                    The days of the one-stop-shop Microsoft partner are over. But sometimes customers want more than a partner can deliver.  Smart partners turn to P2P relationships to keep their businesses strong.

                    By all accounts, the market for technical employees is tight. Even as national unemployment remains high, partners across the country report low tech unemployment and intense competition for talent. Against that backdrop, we release the sixth annual RCP salary survey.

                    Some people might look at the "new" Microsoft and say it's less personal, more corporate. Those people would be wrong.

                    Despite snubbing its OEMs with the Surface, Microsoft's decision to allow direct billing with Office 365 shows that Redmond still has its partners' back.

                    For Microsoft partners to remain  relevant, they have to stay on top of  Microsoft technology and keep aligned with customers' real needs.
