New Commerce Experience & Pricing Changes

Microsoft recently unveiled a multi-stage, multi-year investment in the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program to help partners better support their customers’ digital transformation efforts. This New Commerce Experience (NCE) for CSP includes new licensing and monthly subscription options to help companies reduce complexity and achieve better purchasing flexibility.  NCE was introduced for Azure in 2019, so many partners are already familiar with what to expect.  The new commerce experience brings the CSP program into alignment with other programs, such as the Enterprise Agreement, so that all customers have a consistent purchasing experience and are subject to the same terms and conditions for cloud purchases regardless of the Microsoft sales motion.
