Our Microsoft partnership
What being a Microsoft Partner means for you in practice
Partner status is easy to put in a footer and harder to make useful. Here is what it actually changes about working with us.
- We hold and manage your Microsoft licensing directly, so changes happen the same day rather than through a portal you have to learn
- You are invoiced locally in New Zealand dollars, Australian dollars or Indian rupees, with your own tax treatment handled correctly
- We escalate to Microsoft on your behalf, using partner support channels rather than the general queue
- We see roadmap and licensing change information ahead of general release, so nothing lands on you as a surprise
- Our engineers hold current Microsoft certifications and are required to keep them current
- Buying through us costs no more than buying direct from Microsoft

Our focus areas
Where our Microsoft depth sits
We deliberately do not claim expertise across everything Microsoft makes. These are the areas we work in daily and keep current in.
Azure Infrastructure
Landing zones, virtual machines, networking, storage, Azure SQL, backup, Site Recovery and the cost discipline to keep it affordable.
Security
Entra ID, conditional access, Defender for Business and Office 365, Purview information protection and data loss prevention.
Virtual Desktop
Windows 365 Cloud PC and Azure Virtual Desktop, including the sizing and design work that decides whether users like it.
Copilot & AI
Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness, governance, Copilot Studio agents and the adoption work that turns licences into hours saved.
Migration
Microsoft 365 migrations from any source, server estate moves to Azure, and server room exits.
Questions
Partnership questions
No. Partner pricing is competitive with buying direct from Microsoft, and the licence management, local invoicing and first-line support come with it rather than as an additional fee.
Yes. Transferring a Microsoft 365 subscription to a new partner is a standard administrative process, normally done at your renewal date with no disruption to users. We handle the paperwork with you.
Yes, and we require certifications to be kept current rather than earned once and displayed indefinitely. Microsoft changes these products constantly - a certification from three years ago tells you very little about today.
No. Be Cloud is an independent business, part of Be Digital Limited, that partners with Microsoft to sell and deliver their products. Microsoft sets product pricing, capabilities and roadmap. We are responsible for the design, delivery and support of what we build for you.

Thirty minutes with an engineer, no obligation. If we are not the right fit we will tell you, and point you at someone who is.
