URGENT: Modern Work SMB Designation Questions

Dear Community,

As we are planning our following the end of Legacy Silver & Gold Benefits, we would like your significant help to reply the below questions:

 1. Will we be able to have both the Modern Work SMB Designation that we are eligible for & also buy the Partner Success Core pack?

 2. Does Microsoft 365 E5 that is included in the Solutions Partner Designation Modern Work SMB include Teams?

 3. Does Viva Suite that is included in the Solutions Partner Designation Modern Work SMB include Viva Goals?

 4. Could you please confirm that we are able to combine the new partner benefits packages, meaning that we are able to buy one unit of each package (e.g., 1x Partner Launch & 1x Partner Success Core).

Thank you in advance for your prompt actions to help us conclude with our FY25 budget!

Warm regards,
Nick

    nick_Anag Here is what they came back with:

     

    1. Yes, you can purchase and use the benefits from both offers.
    2. Currently, it includes Teams. On and after January 22, 2025 separate keys for Microsoft 365 E5 (no teams) and Teams Enterprise will be included.
      1.  More details here: Learning Path https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/asset/collection/microsoft-ai-cloud-partner-program-benefits-assets#/
    3. Yes, Viva Goals is included
    4. Correct. You could purchase and use Partner Launch Benefits, Partner Success Core Benefits, Partner Success Expanded Benefits, and Solution Partner Designation for Modern Work if that is the right choice for your organization.
