Microsoft Solutions Partner: certified software designation for dab Nexus and dab Loom

We are pleased to announce an important milestone: dab is now a Microsoft Solutions Partner. For our software offers dab Nexus and dab Loom in the Azure Marketplace, we have received the designation “Solutions Partner with certified software designation” for Manufacturing AI.

This designation is a solution-specific recognition within the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. It confirms that the listed software offers meet defined technical requirements and are interoperable with Microsoft cloud technologies.

What does the Microsoft Solutions Partner designation mean?

The designation “Solutions Partner with certified software” is awarded to specific software offers listed in the Microsoft Marketplace. It is not a blanket certification of the entire company but applies to the respective solution.

Within the program, several aspects are evaluated, including:

• technical interoperability with Microsoft cloud services
• architecture and security requirements
• marketplace readiness
• customer success and performance criteria

For customers, this provides additional transparency: the awarded solutions meet defined Microsoft ecosystem requirements and can be integrated into modern cloud architectures.

Azure Marketplace and Microsoft MACC Eligibility

Our designated solutions are available in the Azure Marketplace and meet the requirements for Microsoft MACC Eligibility (Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment).

For companies with a strategic Azure focus, this creates several advantages:

• simplified procurement through Microsoft
• eligibility for existing Azure budgets through Microsoft MACC Eligibility
• transparent licensing and contractual models
• faster procurement processes

For organizations running larger cloud initiatives, Microsoft MACC Eligibility makes it easier to integrate new software solutions into existing Azure strategies.
