Has anyone heard any information on M$ phasing out the channel partner program for Great Plains?

I know that they released some new testing/certification requirements, but I get the feeling that they are going to phase out the channel partner program all together. There used to be a link to a 'Locate a Partner' section on the MBS website. That is no longer there.

I called MBS and pretended to be an interested prospect. They would not give me the name of a local partner. I see this as M$ forcing people to buy through them and use their consultants..

Thoughts on this??

I totally forsee the partner channel being dumped. I used to work for a partner, but now am just consulting. Eventually you will be able to buy directly from Microsoft, so the value and $ will be in the implementation and consulting. That is how I am positioning things now ie a person who has been working hands on with MBS can better implement than some Microsoft tech person.

No response from Microsoft man Winthropdc??

I assume from his silence that we are on the right track here.
