Comparing the Customer Payment Experience: Microsoft AppSource vs. Azure Marketplace

This is interesting and good to see a simpler - Business stakeholder friendly option.

I didn't know there was a difference, we make Private offers that decrement MACC through Marketplace - do Appsource transactions qualify for MACC? 

We have just dropped 3 transactions with MACC holding customers due to friction between Business and IT. Our stakeholder issued a PO direct to us, when we asked for this to route through Microsoft they were not prepared to change PO and also move budget to IT (they didn't know how to and companies each have their own processes).

It would be great if a customer could purchase SaaS via Microsoft by selecting an offer, adding their PO and receiving an invoice from Microsoft
