On-demand webinar Microsoft New Commerce Experience for CSP January 27, 2022 | 1:00 p.m. ET/11:00 a.m. MT
By Insight Editor / 27 Jan 2022 / Topics: Cloud Customer experience
The new commerce experience (NCE) was launched in Microsoft’s CSP program for Azure plan, Server subscriptions, and Azure reserved instances in 2019, and in 2022, Microsoft will introduce a new set of commercial-priced offers in the new commerce experience for Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Power Platform.
The new commerce experience will result in a more intuitive and streamlined purchase experience for partners, making it easier to meet the diverse needs of customers and reducing the complexity of the overall sales process between partners and their customers. The revisions and additions to policies, functionalities, offers, processes, and billing included in this release have two goals:
- Introduce a set of new offers, policies, and functionalities that will replace the current experience for partners in CSP.
- Complete the foundation in new commerce for transforming the way that partners sell and customers buy in the cloud, and enable partners to expand their cloud business, offerings, and services in the years ahead.
Please join us for a webinar on January 27 where we will review NCE and the upcoming changes to CSP pricing.
