As the pace at which organizations are moving their workloads to the public cloud continues to accelerate, understanding their current IT landscape is critical to a smooth migration. Together with our partners, we aim to empower SMB customers to harness the full potential of Microsoft Cloud Services in their cloud migration and modernization journey.<\/p>\n

To this end, Microsoft has launched the SMB Assessment Desk<\/a> to deliver evaluations, rapid cloud migration, and security assessments for SMB customers with Azure Migrate<\/a>. Partners can leverage this service to provide customers with a comprehensive understanding of their current IT landscape through actionable reports<\/strong> that help speed the pace of migration.<\/p>\n

US partners:<\/strong> Fill out this form<\/a> to request a Solution Assessment for your customer.
\nCA partners:<\/strong> Fill out this form<\/a> to nominate your customer for a Microsoft Evaluation.<\/p>\n

Learn more<\/a> about Solution Assessments.<\/p>\n

How do Assessments and Evaluations benefit you and your customers?<\/h3>\n

Solution Assessments and Evaluations are valuable tools to help showcase the value of migration to your customer, and to guide them to a successful implementation through our tried and tested Cloud Adoption Framework<\/a>. Assessments<\/strong> can be an integral part of your customer\u2019s cloud migration journey and an opportunity for you to present the full benefits of migrating to the cloud.<\/p>\n

Migrating to the cloud has a financial, business, and operational impact on how a customer runs their business. With support from Microsoft, you can guide them through this process by showing performance impacts, total cost of ownership comparison, and a detailed breakdown of what their cloud environment would include. Evaluations <\/strong>provide a more holistic view of the customer\u2019s environment. Evaluations are an opportunity to provide your customers with a comprehensive look at their IT environment and recommendations for potential technology solutions that can drive efficiency and cost savings in their operations.<\/p>\n

What is Azure Migrate?<\/h3>\n

Azure Migrate<\/a> is one of the Assessment tools available. It\u2019s a free tool that simplifies Azure migration and modernization with a unified platform. Use Azure Migrate to assess a customer\u2019s environment and provide an actual cost estimation so you can offer specific recommendations based on their actual environment. And now, Azure Migrate has a business case<\/a> built right into the tool. Use the business case capability to build a business proposal to understand how Azure can bring the most value to your customer\u2019s business.<\/p>\n

Partner incentives<\/h3>\n

We recently launched a new Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) incentive for new customer acquisition and we want to make sure you have the tools you need to successfully migrate customers. Check out the Partner Incentives page<\/a> for details on our Microsoft Commercial Incentive Launch for Azure Customer Adds (ACA)<\/strong>. Direct and indirect resellers can earn 15 percent on new customer adds over $100 for the first year, up to $250K. Indirect providers can earn 11 percent on new customer adds over $100 for the first year, up to $250K.<\/p>\n
