Which CSP plan is ideal for my situation?

 

●     The azure cloud solution provider programme uses both the indirect model and the direct-billing technique.

●     Bad example to follow

●     All CSP programme partners receive guidance from Microsoft on how to grow their businesses most efficiently. Microsoft's Cloud Solution Provider programme is an international group of authorised indirect providers that helps partners grow their cloud businesses. There may be efficiencies in operations and time to market gained by transitioning to an indirect reseller model.

Resellers may work with indirect suppliers to share administrative tasks and pool available resources. Using an indirect method, you may purchase from vendors with whom you can coordinate customer support and invoice.

Demands on the model in an indirect way

Contracts on behalf of the organisation require active membership in the Microsoft Azure cloud solution provider Program and a partner for the area in which sales are to be made.

Direct Billing Architecture

Direct-bill partners buy azure cloud solution provider and services from Microsoft and resell them to clients through their own in-house sales departments. Partners who have or are planning to build up the required sales, billing, and support infrastructure might choose the direct approach.

There must be a direct-billing system in place.

Cloud-based, personalised assistance is available for purchase as part of Microsoft's Premium Support for Partners. Or, you may get technical account management, break/fix support, and proactive services for cloud, hybrid, and on-premises systems with a Microsoft Premier Help for Partners subscription. Review the Microsoft Partner Agreement to understand your responsibility further to assist.

Have achieved an annual revenue of $300,000 or more through the azure cloud solution provider programme's indirect resellers in the preceding 12 months. (Partner Center users may look back at their annual revenue.) Microsoft has the right to inspect and verify the sales that make up your $300,000 in twelve-month trailing revenue, and they may request further details from you as a result. Cloud-only services are included in the revenue estimate of $300,000. CSP perpetual software is not included.

Invoicing and provisioning are only two examples of the basic administrative needs that might be satisfied.
