ECIF Funding Eligibility
Hello Microsoft Tech Community! We are Serraform a new Microsoft Partner specializing in Security & Compliance and have a question on End Customer Investment Funds (ECIF) funding. Hoping someone can help us. How to we become eligible to accept ECIF funding for our M365 Security & Compliance deployments? Is satisfying the requirements for a Solutions Partner designation sufficient, that is achieving 70 of 100 points in 1 of the 6 partner categories + achieving more than zero points in each of the 4 metrics? We are in talks with a few prospects and they are interested in leveraging ECIF. Any guidance would be super helpful. Thanks! Aaron

MCPP | Partner associations playbook is available
In preparation for the launch of the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program on October 3, 2022, a new playbook on how to associate partner activity and success with customers for the purposes of earning a Microsoft Solutions Partner designation has been published. The Solutions Partner associations playbook reviews how to use Digital Partner of Record (DPOR), Claiming Partner of Record (CPOR), Partner Admin Link (PAL), Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) for partner associations. The goal is to help you understand: Partner associations are the sole mechanism by which customer success, performance, and skilling category points are acknowledged and calculated towards achieving solutions partner designation(s). Without these associations in place, partner capability score points are not recognized. How to get these associations implemented on your end and with the support of their customer if needed. For each of the association processes, the playbook contains information and graphics on how each process works, the benefits for using it, types of associations, a how-to section, an FAQ, and links for resources. They playbook is accessible: For download Or within the MCPP Partner Training Gallery

Silver Partner Incentives after September 30th?
Dear team, One of our partners wants to renew his Silver Partner membership for one more year before September 30th. If he renews before this date, will he still receive incentives (rebate and coop) for another 12 months, or do the incentives stop after September 30th when Solutions Partner Designations will take over? I hope someone can clarify. Thanks in advance.

Question about Silver and Gold Legacy Benefits Renewal
Hello, During Inspire's session https://inspire.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions/8c3d53b4-6968-4f49-8d68-56fccabb9b29?source=sessions, the question was asked - Are Silver and Gold Benefits packages going away? The response was "They are NOT." So how will that work for a partner who decide to still go with the legacy benefits for one more year? - What are the Pros and Cons of keeping Legacy Benefits? - How will it work in FY24 and how will the partner be notified? - What is the most at lost to a Partner staying with Legacy? - Will the partner still be able to renew its Specialization - or is a Designation absolutely necessary to do so? - Can a partner who purchased Legacy benefits last year and who is now currently ENROLLED to the new Designation program renew at anniversary if the required score is no longer at 70? Can there be an exception? I am lalso ooking for documentation about Renewing Legacy Benefits, but so far I haven't found anything. Thanking you in advance for your help.

Update of Overview for Specializations in Partner Center
Hi The Overview part of Specializations needs to be updated For us partners to get an overview of specific programs statuses As of today one can see if a program is achieved, or where in the audit phase the program is But one can´t at all see the overview status for the programs - if they are In progress or Qualified = which programs we have Qualified for to be audited (to start planning for next phase) We do get an e-mail when entering Qualified, but it would be great to see the full picture in Partner Center As of today we only see the Audit status, not the "Qualified" or "In progress" statuses (and you need to click in to each for the status per program) Regards - Gabbe

Partner program email quarantined by Exchange as phishing
I get quite a few spam and phishing messages; Exchange lets most of them through. So when it quarantines something, it's usually serious. Yesterday it quarantined two messages from msftpc [at] microsoft.com titled, "Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program updates are coming." They look legit, but then again, one would think legitimate email from Microsoft would pass Microsoft spam checks. Attaching screen shots from quarantine. Are these real or fake? Regards, Mark Berry
