In a significant development, Microsoft has announced the launch of Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partner-to-partner (P2P) subscription transfers for new commerce experience (NCE) seat-based subscriptions. This new feature is now live and available for authorized partners selling new commerce CSP subscriptions. It enables the transfer of new commerce license-based subscriptions from one partner to another.
This new capability is a result of valuable feedback from the partner community and extends the existing Azure plan functionality. It is a significant step forward in enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of CSP NCE license-based subscriptions.
The new feature is particularly beneficial for CSP direct-bill partners and indirect providers. They can now transfer customer subscriptions midterm to new or different partners. This could be due to a variety of reasons such as mergers and acquisitions, regulatory requirements that necessitate a transfer, business dissolution, consolidation of billing within the same CSP authorized region, and partner offboarding.
Microsoft encourages partners to share this information with the appropriate stakeholders in their organization. It is also recommended to familiarize themselves with the transfer process outlined in the Microsoft Learn article.
In addition, partners should review the Partner Launch Calendar and register for upcoming CSP Technical Training and CSP Community Calls. These resources will provide valuable insights and updates on the new feature and other developments.
Microsoft has also provided a range of resources to support partners in this transition. These include the Learn article, the CSP Partner Journey Map, the CSP Partner Launch Calendar, and the Partner FAQ.
For any queries or issues, partners can raise a support ticket through the Partner Center. Microsoft is committed to providing the necessary support and resources to ensure a smooth transition for partners.
This new feature is a testament to Microsoft's commitment to continuously improving its services and offerings based on partner feedback. It is a significant step towards enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of CSP subscriptions, ultimately benefiting both partners and customers.
