From Copilot to Catalyst: How MSPs Turn AI Readiness Into Recurring Revenue
AI interest is surging—but most customers aren’t ready to scale it securely or successfully. Gaps in device management, identity hygiene, data governance, and operational consistency often stall AI initiatives before they deliver real value. For Managed Service Providers, this challenge creates a powerful opportunity. In this webinar, you’ll learn how MSPs are using Microsoft Intune as the foundation for helping manage and secure devices, and extending it with AvePoint Confidence Platform: Elements Edition to standardize, automate, and scale AI-ready environments across customer tenants. Together, they enable MSPs to move beyond one-off AI projects and deliver AI readiness as a repeatable, revenue-generating managed service. This session focuses on turning AI demand—starting with Copilot—into a long-term services motion that improves margins, reduces operational friction, and positions your MSP as a trusted AI partner. In this webinar, you will learn how to: Turn AI readiness into recurring revenue Learn how MSPs are packaging AI readiness—starting with Copilot—into repeatable, high-margin managed services customers renew and expand.

CSP potential customer on MCA multitant/ shareholding
Hello, Thank you for the opportunity to write about this. We have a request where a customer would like to implement Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations on a multi-tenant basis. However, there are now the challenges that the customer wants to map several holdings of his company network in his productive environments. Is this a license violation if the customer includes company holdings from his company network, as shown in the diagram? In my opinion, it is clear from the MCA that the customer cannot license company A in his tenant under CSP in the case of minority shareholdings. Is this correct? AS employees of companies B and C provide services for company A, the customer would like a one- tenant solution Is it possible to reach an agreement with Microsoft for this company construct without concluding an EA? Thank you!
ISV for On-Prem
Hi all, We would like to develop an ISV app for on-premise deployments with our own object range (reserved by Microsoft). What are the steps that we need to take in order to allow such object range on our customers' licenses? Are there steps to take via the partner center? Thanks in advance!ISV Offering SaaS vs On-Prem
Hi all, We are a partner and have some apps on the marketplace (appsource) for customers to download. We would like to offer the same apps for on-premise deplyments as well. How would we go about object numbers and customers' licenses? How do we add our object id range we develop in to be part of the customers' license?

Licenses required to retain access to historic data
Hi Team, Please validate if below statement is true. We need to know the minimum number of FO licenses required to retain access to historic data on F&O as the client is migrating from on-prem FO to the Business Central cloud. We believe it should be 1 according to resources available to us, but we have been told we may require all 20 FO Licenses to retain access. Please confirm which it is.

Summary The http://aka.ms/aimseismic (Accelerate, Innovate, Move) program is built to help accelerate customers’ shift from on-premises to the Cloud. Since October 1, partners have been executing AIM Migration Assessments as part of the FY24 Business Applications Partner Activities Program. This assessment allows partners to scope and showcase the value of migrating from Dynamics on-premises solutions to Dynamics 365 in the cloud. We also introduced a fixed-fee offer to allow partners to execute assessments to a broader set of customers, including SMB accounts. Recently, we launched a post-sales partner incentive to get customers across the migration finish line! Updates to the AIM Migration Deployment Plan Offer We are expanding eligibility for our recently launched AIM Migration Deployment Plan Offer. Starting March 1, this offer will be available for both 3-year and 1-year SKUs of D365 Business Central. This offer was designed to help accelerate cloud transitions by reducing customers' migration costs. Now with the eligibility expansion, partners will be able to support a wider range of customers. The offer consists of a post-sales deployment investment from Microsoft, with payout amounts based on the Dynamics 365 Business Central annual license revenue value. Partners are paid a fixed amount after the migration customer acquires the 3-year SKU of D365 Business Central, and the partner submits a migration plan. Consistent with other Partner Activities, payouts will vary by market type (A, B and C) as follows: Engagement Size Annual BC License Value Payout range Extra-small $5,000-10,000 From $2K to $5K Small $10,001-20,000 From $6K to $15K Medium $20,001-35,000 From $10K to $25K Large $35,001-55,000 From $13K to $35K Extra-large $55,001-75,000 From $20K to $50K Partners can find more details around migration offer as well as supporting AIM resources on the http://www.aka.ms/aimforpartners.
