>Some features or solutions we’ve developed for our customers are reliant on our exposure to Microsoft products we would not be able to justify or afford outside the partner program. If the partner program had not been available those solutions would have been based off alternative products, most likely open source.
Just a question- what exactly are you developing within the Microsoft ecosphere that's so expensive? Prototyping new solutions with Azure these days is definitely pretty cheap, even without being an MSFT Partner.
- voidwtf 7y agoThis is partially true, Azure has made some of these options available in a more affordable format. Additionally some features have been made available in lower level licenses. One example is any solution utilizing encryption at rest, a feature that was previously only available in enterprise level SQL Server. That feature is now available in lower license levels and Azure.
