Changes to the FastTrack Community
This article addresses the principal changes in the FastTrack Program from all previous years to FY24. It is now required that all FastTrack Partner Community (FPC) members must sign the FastTrack Partner Community T&Cs and if invited, accept to opt-in to being a FastTrack Ready Partner.
All FPC members must have endorsements to deliver specific Microsoft workloads and will receive referrals from Microsoft.
