Updated Solutions Partner badge names

Partner Center Announcements Β· 5 Aug 2026

πŸ€– Customer-facing Solutions Partner badges now align with three commercial areas: AI Business Solutions, Cloud & AI Platforms and Security.

πŸ€– Business Applications and Modern Work map to AI Business Solutions, while the three Azure paths map to Cloud & AI Platforms.

πŸ’‘ The six underlying qualification paths, scoring metrics, benefits and specialization criteria remain unchanged.

πŸ‘‰ Partners can update their websites and sales materials to reflect the new badge names without assuming they must requalify under a new framework.

πŸ’‘ The change is how capability is presented to customers, not a reset of the work already counted toward attainment.
