IT Pro survey illustrates that Microsoft provides a path to success for consultants and solution providers.

Microsoft recently conducted an online survey of 2000 IT professionals about if, how and why they use solution providers (IT consultants, resellers, system integrators and hosted service providers.) The results verify what Microsoft’s been hearing from partners and customers: IT departments want strategic solution providers that truly help drive business results - what we often refer to as "trusted advisors" - and they want their solution providers to align closely with Microsoft.
