Pax8’s collaboration with Microsoft on AI receives a major boost as the companies announce two core initiatives designed to help managed service providers (MSPs) accelerate their Microsoft Cloud growth. First, Pax8 becomes one of the first global companies to receive full integration with Microsoft Marketplace. Second, Pax8 launches OneCloud Guided Growth, a program that provides partners with training, tools and strategic guidance to build AI-driven offerings.
These Pax8 Microsoft AI initiatives position the company as a strategic partner for MSPs aiming to strengthen their AI and cloud service capabilities.
Integration with Microsoft Marketplace
Pax8 is one of only five companies worldwide to gain direct integration with Microsoft Marketplace. This integration brings AppSource and Azure Marketplace directly into the Pax8 platform, making these resources fully accessible to partners through a single interface. It is a significant step in Pax8’s Microsoft AI development.
Benefits for MSPs
MSPs gain direct access to:
• AI solutions and Microsoft Copilot agents from the Marketplace
• Third-party applications that can be packaged with their own services
• Microsoft-validated solutions that simplify deployment
Oguo Atuanya, Corporate Vice President of Vendor Experience at Pax8, emphasizes how the Pax8–Microsoft AI collaboration empowers partners:
“By integrating Microsoft Marketplace into our platform, we make it easier for our partners to expand their offerings and reach new customers.”
Pax8 OneCloud Guided Growth
The second pillar of Pax8’s Microsoft AI strategy is OneCloud Guided Growth. This program provides a clear roadmap for MSPs looking to expand within the Microsoft Cloud ecosystem, covering Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Azure, security, and Copilot.
The program follows five practical steps:
- Understand Best Practice
- Build It Your Way
- Get Buy In
- Implementation
- Inspect What You Expect
Pax8’s Microsoft AI program also includes more than 110 courses and training modules across technology, sales, strategy, and go-to-market execution to help partners build repeatable, scalable services.
Why this matters for MSPs
With Pax8’s Microsoft AI initiatives, MSPs benefit from:
• A broader portfolio of AI and cloud services
• Faster time to market
• Easier solution packaging
• Support across the sales and implementation lifecycle
• Access to Microsoft-validated solutions
• Tools to scale AI services
These efforts align with Microsoft’s broader goal to create a more open and integrated Marketplace where MSPs can develop and deliver services more quickly and reliably.
