Microsoft Security Solutions: Partner Pathway to Business Performance

Overview Information Technology (IT) is penetrating more and more aspects of both business life and personal life. Expanded IT is resulting in a need for broader and more comprehensive security solutions, which in turn is impacting the overall economics of IT solution providers. Growth markets such as small to midsize enterprises are demanding simple, easy-to-use, and affordable products, leading to higher volumes but thinner margins. Security solution providers therefore are taking a comprehensive view of business performance, including business velocity, cost management, operational excellence, and bottom-line profitability. As an important vendor of security products, including the Forefront line of business security products, Microsoft recognizes the significance to its partners of continuing to make money in this changing industry.
