Microsoft Partner Network or MPN is Microsoft Inc.'s partner network. It was formerly known as the Microsoft Partner Program or MSPP. It is designed to make resources available to a wide variety of technology companies so they can build a business around Microsoft technologies.

The program consists of 64,000 partners[1], vendors and service providers that build or sell solutions based on Microsoft products.[2] These partners include systems integrators, original equipment manufacturers, independent software vendors, value-added resellers, telecommunications companies, Internet hosting services, marketing agencies, and resellers.

As of 2009, this business ecosystem generated $8.70 in revenue for partner companies for every $1 that Microsoft makes.[3][4][5]

  • In 2003, Microsoft invested heavily in the partner program. Microsoft signed up 5,000 new ISVs to the Microsoft's ISV Empower Program. Microsoft upped its number of technical specialists on staff to assist partners, from 700 to 2,400 in one year. Microsoft revamped its employee compensation incentive plans, tying 60 percent of bonuses in most cases to partner and customer satisfaction.[8] Microsoft also centralized its channel programs into the Microsoft Partner Program. This included consolidating OEMs, ISVs, VARs, integrators and consultants under one program.[10]

  • Late 2010 – The Microsoft Partner Network officially launched and superseded the old Microsoft Partner Program.[13]
  • 2013 – In response to slow sales of the new Windows 8 line, Microsoft slashed Solutions Incentive Program payments.[14]
