Azure Consumption / Microsoft CSP Maximum Earning
Hi Everyone, We're working through our Microsoft focused sales plan, and I have a couple of questions around the Maximum earning potential for each of these incentive programmes. CSP NCE Maximum incentive earning opportunity = $93,750. Maximum earning opportunity per customer tenant ID, per product group, per lever, per partner Does this mean that per any given customer transacting with us as an indirect reseller, can earn upto $93,750 or is this a per partner limit where our entire business can only earn upto $93,750? Azure Consumption Maximum incentive earning opportunity = $80k USD Maximum Earning Opportunities at per engagement term, per partner, per subscription level Same question as above, is this a limit for our entire company or per any given subscription for any given customer? Thanks for your help!How Silverfort leveraged Azure Marketplace to achieve rapid growth

By integrating Silverfort’s offerings into the marketplace, they were able to reach a broader audience and simplify the purchasing process for their customers. This strategic move not only increased visibility but also facilitated faster deal closures, contributing to their impressive growth in MBS. Streamlining procurement One of the key advantages of the Azure Marketplace is its ability to simplify procurement. For Silverfort, this meant reducing the friction typically associated with traditional sales processes. Customers could easily find and purchase Silverfort's solutions directly through the marketplace, leveraging their existing procurement relationships with Microsoft. This streamlined approach allowed Silverfort to close deals faster and with less effort, ultimately boosting their sales figures. A case study: closing a seven-figure deal A prime example of Silverfort's success through the Azure Marketplace is their recent collaboration with Microsoft to close a seven-figure deal with a large oil and gas company in the UK. This deal highlights the significant impact of marketplace procurement on both the speed and size of transactions. The ability to procure through the Azure Marketplace played a pivotal role in this deal. By offering a seamless purchasing experience, Silverfort and Microsoft were able to expedite the procurement process, reducing the time required to finalize the agreement. Additionally, the marketplace's flexible pricing models and standard contracts provided the oil and gas company with the confidence and security needed to commit to a substantial investment. Driving larger deals The streamlined procurement process not only speeds up deal closures but also enables larger transactions. For Silverfort, the Azure Marketplace's ability to facilitate customized terms and negotiated pricing was instrumental in securing the seven-figure deal. This flexibility allowed Silverfort to tailor their offering to meet the specific needs of the oil and gas company, resulting in a more substantial and mutually beneficial agreement. Conclusion Silverfort's success story is a testament to the transformative power of the Azure Marketplace. By leveraging the marketplace's capabilities, Silverfort was able to achieve rapid growth, streamline procurement, and close significant deals with ease. Their journey from $0 to over $10 million in MBS within two years underscores the potential for businesses to enhance their sales processes and drive substantial growth through strategic marketplace utilization. As Silverfort continues to innovate and expand, their partnership with Microsoft and the Azure Marketplace remains a cornerstone of their success. For businesses looking to accelerate their sales and simplify procurement, Silverfort's experience offers valuable insights and inspiration.

The absolute absurdity of being a Microsoft Partner is beyond insanity. Some of us have built businesses around the Microsoft Ecosystem (STUPIDLY I MUST ADD). And for what? For Microsoft to block us from our accounts and give zero explanation of the issue? As I am sure others have seen since there are posts everywhere of other people having the same issues, its mind blowing that Microsoft does nothing to assist its partners who are the ones generating them the revenue. Supporting their crappy products over and over and over again being the ones on the front lines getting beat up by their customers because of constant outages, constant issues. Back in September my account was blocked. Not one bit of an explanation. Not one email telling me why. The only thing I got was a notice saying my visual studio enterprise license was removed. Upon checking I couldn't find anything. I open a support ticket. And so far, the only thing I have been told is my account has been blocked. Yet not one person can apparently tell me why? Not one person can tell me what I need to do to fix it? Not one person can even get on the phone to assist on this. Before I lost numerous customers because of this. I was selling 30k a month in licenses. And now because my account was blocked, I have lost access to a crap ton of my development, I have lost access to any and all of the benefits. I have lost access to basically everything even though when you look at my partner center account. Every single thing still shows active / approved. Etc. My suggestion, if you are considering becoming a Microsoft Partner. DONT. SIMPLE AS THAT. The fact they can block you from doing business, block access to products and services you have paid for. And give you zero ability to fix it so you lose numerous customers and don't even tell you what happened or what needs to be done to rectify the issue. Partnering with Microsoft is the single biggest mistake I have made as a business owner. The second biggest would be that I built my development side of the business fully integrated into the MS ecosystem. Which made it so they cost me countless amounts of money and ability to even do business with my customers.Cpor Microsoft Information protection
Hi, I have notices an issue recently that all of our cpor claims for Microsoft Informaton Protection shows as 0 paid avialiable units and 0 Monthly Active Users. Even though the customers have licenses that includes MIP and have MIP deployed. Have any one else experianced this problem and how have did you solved it? So far Microsoft haven't been that helpful. For us it's really important with these cpor claims in regards to our partnerships with Microsoft. Br, Henrik
