    S2500ではないユーザフォロー (Visibility of non-S2500 customers to MS sales teams)

    Suggested by Chie Kawaguchi Completed  0 Comments

    Translation provided by FPM Tamami Mitani
     

    The FRP would like MS account team to know which FRP are engaged with their customers so that they won’t ask non-FRP partners to support their customers.

    It seems there have been cases where MS Sales introduced non-FRP partners to their users who the FRP claimed CPOR for.

    I think the point is we need to raise FRP awareness internally and provide those kind of information with sales team.

    Also we have to recommend the FRP should reach out account team proactively with utilizing contacts information in FTOP.



    S2500のユーザはSMEやMWAと情報共有等することができています。
    S2500ではないユーザは、SMEやMWAがいません。
    また、S2500ではないユーザは、MS営業はFRPがアサインされているかどうかも知りません。
    そのため、FRP登録したユーザに対して、MS営業がFRP以外のパートナーを紹介するケースが出ています。
    S2500ではないユーザに対してFRPが登録されている情報を、
    貴社営業と共有する仕組みを検討ください。
    FRP登録したメリットがなくなるのは残念です。

    Add Step-up Scenario for XXS to higher Bucket in T&C for FY22

    Suggested by Han Weghorst Rejected  0 Comments

    Hello,

    We have several disputes about having a customer claimed in Bucket size XXS for a POC that is running. At time of claim the AU is over 20%.
    In the current T&C this means a FRP will not be rewarded for supporting the customer achieving milestones in higher bucket sizes after additional licenses were purchased.

    In this scenario the FRP is spending time to support the customer but will not get paid on this. This seems illogical and not fair.

    Would like other FRP experiencing similar issues to like this idea, so MSFT Program Owners can update the T&C to become eligible for the effort spend.

    FastTrack Referrals Criteria

    Suggested by Han Weghorst Completed  2 Comments

    We love the focus on referrals for OneDrive for Business, but we received some regular FastTrack Referrals that should be Non Incentive Referrals instead.

    As example: we received a regular referral for a customer in size Extra Small for ODFB. We already deployed SharePoint Online, so there would be no incentive for this left. The customer was asking for file migration to ODFB, but the customer is not eligible for the Migration Benefit.

    We would like to understand why the RFA Gateway is approving such RFA and send this as regular referral. We understand that some areas around RFAs/Non-Incentive RFAs are a little cloudy woul dlike to have documentation that outlines and confirms the conditions that a RFA must meet, in order to be considered as a Request for Assistance, as opposed to a Non-Incentive Referral.

    So two questions:
    1. Are there any other FRP's facing this unclear situation?
    2. Could MSFT share documentation that outlines and confirms the RFA conditions?

    Can we eliminate need for Intune and EXO claims to earn EOM incentive?

    Suggested by Dave Steeves Completed  4 Comments

    With the goal of EOM to have MAM policies in use, can we eliminate the need for Intune and Exchange claims.  The effort to get a client to implement MAM is above and beyond Intune or EXO and requires additional focused effort.  In many cases we may not have claims for EXO or Intune with a client. For example, when we migrated to CPOR under our new FPM's guidance we didn't migrate any Exchange claims past 40% so as it is, there is no gain to us to pursue EOM with those clients.  Another example is we have clients that had an initial FRP and our now working with us.  While they have passed 40% in Intune, they are not using MAM.  My ask is to simplify this claim so we can focus on having a MAM policy put in place.  Why does it need to include the other claims which already have payouts.  Can we just be paid for meeting the EOM requirements without the other claims?

    What are recent mandatory requirements to maintain FastTrack Ready Partner

    Suggested by Tereza Špecinger Accepted  1 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 Accepted  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 Needs Votes  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.

    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!
