What’s new in the marketplace value calculator? The calculator keeps the features that we released in September 2024, including the ability to enter a few simple data points and see exactly how many direct value benefits, cloud, credits, and incentives your business can unlock with the Microsoft commercial marketplace. You’ll still be able to plug in projections and see how benefits and free products outweigh small marketplace fees. But we’ve enhanced the calculator to provide even more value: Optional logic built in for business cases: We know that not all businesses are the same. So, we’ve introduced additional logic to both the revenue and deal-based model. You can get a more granular picture of costs and benefits personalized to the expenses that your business has to make a better-informed decision. Exportable presentation-ready decks: Need to present on the business case and don’t have much time? No problem. You can now get a full deck to present (in addition to the one-page data breakdown) to show your team the value that Microsoft commercial marketplace affords you. No additional work is required from you, other than clicking a button. If you’d like to edit after you’ve download, you have the ability to edit, delete, or add slides as needed. Additional fees and benefits represented: The initial release of the marketplace calculator proved so popular that we’ve added more benefits and fees. These can help your team see a 3-year long-range view of fees including renewal fees, operational costs, and deal velocity. With these additions your team can get a clearer picture of how much your business can benefit from selling on the commercial marketplace. Check out the enhanced calculator. How it works The marketplace value calculator, found here, still works with a simple design. Start by choosing your benefits, enter a few pertinent numbers with your chosen revenue model, New: After entering your numbers, click on Optional fields to add more information (to get a more granular picture), After saving, you can click Calculate to see the projections for 3-year totals and by year, Click on Read full report to see a line-item calculation of costs and benefits, New: When you click on Export report, you’re given the choice of a pdf, line-item one-pager, or a Marketplace value presentation.

And that’s it, in under 10 minutes, you can have a full business case with data-driven specifics ready for your team to look at! What you’ll get when you use the calculator You still get a strong data-driven business case of working with Microsoft. However, you now have more than just numbers, you have a more robust picture of your business costs to be offset by all the benefits that Microsoft has for your business in offerings.

Azure App Service Web Job Access
We have published a Managed App that includes a backend Web Job hosted on an Azure App Service, we did not use Azure Functions because this process can run for many hours. I understand some architectural thoughts could make it work, that change may come in the future. However, right now. We have the Plan configured to allow Partner owner access. But when I look at the web jobs on a customer environment I am unable to start the web job or view the logs of the web job. When I attempt to view the logs going through the Managed Applications Center I get this error: How do we get permission to run a job or view the logs? I would have thought owner access would be sufficient.Multitenant and Marketplace publishing, issue with Solution Designation
We have our solution published on Microsoft Marketplace using Partner Center. This is first / main Partner center MPN Location and Microsoft tenant in Europe. Now publishing requires having Solution Designation. We need to publish this solution on another MPN Location / Microsoft tenant in US. On the second / child tenant, we did not reach the Solution Designation, so it is not active. Therefore, we are unable to publish solution on Microsoft Marketplace due to missing Solution designation. Should Solution Designation status be automatically inherited from partner (main) to child tenant / locations? How can we grow revenue etc to reach solution designation, if we cannot publish (already successful) solution on Marketplace.
