FPC Program Ideas/Suggestions

Dear Team,

I share my feedback about the recent announcement on Yammer regarding Microsoft Viva incentives for FRP.

I believe eligilbity criteria are too restrictive for customer and thus FRP to assit their customers; In particular the 150 Viva Insights licenses requirement to be eligible to the Microsoft Connections incentive whereas Connections is the only Viva module fully included in existing Office 365 plans.

Among our 115 FastTrack customers, none (to my knowledge) purchase any of Microsoft Viva paid modules today so these new Viva FRP incentives don't create any new partner opportunity for us.
Despites, we're assisting some customers within FastTrack benefits to deploy and adopt Viva Connections module and features of Viva Learning and Viva Insights which are included in Office 365 plans and don't require to purchase the add-on license.

Hi! I would suggest to organize and structure FTP Yammer community little bit more as I found it hard to search and find important information. Every day is some new information and post and it's impossible to find what is important to you, if you don't spend every day on Yammer. Maybe make segmentation of topics as: News; FTP office Hours, FT campaigns etc .. Just to distinguish a little bit more topics from one another to enable partners to find information that are relevant to them more quicker.

Translation: When checking utilization in services Usage in FTOP, the PAU is displayed as 0 for some customers and the correct usage status cannot be confirmed.
We would like you to cure this event because we want to support you after correctly grasping the current situation of customers.

Within Power BI - Unclaimed and Milestone Opportunity tab can you please add customers TPID?

I would like to bring up some perspective about the Deployment Voucher Offer that I think it is important to have as Microsoft work on the T&Cs as well as a definition of customer eligibility. Since the guidelines mention Commercial customers, I wanted to suggest that it should include government customers too. Let me try to explain why. We have served several customers last year with the deployment vouchers, taking them from not having the licenses to full utilization of the acquired licenses (the primary example of that would be X customer - ~7,000 seats). And we continue on engaged with this customer working on advancing them even more with Azure workloads. Now, the following opportunities are in the pipeline for E5: • Y customer (19,000 users) • Z customer l (4,000 users) • L customer (800 users) These customers are in Brazil, and they are government agencies. The challenge is that they have a long and bureaucratic process for running an RFP, they are now in the process of making the license acquisitions, but it can take them months, and in some cases years to run another RFP for services. There had been cases where they have purchased licenses and never implemented anything until the licensing contract was already expired. The Deployment Offer had allowed us to jump in right after the acquisition of the licenses and ensure that these licenses were going to be deployed and utilized. Which in turn helps to justify the ROI of the investment they have made at Microsoft and improves Microsoft’s position at renewal time. The Microsoft Account Team we are working within Brazil includes Luciano Lourenço, Fábio Gaspar, and Andre Toledo. Please, feel free to reach out to them if you would like, they will probably have a lot more customers on the radar than the ones I am sharing with you. And the Deployment offer might actually be the justification these government organizations might find to make a license acquisition sooner rather than later. We are looking forward to hearing back from you!

Hi All,

We are seeing a lot of customer where automatic enrolment of Intune devices via AD are increasing usage for the workload meaning we arent eligible for the incentive & the customer isn't actively using the workload.

Would there every be the opportunity for an incentive to be reinstated for a scenario like the below when a partner isnt eligible for the incentive on below but the customer clearly isnt using the workload at all?

Its frustrating for us as the customer its really needing support and it’s another one with no incentive for us!
 

Hi Team, There’s an Excel Feature that some customer and myself would like access to within Azure / Excel if possible. It’s called Power Fx and allows us to use Microsoft’s GPT3 within our Excel Desk App and I believe within Teams as well. What do we require in order to use it? ----- https://blogs.microsoft.com/ai/from-conversation-to-code-microsoft-introduces-its-first-product-features-powered-by-gpt-3/ With new features powered by GPT-3, Microsoft Power Apps users can describe a programming goal in conversational language and have it automatically transformed into Power Fx code.

※以降、下記と表現します。
>FTOP Task Details<：①
>Microsoft 365 Specialty Partner Community<：②

これまでPlaybookは①で探していました。
しかし①のドキュメントは、今後は②に集約していくと認識しています。

①にあった資料の"タスク番号"を②で検索しても資料が見つかりません。
推奨の探し方、もしくは今後も①で資料を確認すべきなのか知りたいです。

また、英語版資料がローカライズされたタイミングや既存資料が更新されたタイミングで、Heads upで全ての資料が周知されるようになっているでしょうか？
もしくは、>Playbook Task Reference List<で今後も確認していくのがいいのでしょうか？

I think that FastTrack should include the Microsoft Viva Connections, Insights, Topics and Learning as workloads within CPOR association. Is there a forecast date when this update will be made?

I would like to request for further information on customer feedback.

1. What will be the subject and sender's e-mail address?
2. Will it be sent only in English?
3. For example, if the customer exceed 15% on three workloads at once, will three emails be sent?
4. If the WL already above 15% at the time of CPOR registration, will the survey not be sent?

Thank you.
