Take advantage of Microsoft’s Azure Credit Offer for your Azure opportunities
Microsoft have launched an initiative to help MSPs accelerate their Azure opportunities. This initiative is referred to as the Azure Credit Offer (ACO) and was designed to drive Microsoft Azure consumption within your existing customer base.
The ACO provides Azure credits, directly from Microsoft, to offset the price of Azure opportunities and help accelerate customer deals.
If you have a larger Azure opportunity worth over $5k ACR annually or more, why not benefit from a year’s worth of credit to help your customers grow.
