Community ManagerThe Benefits Guide is the source of truth for benefits within the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. The Benefits Guide published on August 6, 2024 states which benefits will be added to existing active offers. I've attached the guide to the bottom of the post.
This guide is from January 2025 (also stated in the file name). The August 2024 and December 2024 guides do not have the new 2025 SKUs.
If the new SKUS were announced in Aug 2024, then they should either have been included in Dec 2024 renewal, or we would have waited a month if the Effective date of 22 Jan 2025 was announced way back in Aug 2024.
Microsoft has an opportunity to do right by its loyal partners, and remove the artificial disparity in the benefit program.
