Service specialization

Program Overview and Requirements

Program Overview

Customer expectations have never been higher. Meeting them requires personalized service, high-quality interactions, and seamless, connected experiences at scale.

Organizations are looking for partners with proven skills and experience in service transformation. This specialization will help partners showcase that differentiation and make it easier for customers to find the partner expertise they need to support their growth.

Partners with the Service specialization demonstrate verified knowledge, substantive experience, and documented success in Dynamics 365 Service and in innovating solutions across the service spectrum.
