Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. Partners are essential to realizing this mission, and collaboration with our partner ecosystem is key to accelerating global digital transformation.
On October 1, our streamlined portfolio of FY24 incentives, programs, and investments launched. Microsoft’s partner incentives are designed to reward partners for participating in our ecosystem and ensuring customer needs are met through value-added services. Customer needs often extend beyond the transaction, so we offer partner incentives and investments across each stage of the customer journey.
What’s new in FY24
Partner incentives have been optimized even further with the migration of Modern Work & Security Usage, Biz Apps Presales Advisor Engagements, and Partner activities into Microsoft Commerce Incentives (MCI). For details, including an overview of all FY24 incentives and investments, review the Incentives Guide and the Partner Activities Claims Guide.
