black friday is over - xmas wishes are coming: my wishlist for the next community call

Hi Dan and the Training Service Partner Team,

 

I´m appreciated that the Training Services Partner Portal is coming to life in the partner center. And the next TSPCC (the last for 2023) is coming next week.

 

Here is my wishlist for topics and answers in the next community call:

 

  • What is the content strategy for Modern Work Content (incl. Basic Topics, Exchange Online, SharePoint)? Is there anything planned in the future? (also replacement for MS203, MS040)
    (Please not MS102 is the solution - it isnt)
  • How should MCTs prepare for training with Copilot Topics? (M365 Copilot Licenses in Partner Program, MCT Licenses, ALHs with Copilot)
  • What is the solution for tenants and creditcards? (MS721, PL500, etc.)
  • Is there something planned to deal with the changed licensing options for M365 in EEA (without Teams) or are there any plans to have an european ALH with EEA tenants?
  • Are there any other options for partners when not reaching the solution provider requirements for 2024 than to buy the action pack (which is not an option for many partners). - e.g. legacy silver benefits again for 2024?

Maybe some of these topics can be discussed/answered in the December call.

 

That would be awesome - wish you all a great "advent".

 

Best regards,

Mario Fuchs

    Hi Mario - thanks for the thoughtful list of questions. This is a great way to bring pertinent topics to the call. These are diverse, so I'll have to track down some answers from different stakeholders which I won't be able to do in time for the call. However, I'll come back to this thread with some answers.

     

    1. I'll try and get the Modern Work content lead to join our January 17th Community Call to give you some insight into the future roadmap. 
    2. Copilot is a huge topic right now for content and licenses. We'll have some info on the call tomorrow, but we'll have to wait until 2024 for better answers, especially around MCTs. This is not information that Worldwide Learning is withholding, we just don't have any word yet. 
    3. Tenants and credit cards - I'll get back to you.
    4. M365 in EEA - I'll get back to you. I'll need to track this down from the larger partner network stakeholders. 
    5. As long as you still have legacy gold or silver benefits, you'll be able to renew them at your next anniversary date. Once they lapse you can't get them back, but they (the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program team) have made no announcement about removing those legacy benefits. 

    Thanks, 

    Dan
