Deployment Voucher Utilization
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. -
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...
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. -
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. -

Add a team/training on FRP and its offers for Account Managers to know about this
Suggested by Priscilla Ballestero – 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. -
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. -
