratch.
-
-
-
Modern Work
-
-
Microsoft 365 is the volume engine of most CSP businesses. Verified Modern Work capability supports our New Commerce Experience handling - term management, seat changes, renewals and cancellation windows - so partners avoid the commercial traps NCE creates.
-
-
-
Business Applications
-
-
Business Applications is the natural upsell beyond seats and consumption. Partners can attach higher-value solutions to existing accounts and bundle them with their own IP and services in the AppXite catalogue.
-
-
-
Security
-
-
Security is both a growth area and an operational obligation. This designation reflects how the platform handles identity, GDAP delegated access and tenant permissions - the controls Microsoft now requires partners to demonstrate.
-
-
-
Support Services
-
-
Microsoft holds direct-bill and indirect providers to strict support obligations, and meeting them in-house is expensive. This designation confirms AppXite delivers support to Microsoft's standard - so partners can inherit a compliant support layer, or resell it as a revenue-generating service of their own, instead of building a 24/7 desk.
What this means if you run a business on AppXite
-
-
-
Lower compliance risk. Microsoft's partner requirements keep tightening. Working through a provider verified across all six solution areas plus Support Services reduces the burden you carry directly.
-
Broader catalogue, one platform. Capability across the full Microsoft estate - Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Power Platform and Security - means you can sell the whole portfolio from a single automated storefront, alongside non-Microsoft vendors.
-
Credibility you can borrow. When you sell to enterprise and public-sector customers, the strength of your provider is part of your own pitch.
-
Investment where it counts. Designations are re-earned annually, so this is a standing commitment to certification, engineering and customer outcomes - not a one-off milestone.
-
-
What comes next
With every designation now in place, our focus moves to specializations - the deeper, audited validations Microsoft awards in specific areas such as Copilot, cloud security and sovereign cloud. Each one we earn becomes another capability our partners can put in front of their customers.
