VIGTIGT: Efter seneste opdatering af kravene til det nye Micosoft Partner Network er "Small Business Solution Provider" ikke længere medregnet som en Partner kompetence som først meldt ud. Small Business segmentet vil fortsætte som en specialisering, præcist som under det tidligere Partner program. Small Business Partnere vil stadig være en del af Microsoft Partner programmet og nyde de samme fordele som tidligere. Dette er den officielle udmelding fra Microsoft: "Small Business Solution Provider competency: The Small Business Specialist Community will remain a membership opportunity for partners serving small and midmarket customers. Small Business Specialists gain access to resources to help grow business, find new revenue streams, and capitalize on market opportunities. From using the Microsoft Small Business Specialist logo on marketing materials to a special edition of the Microsoft Action Pack Solution Provider subscription, the Small Business Specialist Community can help you accelerate your business. In addition, partners serving larger customers may want to consider earning the Midmarket Solution Provider competency to take advantage of additional tools and resources." For yderligere information omkring betydningen af dette henvises der til Microsoft Danmark.
