Microsoft Partner Ecosystem Revenues Reach $580 Billion in 2010
Today, global research firm IDC issued a new white paper which estimates that members of the worldwide Microsoft ecosystem generated local revenues for themselves of $580 billion in 2010, up from $537 billion in 2009 and $475 billion in 2007. This demonstrates strong revenue growth when total worldwide IT spending increased less than half a percent, and validates the substantial opportunities and benefits available through the Microsoft Partner Network, the program that equips Microsoft partners with training, resources and support they need to successfully compete in todays marketplace while allowing customers to easily identify the right partner for their technology needs.
The Microsoft Partner Network has allowed us to extend and grow our business by delivering innovative solutions to our customers, said Tom Chew, national general manager of Slalom Consulting. Over the past year, weve increased revenue 45 percent and built strong momentum with Microsoft technologies around cloud services, business intelligence, portals and collaboration, dynamics, and unified communications. As a Microsoft partner, weve been able to differentiate Slalom and grow rapidly in an extremely challenging business landscape.
