Are there any differences on different Microsoft partner portals?

Asked By Laura S Taylor 10 points N/A Posted on - 04/29/2013

Hello There!

I am from North and Central American Region by the way and as I was trying to access and or visit the Microsoft partner portal / network that is designed for my country, I just wondered if there are any differences from the different country that the selection of location has to offer?

Aside from that, as I have selected my country and trying to gain access on the network itself there is an enrollment to proceed. Is this for free?

And is it necessary that you have all of the 3 requirements that is listed on the enrollment page? I hope to be hearing an expert advice about this soon so that I can likewise know what better things to consider and do before doing anything.

Thank you.

All Microsoft Network Portal offers between 170 countries are the same, but  leveraging Microsoft Financing to offer tailored financing options that help you close more sales is only offered to few countries and US is included in the list. The cost of joining also varies between countries.

The cost of joining Microsoft Network Portal would depend on how you want your business to engage in the program. It varies from $0, $329,$429,$999, $1850, $3800, $5260. The Gold Competency is the top tier and the Microsoft Partner Network, Cloud Essentials Pack is for free.

Hello Laura S Taylor,

                      If you want to access any of the portals of Microsoft then you can access it by enrolling yourself. The enrollment procedure is free of cost and you can do what you want after gaining access. All you need is to get to the requirements that are given to you in that portal. You can download things from there and also you can perform many other tasks there.
