This could really be the one folks - of course early days and all...

I work in enterprise sales for a Tier 1 vendor that is heavily integrated in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Look there quite a few ISVs who partner with MS but I can tell you that if they are able to go to market alongside them it will open a lot of doors - I have no real idea how Livetiles are progressing in this regard but the MS sales reps will be able to open doors for them -

management, if you are reading from first hand experience make sure the actual reps on the ground (not just management) understand the offering fully (are trained) and are incentivised directly for integrating LT - often companies will pitch to the managers but it doesn’t filter directly through to the ground - also start to pick key partners who are aligned with your strategy and work closely with them...

Bottom line get the MS reps and key partners reps on board and Livetiles will kill it...
