Praveen_Kumar CommunityEnterprise 

Hi CommunityEnterprise Praveen_Kumar 

Sounds like you've not had a great experience (to say the least). I just responded to CommunityEnterprise's post and want to reiterate, this is definitely not the experience we're hoping for--I recognize that you've both used 'months' to describe your journey, and that I'm coming in at the 'days/hours' timeframe, so let me first recognize that anything I say here may have already been said/tried and apologize for the experience thus far. 

I obviously don't know the partners either of you are working with, but we do have a list of partners here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/nonprofits/partners?rtc=1&activetab=pivot1:primaryr8 . We cannot and do not control pricing for our partners, and some engagements can be very expensive. I would hope not all quotes are as high as the one you listed (CommunityEnterprise), but it is truly dependent on the scope of the work. 

We appreciate the feedback, and while that may often be said, I want to assure you this isn't a pleasantry. While I hope that we improve, such that your experiences are dramatically better, I also recognize that we will be on this journey of constant improvement forever. So, while we'll never "be there", feedback like this--however harsh it may be at time--helps us along the path. 

In terms of your bigger picture: I'm definitely interested in what you come up with from a roadmap and product perspective, and appreciate you inviting other nonprofits on the journey.
