ISSI Audit Preparation Consulting Services for Microsoft Azure Specializations

Microsoft Azure specializations deliver strong business value and ROI to a partner’s business. Because of this, many Microsoft partners choose to pursue multiple specializations, each one requiring a separate audit.

Microsoft Azure Specializations

In 2021, Microsoft increased the requirements for the Azure specializations with the addition of a mandatory audit covering the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF). The CAF is embedded in each specialization checklist as “Module A,” while the particular specialization – such as Kubernetes, Data Warehouse Migration, Networking Services, etc. – is presented in “Module B” of the checklist.

Partners are required to take and pass the CAF audit, Module A, just once, regardless of how many individual specializations a partner chooses to pursue.

Microsoft helps partners through this process

With the addition of the CAF audit, ISSI now offers the following audit preparation consulting workshop packages:

  • Partners taking their first Microsoft Azure specialization should select the 3-day workshop, which covers both the CAF and the individual specialization they have selected.
  • Partners pursuing subsequent specializations after passing their first full audit – including the CAF audit – should select the 2-day workshop, which covers just the individual advanced specialization.

ISSI also offers a cost-effective and efficient bundled consulting engagement for partners seeking multiple Azure specializations. This offering includes the elements listed above but allows you to cover two or more specializations in the same session while taking advantage of bundled pricing.

To ensure objectivity, consulting is conducted by someone other than the auditor assigned to your audit. Consulting is conducted remotely using your preferred conferencing platform.
