01 / What you're up against
The quarter doesn't wait
Targets · Timelines

Your number.
Our fight

You own the target. You can't own every delivery. We take the opportunities that stall between the customer saying yes and the workload going live.

Stalled deals

The customer wants it, but nobody has scoped it, sized it or found the money to start.

Thin benches

Partners who say yes in the meeting and can't staff the project when it's approved.

Slow burn

Projects that finish the POC and never reach production, so the consumption never shows up.

02 / How it works
Five steps, one owner
From referral to consumption

Hand it
over

  1. 01Refer

    Send the account, the opportunity and a contact. One form or one email is enough.

  2. 02Qualify

    A technical call with the customer. We confirm fit, size the consumption and pick the funding route.

  3. 03Fund

    We write the business case and funding nomination with you and submit it through the right program.

  4. 04Build

    Our engineers deliver the POC, migration or rollout. You and the customer get a status note every week.

  5. 05Land

    The workload is live in production and consuming. We report the consumption back to you, by month.

Case study · AI and advanced sensing · Kingswood, NSW

Project
Guardian

A 12-month trial exploring how AI and advanced sensing can identify potentially dangerous activity along railway corridors, giving transport teams greater visibility of risks and the chance to respond earlier.

  1. 01Sense

    Advanced sensors watch the rail corridor at Kingswood.

  2. 02Combine

    Cloud brings the complex sensor data together in one place.

  3. 03Detect

    AI identifies potentially dangerous activity along the line.

  4. 04Act

    Transport teams see the risk sooner and respond earlier.

05 / What you get
Less chasing
One owner · One report

We do the
legwork

One owner

A named lead from referral to production. You never chase a ticket queue.

Paperwork done

Business cases, nominations and claims written by people who do this for a living.

Co-sell ready

Opportunities registered and kept up to date in Partner Center.

The number

Monthly consumption reported back, so the win counts where it should.

06 / Questions
What PDMs ask first
Short answers · No spin
Do you work with any cloud other than Azure?

No. We're Microsoft only. That's why your customers' workloads stay in your accounts.

What size of opportunity is worth referring?

If there's real consumption at the end of it, send it. We'll tell you within two working days whether it's a fit, and if it isn't, who might be.

Which funding programs do you use?

Whichever fits the customer and the stage. We'll confirm the current program names and eligibility with you on the qualify call, because they change each Microsoft fiscal year.

Can you support co-sell deals?

Yes. We build with customers on Azure every week, so we can take a deal from funded POC to production.
