Microsoft Office Live Partner Opportunities
Become a Microsoft Office Live solution developer
Microsoft Office Live provides small businesses and information workers with a new set of Internet-based services for growing and managing their business online. For Microsoft partners, it represents an opportunity to leverage existing skills and expertise to tap into a $14 billion small business software market and access over 3 million U.S. small businesses.
As a Microsoft Office Live Solution Developer, you can use your existing -- or easily acquired -- Microsoft skills, including Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, Microsoft Access, and other Microsoft Office System programs, to add value to small business customers by building rich and relevant templates that automate key business tasks and allow collaboration between employees, partners, customers, and other stakeholders. Light integration can also be added with some server or client applications.
With Office Live you can access the small business market in a scalable and profitable manner by:
- Creating customized, verticalized, or niche solutions built on the Office Live platform
- Supporting and servicing this underserved technology market segment in their adoption of Office Live and partner solutions
- Providing Web design services or other consulting services to Office Live customers
Microsoft Office Live Solution Developers can promote their Office Live businesses not only to the customers they serve today, but also to potential customers by promoting their solutions and services in the Microsoft Office Live Marketplace. Customers, in turn, will be able to easily search for and find solutions in this online marketplace based on their industry and unique needs.
