New FY26 incentive guidelines
Hope someone can share some insights on this, as Microsoft is publishing conflicting messages. Starting October, Microsoft will change the incentive requirements for partners. In the announcem...
I'd still purchase the SPD. In addition to incentives, you'll also get partner benefit licenses (free internal use licenses) to use for yourself. And to get access to MCI Engagements you require either a SPD or a Specialization. This is additional fundings that can only be accessed when you have purchased such a status.
Plus it's nice to have the status for marketing purposes.
Thanks! I used to have one two years ago, but since I'm running 1 man operations it's kind of difficult to make use of all the extra licenses and do all the marketing, where I'm knee deep either troubleshooting some printer or building brand new AI solution, with everything in between in the meantime :-) I'll give it a go in the end I think, lets see where it brings me.
Ah! Well if you're a 1 man show, it might be a bit overkill indeed. Then it might be more beneficial to go for one of the Benefits Packages and just wait for the 25p incentives threshold.*
* Depending on the answer from Microsoft, if its 25p in EACH or SPECIFIC solution areas.
