Microsoft IoT Program

For Partners Who Want marketing and sales support around bringing Azure's data collection, monitoring and analytics capabilities to IoT solutions.

Microsoft's IoT program, formerly dubbed the "Red Carpet Program" and intended to be a pilot project, was recently broadened to a larger base of partners.

Partners who join the company's IoT program are listed in Microsoft’s IoT Partner Directory, and gain access to exclusive resources including engineering, marketing, and sales support. Microsoft’s Azure IoT Suite, introduced in 2015, combines the best of Azure’s capabilities in a set of features specifically tailored to power the Internet of Things. The company said its Azure IoT Suite excels in data collection, reporting, monitoring and analysis.
