Trust is the foundation of our business at Microsoft, and that’s why we keep security and compliance top of mind in everything we do. We can’t do it alone, though. Our partners play a crucial role in maintaining trust with customers and improving the way they do business with us—while elevating the security baseline of our ecosystem.
As we continue working toward a safer and more secure future together, your ongoing support and cooperation are essential to keeping our products, solutions, and processes secure and compliant—and we’re committed to providing updates and resources to improve the partner experience so you can drive efficiency and grow your business.
So far in FY25, we’ve introduced end-of-sale (EOS) scheduling for billing frequency changes in Partner Center UI and API, started to block unused Microsoft Azure subscriptions, and released the Security requirements API (available in Beta) that gives partners direct access to essential security data.
To continue improving the experience for both partners and customers, over the next few months, we’re making changes to several application programming interfaces (APIs) you regularly interact with.
This blog post will help you understand the upcoming changes and what your team needs to do to avoid disruption to business operations and sales. Be sure to share these details, launch dates, and readiness resources with your technical teams so they can prepare and implement the necessary updates.
