Introducing Proactive Accelerators from Microsoft Unified Support

Proactive Accelerators are flexible, outcome-based engagements designed to address your most common technical and operational scenarios. They are a great entry point to help you maintain, onboard, and optimize your key solutions while accelerating your time-to-value across technical needs like Analytics, Data Estate Modernization, Microsoft Teams, and more.

Each Proactive Accelerator is a combination of pre-defined and tailored services like assessments, workshops, and hands-on labs that target your desired business outcomes. A dedicated Customer Engineer (CE) works alongside your Customer Success Account Manager (CSAM) to identify the right next steps based on your cloud maturity, technical parameters, and financial requirements. Our dual-track expert support model can help you realize your goals faster by eliminating the technical and operational blockers keeping you from implementing and optimizing your Microsoft solutions.

Let’s take a look at an example. Like many organizations across business sectors, you may have found yourself needing to transition to and adopt Microsoft Teams swiftly amid a sudden shift to remote work. Optimizing the Teams experience for your staff and clients would quickly become a critical business priority. A Proactive Accelerator is an ideal option to help you resolve business challenges and achieve optimal run-state as quickly as possible. A Proactive Accelerator for Microsoft Teams might include:

• A detailed assessment with your Microsoft engineer to analyze the readiness of your network infrastructure for the new workloads
• An onboarding workshop to ensure Teams is properly configured
• A Teams Live Meetings training to teach your IT department how to properly manage permissions

Proactive Accelerators are tailored around your organization’s unique business needs, while being tactical enough to get you measurable results quickly. Whether you need guidance on the next steps to meet your technology goals, trainings to upskill your staff in a cloud-first world, or dedicated engineering workshops to ensure your solutions are always operating at peak health, Proactive Accelerators give you access to a wealth of Microsoft expertise.
