Partner Collaboration – Copilot AI Readiness Sprint (MPN ID: 7110817)
Hello Microsoft Partner Community, We’re seeing increasing demand from clients exploring Microsoft 365 Copilot — and a consistent gap in readiness across licensing, data, governance, and security. ArcSecureAI (MPN ID: 7110817) is offering a virtual Copilot AI Readiness Sprint designed to support partners working with SMBs, nonprofits, and organizations preparing for adoption. What the sprint includes: • Readiness assessment (licensing, data, governance, workflows) • Security and Zero Trust alignment review • Identification of automation opportunities (Power Automate + Copilot Studio) • Scored readiness report (0–100) • Practical 30–60–90 day adoption roadmap Partner collaboration options: • White-label delivery • Co-delivery with CSPs and MSPs • Fast turnaround (typically 48–72 hours) • Microsoft-aligned approach Goal: Help partners start the Copilot conversation with structure, deliver immediate value, and position follow-on services. If you’re currently working with clients evaluating Copilot, I’d be open to connecting and exploring collaboration opportunities. – Sreita Wheeler ArcSecureAI LLC MPN ID: 7110817Azure Plan CSP Pricelist Download
Dear community, Hope you are doing great. We are a Distributor (ex. Indirect Provider) and we recently discovered a change in terms of Pricing in Partner Center, and more specifically when it comes to Azure Plan Pricelists download. Usually, we were able to download the respective Azure Plan pricelist as a Category under the NCE option. However, what we see now is an option in Beta which redirects us to the Azure Portal. Could you please be so kind to help us identify how will we be able to download the CSV Azure Plan Pricelists as we were doing couple months ago? Thank you so much in advance for your assistance!

Account Suspended Despite Compliance – Seeking Clarification and Reinstatement
Hello Microsoft Community, My company’s Partner Center account currently shows a Suspended status for both the Indirect Reseller and Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider programs, even though we believe we’ve met all requirements. What we’ve done: Completed all security requirements (MFA enabled, security contact designated) Verified business and legal information is up to date Ensured there are no outstanding payments or compliance issues We received a notice about CSP indirect reseller eligibility (USD 1,000 revenue requirement), but our partner confirms our license spend exceeds this threshold. Our questions: Why is the account still suspended if we’ve addressed the stated requirements? Is there a hidden or unaddressed compliance issue? What specific steps must we follow to have the suspension lifted? Can Microsoft reinstate the account once we provide evidence of compliance? We’re unable to perform critical operations like assigning licenses or accessing partner benefits while suspended. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Any guidance from Microsoft moderators or the community would be greatly appreciated.

security score requirements > 80 ?
Hi, I’m a distributor and noticed that there has been an update to the One-Page CSP Improvements Campaign – Authorizations One Pager. Previously, the document specified that a security score above 80 was required. However, I noticed that this requirement is no longer mentioned in the latest version I downloaded. Could you please confirm whether this criterion still applies, or if the only current prerequisites are as follows: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) must be enabled for all administrative users in the CSP tenant. A security contact must be designated within Partner Center. Security alerts must be responded to within 24 hours or less (not applicable to indirect reseller partners) I would appreciate your clarification on this matter. Ref https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/security/security-requirements i See On Update Partner Center Have New Tag Topic Mandatory requirements Or actually, just do this and it will pass the requirements section.

Please help. Old One PageFY26 incentive payout change
Hope Microsoft can clarify this statement for the new FY26 incentives guides. As Microsoft will introduce an incentive payout change for partners that perform a change of channel (COCP). Does this mean, eg.; if a Direct Bill partner transitions towards becoming a Indirect Reseller, will they lose all incentives (as it's basically a COCP from Direct Bill to Distributor)? For how long are these incentives withhold? For both the Disti and the new Indirect Reseller? All customers? Other example; a Indirect Reseller transitioning from Disti x to Disti Y. Will they again lose all incentives? Both the Disti(s) and the Reseller? How long, all customers, etc.? Last example; a customer transitioning from Indirect Reseller / Direct Bill partner x to Indirect Reseller / Direct Bill partner y. Will the Indirect Reseller (and Disti(?)) / Direct Bill partner lose incentives of this customer? This would have massive impacts in the market and would render the CSP Transfer Request basically capability obsolete, as no Direct Bill or Indirect Reseller would ever change COCP anymore due to loosing incentives. Cheers, MartijnNew FY26 incentive guidelines
Hope someone can share some insights on this, as Microsoft is publishing conflicting messages. Starting October, Microsoft will change the incentive requirements for partners. In the announcement it is stated that partners will earn incentives if they have 25 points in EACH solution area. Source: May 2025 announcements - Partner Center announcements | Microsoft Learn In other presentations published, it stated 25 points in a SPECIFIC solutions area. Source: Microsoft Commerce Incentive Resources Conflicting messages from Microsoft, so which is it? The nuance is a big difference for partners. I'd assume the latter is correct. Also note that the incentives will be split further between solution areas. And note the increased thresholds for Direct Bill partners. Cheers, Martijn
