Recent marketplace changes for increasing your profitability

Microsoft recently announced updates to the Microsoft commercial marketplace aimed at enhancing partner opportunities and profitability:

• The marketplace agency fee for renewals sold as private offers is being reduced by 50%, effective October 1, 2024. This fee reduction applies automatically when partners claim an existing marketplace agreement or an off-marketplace sale as a renewal in Partner Center, helping partners maximize profitability and strengthen customer relationships
• Microsoft is offering more ways for partners to monetize through the marketplace, including bundling professional services directly into software sales for private offers or selling professional services as standalone private offers. These options are available to partners selling to Microsoft customers in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
• Partners can now identify customers with Azure cloud consumption commitments, enabling you to scale faster, increase profitability, and enhance deal economics.
