CPOR Association for Incentives and Recognition

CPOR Association for Incentives and Recognition

As I am sure you are all aware we all need to claim CPOR when we are not the billing partner. 

I have seen some changes to this process in recent months and wanted to get some clarification please

• Build Intent  - Advisor (Pre-sales)
  • We have recently been told that this is only for incentives
    • So now Msft will pay you for workloads that you are not recognised for ??
• Influenced Revenue Recognition - Non Incentivised
  • This will get you association and recognition for the workloads
• Usage Recognition - Non Incentivised
  • This will get you association and recognition for the workloads
  • You appear to only be able to claim this if you use the Msft template. 
    • All other signed documentation appear to be rejected

My questions are

• When did Msft make these changes and why
• What is the difference between Influenced and Usage Recognition
• Why MUST we use the template, and not be able to use a signed SoW with the details included
• We are now potentially making 3 claims per customer to ensure that they are fully associated to our Solution Designation scores
