Technical Adoption Program (TAP)The Technology Adoption Program is designed to provide a consistent experience for Microsoft partners to obtain real-world customer feedback on Microsoft pre-release products. Participating customers find that some of the most powerful benefits include: - Product team engineering
- help in deploying their Microsoft solutions.
- Early product education.
- An opportunity to influence product through their feedback.
- The strategic edge all this can give them in their line of business.
