Microsoft-led migration for public sector legacy CSP offers starts
July, 2024
WHAT IS THE TIMELINE?
MICROSOFT-LED MIGRATION
Many CSP partners have been maintaining two different systems to support their legacy and new commerce business. The launch of education, non-profit and US GCC offers in new commerce will enable partners to streamline their operations and reduce their engineering costs. Transitioning customers to the new commerce system will also give partners access to new product offers—including AI-enabled offers in future—and to durable incentive opportunities through the Microsoft Commerce Incentives program (MCI) for qualifying Indirect Resellers.
We encourage CSP partners with education, nonprofit customers to prioritize migrating their customers from legacy to the new commerce system during the months of January through June 2024, before Microsoft-led migration begins. This Microsoft-led migration effort will begin with public sector offers renewing on July 1, 2024, and will continue with all offers renewing throughout calendar years 2024 and 2025.

NEXT STEPS
We highly recommend using the ALSO Cloud Marketplace <NCE Migration tool> for a smooth transition, minimizing interruptions or issues. Note that not all services can be migrated, such as end-of-life products and promotions.
We are working closely with the Microsoft technical team to bring new features to the ALSO Cloud Marketplace on time.
