Trophies for participants in the Community like in XBOX
Suggested by Jeremy Deschner – Needs Votes – 1 Comments
My suggestion is to start having community trophies like they have in XBOX. Currently we have FRP badges, but nothing that recognizes our contribution to the FRP community.My idea would look like this;1. A person submits 10 Ideas they get an Idea Bronze Trophy on their profile2. One of their ideas is accepted and put into practice they get a Silver Trophy.So on and so forth. What this does is it encourages people to participate in the community and recognizes the superstars! Plus it's a bragging right and it is fun to collect loot if you're a gamer or an engineer in the Microsoft Universe. -
Less Paperwork for the MW Deployment Offer
Suggested by Jami Styx – Completed – 1 Comments
For the MW Deployment Offer is there a way to consolidate the paperwork? Right now, partners must enter (copy & paste) some of the customer information 4 times (voucher #, entity name, tenant ID, email etc.)
For example:
1) I generate info into the initial SOW
2) Then I have to submit the initial SOW into the portal. The portal requires that I enter the voucher #, customer name and tenant ID # that is already in the SOW. Additionally, I have to populate the Program Membership, why can’t it just auto populate? I only have one program?
3) Then I copy and paste the same information from the SOW over to POE
4) Then for the 4th time I required to re-enter information (voucher #, entity name, tenant ID, email etc.) into portal coping and pasting the info again from the SOW and POE for final submissions.
A lot of coping and pasting of the same information over and over.
Is there any way this can flow into Partner Center (PC) where it can be more automated like other program such as AMM or the MCI offers. Yes, we may have to submit the initial information, but the tool would allow us to add information such as voucher #, entity name, tenant ID, email & load SOW initially to a claim. Then when engagements is completed, like other programs such as AMM and MCI it allows partners to send consent emails (directly from PC) as POE which would be great replacement for the final POE document. -

Suggested by Eric Fugère – Needs Votes – 1 Comments
When a client has Fasttrack vouchers earned via renewals or other means and they're associated to partner could we have a field in FTOP or Partner indicating so? -
Add Statement to "Notice of FastTrack Assignment" Emails to Customers
Suggested by Oscar Goco – Needs Votes – 1 Comments
After a partner accepts the customer referral, a "Notice of FastTrack Assignment" email is sent to customer that has the partner's name, email address and domain name.Please add a statement in the Notice of FastTrack Assignment email to include the partner's domain name to the customer's Safe Sender list or Allow list.This will prevent the email sent from the partner to the customer from being quarantined or delivered into the customer's Junk folder and thus the customer never sees the email.I have several customer not receive my emails and had to get my FRM involved to contact either the Microsoft account member of customer to add my email to their Allow list.With heightened email security, some customer email systems are filtering emails and mistakenly being flagged as spam or phishing. -
Active user consumption control rules (MAU)
Suggested by Rogerio Molina – Needs Votes – 2 Comments
Active user consumption control rules (MAU) that end up creating difficulties for us to work with customers. Unfortunately, due to various situations that are beyond our control, many customers reduce their consumption or even stop using the solutions. The problem is that we have had big problems with this, as our numbers end up being hugely negative.
This ends up creating difficulties for us to remain active in Microsoft programs.
