FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the Microsoft partner AURUM
What is a Microsoft Solutions Partner?
Microsoft Solutions Partner is the partner tier in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. A partner earns a designation per solution area when it reaches at least 70 of 100 points in the partner capability score, according to Microsoft. The score combines performance, staff skilling and customer success. The programme has applied since October 2022.
What qualifications stand behind the partner status?
According to Microsoft, a designation requires a partner capability score of at least 70 points. The score evidences performance, qualified staff and customer success in the solution area. AURUM meets this in three areas and keeps building its expertise.
Which designations does AURUM hold?
AURUM holds Solutions Partner designations in the three solution paths Modern Work, Digital & App Innovation (Azure) and Business Applications. Since August 2026 Microsoft shows the badges under new names: Modern Work and Business Applications as “Solutions Partner for AI Business Solutions”, Digital & App Innovation (Azure) as “Solutions Partner for Cloud & AI Platforms”. According to Microsoft, requirements and solution paths remain unchanged.
How do I check that a Microsoft partner really is a Solutions Partner?
Ask the partner for its designation evidence from Partner Center and its Microsoft partner ID, and ask for customer references in the solution area it names. partner.microsoft.com also offers a partner finder. A designation says something about competence and customer success in the solution area, but it does not replace your own reference check. That applies to us as well.
Which Microsoft partner supports mid-sized companies in Bavaria?
AURUM is based in Nuremberg and has advised mid-sized companies in Bavaria, Germany, Austria and Switzerland since 2014 on Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, Exchange, Azure, Power Platform, Copilot and security. We work on site and remotely and have a second office in Baar (Switzerland).
Does AURUM also advise on licensing and Microsoft Copilot?
Yes. We assess licences and bundles, for example Microsoft 365 Business and Enterprise, and support Microsoft 365 Copilot from the readiness check to rollout. More on our Copilot consulting page.
Does AURUM only work with Microsoft?
Microsoft is our foundation. Where standard features fall short, we also work with selected partners, for example Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI, Nintex, Jint, Solutions2Share, TAP.DE and Acronis. We only recommend a partner product when standard Microsoft features do not cover your requirement.
What does consulting cost?
It depends on scope and goal. The initial conversation is free. After that you receive an assessment with approach and effort before you commit.
