Microsoft Designation pathway
Solutions Partner for Business Applications
Business Central partners that Microsoft has certified for Dynamics 365 delivery, skilling, and customer success.
Curated by Top BC Partners · Last reviewed October 2026
The Solutions Partner for Business Applications designation pathway is the Microsoft credential most directly relevant to a Business Central project. Microsoft awards it to partners that clear a partner capability score built on three pillars: performance (net customer adds and revenue growth on Dynamics 365), skilling (certified people on staff), and customer success (deployments and usage growth). Every partner on this page has told us they hold it. Since 2026 this pathway earns the customer-facing Solutions Partner for AI Business Solutions badge, which is what most partners display on their websites.
For a buyer, the designation is a useful filter, not a guarantee. It confirms the firm is actively selling and deploying Dynamics 365, keeps certified consultants on payroll, and re-qualifies every year. It does not tell you whether they have done a project like yours. Pair it with the partner's industry focus, references, and reviews.
Partners that go further can add specializations under this designation. For Business Central buyers, the Small and Midsize Business Management specialization is the one to look for — it is scoped specifically to Business Central deployments.

Business Applications: FAQs
What is a Solutions Partner for Business Applications?
It is a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program designation for partners that sell and implement Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. Microsoft grants it based on a partner capability score covering performance, skilling, and customer success, and partners must re-qualify each year.
Does a Business Central partner need this designation?
No. Many capable Business Central partners are smaller firms that do not meet the revenue and net-customer-add thresholds. The designation signals scale and investment in Microsoft certification; it does not by itself signal quality on your specific project.
How is this different from the old Gold Competency?
Microsoft retired Gold and Silver competencies in 2022 and replaced them with six Solutions Partner designations. A partner that says it is "Microsoft Gold Certified" is describing the older programme; the current credential for Dynamics 365 work is Solutions Partner for Business Applications.
