    Deployment Voucher Utilization

    Suggested by – Completed  – 1 Comments

    Difficulty in reaching Deployment Vouchers and customers not using them. Suggest that the referral team engages with customers to ensure voucher usage and explore converting unused vouchers into referrals.

    Minimum number of Copilot licenses is too high for campaign

    Suggested by – Completed  – 2 Comments

    The requirement of 1000 Copilot-eligible licenses for the FastTrack Copilot campaign is still too high, especially compared to the eligibility for MCI Copilot workshops. It's hard to promote FastTrack’s exclusive Copilot offers because most buyers are still testing the product and are unlikely to commit to purchasing 1000+ licenses. Why hasn’t this been reviewed and adjusted, especially with many partners expressing concerns?

    AI Transformation in FPC

    Suggested by – Completed  – 1 Comments

    The first slide of this call mentioned that AI Transformation would be a key focus for FY25, but we haven't received any information on that or on Copilot. Will this be covered in another call? How do we prepare in time for any new campaigns that may come in that space?

    What are recent mandatory requirements to maintain FastTrack Ready Partner

    Suggested by Tereza Špecinger – Completed  – 2 Comments

    Would it be possible to consolidate mandatory requirements to maintain FastTrack Ready Partner? In T&C the requirements are "scattered throughout the document" - some (to have at least one specialization in MW and/or Security or be part of selected programs) are under FCP requirements, some (performance and success story/insights item) are under Program Criteria and some (to submit a claim via CPOR for at least one new Eligible Customer tenant per month) is under Fasttrack benefit Services...

     

    Recently I got information that Customer Success Story and Insights are not mandatory but recomanded. This is also not reflected in T&C.

    Proposal: separate section in T&C dedicated only to requirements to become/maintain FRP

    Visibility on Fast Track earning potential, account-wise in Partner Center

    Suggested by Pranjal Pant – Completed  – 1 Comments

    We used to have visibility on Fast Track earning potential, account-wise on Partner Center per tenant. Would like to have this functionality back, forecasting right now is quite difficult without the same.

    FRP Partners: ability to self nominate like CSI Security partners

    Suggested by Michiel Gedopt – Completed  – 1 Comments

    We are both a security CSI partner as an FRP Partner for Modern Work. We are getting tremendous returns as CSI Partner where we are able to self-nominate customers for certain security engagement.
    Why isn't there something similar for Modern Work to self-nominate clients that are eligible for a W365 or Teams pilot. the current process is cumbersome and is delaying lead time to execution.

    Lack of visibility into Benefits available to FastTrack customers

    Suggested by Rogerio Molina – Completed  – 0 Comments

    When we claim customers eligible for the FastTrack benefit, we need to fill out a document (SoW), saying what technology we will deliver to this customer, however, as we do not have visibility of the benefits available to the customer, we often make the claim and we later discover that the customer does not have this agreed benefit available. We needed to have a way to research the benefits that the customer has available, so we would be more assertive when offering and engaging the customer to start consuming the technology.

    Incentivize workloads like M365 Copilot, Microsoft Entra ID for FastTrack Partners

    Suggested by Sohong Chakraborty – Completed  – 1 Comments

    As a FastTrack Ready Partner, we would like to see certain workloads like M365 Copilot, Microsoft Entra ID incentivized under the Modern Work & Security Usage Incentive program. We get a plethora of RFAs for these workloads and readily assist the customers. But incentivizing these workloads for this fiscal will lead to more skin in the game for the partners and, justify the time and effort the partners put in to deliver these FastTrack benefits.

    Service Usage in FTOP

    Suggested by Arto Ovaskainen – Completed  – 4 Comments

    Hi team! 
     
    The Service Usage report in FTOP has changed for the worse. It ineligible for the reporting usage. The same workload still repeats many rows for one customer. One workload should be listed only once per customer as it was in the previous version before dashboard update. Please return the previous version when it had enough information available for us partners.

    Thank you!

    Add a team/training on FRP and its offers for Account Managers to know about this

    Suggested by Paula Nunez – Completed  – 2 Comments

    We have encountered several times that Microsoft's account teams have no idea of the vouchers and often think they don't really exist. As partner we have no way of telling them where to ask for information or request the voucher, making it impossible to continue with the program since people's ignorance on the matter is the main stopper.
