The relationship, which was announced as part of a launch of new development tools for the Microsoft Dynamics enterprise resources planning software, paves the way for the Motorola partners to port their existing enterprise mobility platforms to the Microsoft Dynamics platform.
Because enterprise mobility solutions require both hardware and software applications, the relationship between Motorola and Microsoft presented new opportunities for both vendors' channel partners, the companies said.
As a result of the agreement, Motorola and Microsoft partners will now be able to join the other vendor's partner community following a qualification process. Alternatively, partners will also be able to work collaboratively with each other to create more comprehensive solutions for their customers.
Motorola is encouraging Microsoft resellers to join its highly-regarded enterprise mobility PartnerSelect program.
"We have been working very closely with Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions in the development of our tools and applications for well over a year," Microsoft Dynamics Mobile product unit manager Bjarne Schøn said.
"We are very excited about teaming with Motorola and its mobility solutions partners on a global basis. As a leader in enterprise mobility, Motorola has a strong partner program and the broad coverage needed to support Microsoft Dynamics' efforts to provide mobility solutions to our customers."
