In this episode of IAMCP Profiles in Partnership, Anthony Carrano and Rudy Rodriguez sit down with leaders from the IAMCP Seattle chapter to explore how eight partner organizations formed the Seattle Joint Solutions Group. Together, they built a scalable framework for delivering integrated AI, cloud, modernization, and business transformation solutions, powered by trust, shared expertise, and AI-driven collaboration.Top 5 Intriguing Takeaways for IAMCP Partners1. P2P Collaboration Can Evolve into a Full Operating ModelThe Seattle Joint Solutions Group moved beyond simple partner referrals and created a structured framework where eight companies jointly deliver integrated solutions under one collaborative model.2. AI Helped Define and Scale the Partnership StrategyThe group used AI tools and agent-based analysis to map each company’s capabilities, identify solution overlaps, create messaging, and develop 35 joint market-ready offerings.3. Trust Is the Real Foundation of Multi-Partner GrowthThe partners emphasized that weekly communication, transparency, shared wins, and mutual accountability were critical to making the consortium successful.4. Small Partners Can Compete Like Large ConsultanciesBy combining capabilities across multiple firms, the consortium can pursue larger RFPs, deliver end-to-end solutions, and provide enterprise-level value at SMB and mid-market price points.5. This Model Could Expand Across IAMCP Chapters Nationwide The Seattle group hopes to create a repeatable framework other IAMCP chapters can adopt to drive scalable multi-partner collaboration throughout the Microsoft ecosystem.Notable Quotes:•\t“Faster alone, but farther together.” — Pat Hart•\t“We can behave like a much larger organization.” — Paul Solski•\t“There is just that sense of wanting to see one another excel even beyond our own benefit.” — Alexandra Matthiesen•\t“A rising tide...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/UindEHTGn__6-SCbZTniaGlstpFdtl3YZK640nRKnGI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82YzJm/ZGRjMWFhYjNmNDgx/MWZlNjkxZmQ0YmMy/ZjgwYy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
