Microsoft community investment programs

Partners can earn increased incentives when focusing on Dynamics customer-adds and driving active usage. This program will continue rewarding partners for driving Azure consumption and sales of Modern Workplace Cloud, with higher year-over-year rates on M E5 within the Enterprise Agreement. These programs are moving to an incentive model where partners can earn when customers hit usage milestones.

We are also simplifying the customer association via a claims process. In order for you to take full advantage of these incentives, we are streamlining the customer conversion and service processes. These changes will allow your customers to evolve their current contracts into Enterprise Agreements or Microsoft Customer Agreements far easier than before, giving you a more direct path to customer expansion and retention.

These commerce platform optimizations are founded on the same principles as our individual incentives program changes—to not only help you provide the level of service your customers expect, but to directly connect that level of service to the financial incentives that can help your business grow. Partnership should work both ways. And we want to be the right partner for you.
