Mesh for MSPs

# Keep your team certified and your designations safe

See whose certification lapses next, and which exam would add the most to your partner score.

Mesh reads the skilling roster in your Partner Center account. It shows the renewals coming up and the certs a specialisation is still short of, and suggests who should sit which exam next. Exams are ranked by the points they add to your partner score, and the ranking is an estimate.

What you get done

## Stop hearing about a lapsed cert from Partner Center

The portal has a page for whoever books training and one for whoever looks after the Microsoft relationship. Anyone can also ask from chat.

### See what expires next

Mesh lists every cert renewal coming up across the team in date order, so one doesn’t lapse and take a designation with it.

Ask: “Whose certifications expire in the next three months?”

### Know which exam to sit next

Mesh ranks exams by what each one adds to your partner score and suggests who on the team should sit it. The plan is an estimate.

Ask: “Which exam should we book next, and who should sit it?”

### Close a specialisation gap

See which certs a specialisation is still missing, and who on the team is closest to passing them.

Ask: “What are we missing for the Security specialisation?”

### Send renewal reminders

Mesh drafts a reminder for everyone with a cert coming due. You read them, then send.

Ask: “Draft renewal reminders for anyone due this quarter.”

### Get exam vouchers through Pax8

Ask for one of Pax8’s free exam vouchers from chat. Mesh does a dry run first, so you can check the request before it goes in.

Ask: “Request a Pax8 exam voucher for the AZ-104 exam.”

### Find the Microsoft training already booked

Mesh pulls the Microsoft training events on your calendar into one list.

Ask: “What Microsoft training is on my calendar this month?”

What is in it

## Your skilling roster, put to work

Two pages in the portal, plus follow-up you do from chat. Nothing goes out without you.

### Skilling

The page for whoever books training. It shows cert expiries, specialisation gaps and the exams between you and your next designation.

-   Cert expiries for the whole team
-   The exams on the path to your next designation
-   Unmet specialisation requirements, and who’s closest to meeting them
-   Exams ranked by the partner score points they add

### Designation

The page for whoever looks after the Microsoft relationship. It shows the designations you hold and what it takes to keep them.

-   The designations you hold now
-   Programmes you’re close to qualifying for
-   What you need to keep each one over the next twelve months
-   The benefits that come with each

### Renewals and vouchers

Do the follow-up from Microsoft 365 Copilot or Claude. Nothing is sent until you say so.

-   Reminder emails drafted for anyone with a cert coming due
-   Pax8 exam voucher requests, with a dry run first
-   Microsoft training events found on your calendar

Questions

## Common questions

Where does the data come from?

Your own Partner Center skilling roster. You don’t have to keep a separate spreadsheet up to date.

Does Mesh track Microsoft specializations and Solutions Partner designations?

Yes. Mesh checks the people on your skilling roster against the certification requirements for each Solutions Partner designation and advanced specialisation you’re working toward, and shows the gaps and renewals that put them at risk. Your current standing is still the one Partner Center shows.

Does Mesh send reminders on its own?

No. It drafts them. You read them and decide what goes out.

Is the exam plan exact?

No. It’s an estimate based on Microsoft’s published scoring, ranked by what each exam adds to your partner score.

Which plans include it?

Mesh for MSPs, in every band.

## Keep your designations safe

The skilling and designation pages, and the follow-up from chat, come with every Mesh for MSPs band.
