Silver and Gold CSP partners will be able to continue selling Microsoft cloud applications and services and empowering customers to achieve more, while benefiting from the incentives paid from Microsoft directly to partners that have enrolled into the Modern Commerce Incentives (MCI) programme.
► Partners can continue to benefit from incentivesfor this Microsoft incentives period
► Need to ensure full co-op funding claims are made within the claims window
The original plan had called for CSP partners to have achieved and enrolled in at least one of the new Microsoft Solutions Partner designations in order to continue receiving partner benefits. However, this has now changed, allowing Silver and Gold partners to qualify for applicable Microsoft incentives throughout the current fiscal year, which ends in June 2024, even if they have not yet qualified for their chosen Solutions Partner Designation.
But they need to make sure that they claim all their accrued incentives, 40% of which are only available as co-op funding, in good time. While Microsoft pays 60% of partners’ accrued incentives directly to their account, 40% is retained and must be claimed back via co-op activities, such as marketing, Enablement, training, and events.
Any partner unsure of how the changes impact them or want to ensure that they can claim and make good use of the full amount due to them, should get in contact with our specialist Microsoft CSP team by emailing csp.uk@tdsynnex.com
