What's New for Partners

Greater sales agility and customer commitment

Microsoft is making 1-month, 12-month and 36-month subscriptions available to CSP partners in the new commerce experience. Monthly subscription terms will be priced 20% higher than the monthly cost of annual or multi-year subscriptions.

Operational efficiency and cost savings

NCE makes it easier to manage subscriptions, with enhanced provisioning, pausing, automated changes at renewal, and an easier price list.

More choice for customers

The introduction of the new monthly term subscription will allow customers to cancel or reduce seats more easily, at a premium price. It will also be easier to adopt new products and add-ons separately.

What’s New for Customers

New products with more options

The new Windows 365 is now available in Cloud Service Provider (CSP). There are also free trial choices with an easier conversion to being a paid customer, as well as new add-ons available only on NCE.

Offers to meet specific or changing need

For a premium, Microsoft will now offer new monthly-term subscriptions, allowing customers cancel or reduce seat counts on a monthly basis. They can also choose consumption billing for telco offers.

More value for commitment

Customers can access the best pricing on annual terms with long-term protection. They can also lock in pricing further with multi-year terms, and switch from a monthly to an annual term easily to save money.
