Cumulus Growth Programme

Cumulus Growth Programme · Ingram Micro Microsoft partners

Turn Microsoft Secure AI opportunity into profitable, repeatable growth.

Cumulus brings together Microsoft’s opportunity, Ingram Micro’s technical ecosystem and TechGrowth’s commercial growth capability, so Microsoft partners can build a repeatable Secure AI growth engine.

Licences still matter. AI adds a workload-led opportunity on top of them. Cumulus helps you identify the customer’s business outcome, shape the opportunity and turn it into profitable Microsoft work.

Not an Ingram Micro Microsoft partner? →

Why this matters now

AI moves the opportunity upstream, into the business conversation.

You already have the Microsoft technical capability. AI gives you a reason to start earlier: with the customer’s business outcome, before any detailed technical design. The partner who can shape that conversation is better placed to win the work that follows.

The new value layerWhere Cumulus builds your capability
1

Business outcome

What needs to get better: revenue, margin, capacity, speed or risk?

2

Process redesign

How does the work need to change?

3

Change management

How will people adopt the new way of working?

4

ROI + business case

Is the change worth doing, and what is it worth?

Then your team builds it
Your Microsoft technical capabilityYou already own this
Microsoft 365→
Azure→
Security→
Data→
AI agents

You keep the technical relationship. Detailed technical design, build, deployment, integration and ongoing managed service stay with your team.

A capability that already exists at enterprise level.Large consulting firms already provide this value layer to enterprise customers. Cumulus gives Microsoft partners a simpler, repeatable way to bring it to the mid-market customers they already serve.
Not a consultancy. A practical commercial process.Understand the customer’s outcome, find where a process should change, quantify the value and build the business case. Then move into technical design, implementation and managed service, as you do today.

What you build

What your team builds.

Cumulus uses one commercial method, the 5P System. Each stage ends with something your team can pick up and use.

P1

Position

Decide where to focus.

You end up withA clear list of the customers and business problems you want to pursue.
Sectors, customer size, geography and the AI problems you want to be known for.
P2

Package

Build something you can sell.

You end up withA sellable Secure AI offer, with the sales material to take it to market.

P3

Prospect

Know who to go after.

You end up withUp to 600 profiled target accounts a year, aligned to your chosen sectors and markets, plus the approach to reach them.
Profiled target accounts, not leads. No buying intent implied.
P4

Proof

Turn the customer conversation into a decision.

You end up withA leadership-team customer process and business-case model.
45-minute Secure AI Opportunity Assessment · full-day Secure AI Business Envisioning Workshop · question lists · interview scripts · workshop agenda · customer deck · exercises · Excel business-case model
P5

Profit

Build beyond the first project.

You end up withA model for project revenue plus recurring managed-service revenue.
What you charge, what it costs to deliver, what you can manage each month and the margin you make.
90 days to build the foundation. A year to apply, refine and grow it.

You keep your plan, your offers and your customers.

Tested inside a real MSP

The commercial discipline behind the 5P System, applied at Principle Networks.

TechGrowth worked with the Principle Networks leadership team from 2023 to 2025. The work covered growth structure, positioning, go-to-market and sales discipline. The business then reached these results, one year ahead of its own plan.

“Think about growth as a system rather than a series of isolated activities.”

Microsoft co-op funding

Your own Microsoft co-op may cover some or most of the cost.

If you have earned Microsoft co-op, you may be able to claim some or all of the cost against it. We prepare the supporting paperwork in Microsoft’s claim terms to make the claim easier to submit.

The calendar

October 2026 to September 2027.

Filter by membership tier, by month, or by Practice intake.

Five strands run at the same time: Community sessions, sector workshops, Practice sessions, Ingram Micro events and BGF Capital Readiness. Sector workshops have their own page, with the full agenda and the booking route. Ingram Micro events link straight to their own registration. Everything else shows a Reserve your place button, which takes you to a short tick-box form at the foot of this page.

Pick your intake to hide the other intakes’ sessions. Everything shared — workshops, Community sessions, Ingram events, clinics and BGF — stays visible whichever start date you choose.

Dates shown without a badge are set. CONFIRMED marks an event whose venue or registration is already open. TBC marks the few where a date, venue or external confirmation is still outstanding. The calendar follows England bank holidays and school holidays, so August 2027 has no events. Most dates are planning dates and may still move. Times are UK.

Not an Ingram Micro Microsoft partner?

We will introduce you.

The Cumulus Growth Programme is open to Ingram Micro Microsoft partners. If you buy your Microsoft licences elsewhere, or direct, becoming an Ingram Micro Microsoft partner is straightforward, and we can make the introduction.

What happens

A referral, not a sales process

Tell us about your business below. We pass your details to the right Microsoft Partner Development Manager at Ingram Micro, and they take it from there. There is no charge and no obligation.

Usually a reply within a working day.

What you get

Access to the whole calendar

Community membership is free and opens the monthly Partner Essentials Community Call, the Ingram Micro partner events, the WhatsApp partner-update channel and the quarterly in-person Community working sessions. Workshops are £500 each at Community, or included at Practice and Executive.
