Distributor Tech Data is leaning on Microsoft partners to get up to speed on the Azure platform.
It has put 50 resellers through its Azure Velocity Partner Acceleration Programme in the last year and has plans to put the same number through the scheme in the next six months.
The programme enables a reseller to aim for silver competency with the Azure cloud platform and improve their chances of growing their hosted revenues.
The distributor is highlighting the levels of support that are on offer to those that use the training and tools with the investment per partner reaching £20,000.
Microsoft said that Azure remains a huge focus and it wants more partners selling the platform and associated hosted services.
Tech Data is at the gold level for the Microsoft Cloud Solution Partner (CSP) and in a position to provide this level of training and support.
The outfit has put more than 70 individuals from around 50 resellers through a five-day Azure technical training course and saw their revenues with Azure and with CSP grow significantly over the past six months.
