BREP to CSP
Description
As a response to many customers cash-flow struggles because of COVID-19, Microsoft has communicated a way to make the annual enhancement plan payment more accessible – by transferring it to CSP and into monthly payments. For you as a partner, this announcement naturally means a lot of questions and need for clarifications.
QBS is here for you – and we’re working tirelessly to un-mystify any unclarities that arise. We keep all our partners informed via our Yammer platform, our newsletter and our monthly webcasts – as well as stand ready to assist via our Service Desk portal. We have developed additional guiding materials (guide and calculator) – all to make it as easy and painless for our partners to proceed with this offer.
The offer details:
From June 1, 2020, active customers can renew their Enhancement Plan (EP) through the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program and receive online licenses.
- A series of Dynamics 365 Business Central promotional SKUs discounted at 60% will be available from 1st June 2020
- The duration of this promotion will be 1st June 2020 to 30th June 2021
- Customers on a current Enhancement Plan can move their annual Enhancement Plan from a one-off annual payment to X12 monthly payments via CSP. The total amount at the end of the 12 monthly payment will be the equivalent to the annual BREP value
- The standard margin for Dynamics 365 ERP purchased on CSP will apply
- 12 months after accepting the EP to CSP offer, the customer will then have the option to revert to an annual payment for BREP or extend the offer for up to 24 months before fully transitioning to the Cloud
A number of customers may have decided to NOT renew their BREP between 1st January – 31st May 2020 due to cash flow challenges caused by COVID – this is the solution for them!
