Have the additional Azure incentives for Azure Expert MSP been deprecated?

Have the additional Azure incentives for Azure Expert MSP been deprecated?

 

Afaik, earning the Azure Expert MSP specialization also gave you the possibility to earn additional incentives, more than with designations/specializations.

 

I can no longer find any documentation on that in the Benefits Guide or the Incentives guide on aka.ms/partnerincentives

    Marcel_Altena Seen the same thing, always Expert MSP OR Specialization. 

     

    Seems that there're no incentive benefits for Expert MSPs.

      Hello MartijnElfers 

       

      Pgs. 18-23 of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program Benefits Guide provide information about Expert MSP.

  • Hello Marcel_Altena 

     

     

    Feel free to use the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program benefits guide (aka Microsoft Commerce Incentives Policy Guide) as additional incentives are mentioned under Azure Incentives.  Also, Azure Migrate & Modernize is also a program that allows AE MSP in some of their engagements.

     

    The MCI Azure Enterprise and Online Purchase incentive is our highest paying incentives associated to AE MSP and that is actually still active until January 1st.  Starting in January 2024, we will no longer offer Azure consumption revenue-based incentives via MCI Azure Enterprise and Online purchase.   

    Our targeted, results-based approach, leveraging offerings like Azure Migrate and Modernize (AMM), Azure Innovate, and Workload Acquisition and Nurture (WAN), helps partners maximize customer value and drive results during each phase of the Microsoft Customer Engagement Methodology (MCEM) sales journey.
