Since it's been implied that one of the main purposes of the Associate level Partnership is to open a channel of communications I'd like to see some more meaningful communication between partners and whatever MM staff may be needed to resolve issues that occasionally arise with clients.
I think I'm also somewhat bothered by the appearance that Associate Partners are somehow second-class participants. For example, on the MM web site under Partner Benefits "Invitation to regional partners meetings, roadshows, product releases and other partner WebEx events" states that there is "Limited Availability" for Associate Partners. What's that all about? Overall I would like to see more of a clearly defined value in participating in the program. Right now I have the sense that MM takes the money, pronounces you a partner, then asks that you leave them alone. kb > What additional benefits would people like to see from the Associate Partner program >in addition to those related to software?
