Alongside the 4 new Business Applications Specialisations, there is an important Rate Card change for Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement & the threshold changes for SMB Biz Apps Designations. This is great news and makes the Biz Apps designations more achievable! Read the full announcement here: Dynamics 365 Partner Portal (microsoft.com) Rate card changes for Customer Engagement The rate card helps normalize deployment sizes and is based on typical deployment sizes for a given workload. The formula is: Monthly Active Users (MAU) X Rate = Monthly Consumption Value (MCV). For Customer Engagement deployments, the rate of 40 is being increased five-fold to 200. This means that for the SMB path, a large Customer Engagement deployment that previously required 125 MAU to reach the 5,000 MCV threshold (125 MAU X 40 = 5,000 MCV), now only needs 25 monthly active users. The rates for all other workloads remain the same. Threshold adjustments for SMB and Enterprise paths We are fine-tuning several thresholds for each path to make earning points toward your Solutions Partner for Business Applications designation more attainable. This includes adjustments to Net large deployments, Usage growth, and Net customer adds.
