Empowering seamless collaboration for the modern workforce

We are pleased to announce the following: Microsoft 365 Document Collaboration Partner Program now generally available (MDCP). This new program allows eligible independent software vendors (ISVs) that offer cloud communications and collaboration platforms the opportunity to provide their customers with collaborative experiences inside and outside of meetings. ISVs participating in the program can enable their customers to view, collaborate, and co-author documents within Microsoft apps on their platforms. We’re excited to expand this experience, available in Microsoft Teams, to new platforms.

The Microsoft 365 Document Collaboration Partner Program allows eligible ISVs to embed the collaborative Microsoft 365 Apps experience into their preferred communication and collaboration platform.
