AIM Migration Deployment Plan Offer Updates

Summary

The http://aka.ms/aimseismic (Accelerate, Innovate, Move) program is built to help accelerate customers’ shift from on-premises to the Cloud. Since October 1, partners have been executing AIM Migration Assessments as part of the FY24 Business Applications Partner Activities Program. This assessment allows partners to scope and showcase the value of migrating from Dynamics on-premises solutions to Dynamics 365 in the cloud. We also introduced a fixed-fee offer to allow partners to execute assessments to a broader set of customers, including SMB accounts. Recently, we launched a post-sales partner incentive to get customers across the migration finish line!   

 

Updates to the AIM Migration Deployment Plan Offer  

We are expanding eligibility for our recently launched AIM Migration Deployment Plan Offer. Starting March 1, this offer will be available for both 3-year and 1-year SKUs of D365 Business Central. This offer was designed to help accelerate cloud transitions by reducing customers' migration costs. Now with the eligibility expansion, partners will be able to support a wider range of customers.

   

The offer consists of a post-sales deployment investment from Microsoft, with payout amounts based on the Dynamics 365 Business Central annual license revenue value. Partners are paid a fixed amount after the migration customer acquires the 3-year SKU of D365 Business Central, and the partner submits a migration plan. Consistent with other Partner Activities, payouts will vary by market type (A, B and C) as follows:   

 

Engagement Size	Annual BC License Value	Payout range
Extra-small	$5,000-10,000	From $2K to $5K
Small	$10,001-20,000	From $6K to $15K
Medium	$20,001-35,000	From $10K to $25K
Large	$35,001-55,000	From $13K to $35K
Extra-large	$55,001-75,000	From $20K to $50K
