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.
The goal is to improve customer/partner experiences in evaluating and adopting our technologies and improve our ability to track and manage customer/partner relationships across programs. TAP is not an additional program. There are four different types of TAPs:
- Product Validation
- Product Evaluation
- Rapid Deployment
- Solutions Implementation
