Microsoft AI Partner Innovate, Brisbane, April 16 | Content now available
Hi everyone, I'm happy to share the content from the "Microsoft AI Partner Innovate" run in Brisbane on April 16. You'll find 3 files here - one for each key segment - early morning, late morning, and after lunch. Again it was so good to catchup with the partners, share learnings, gain insights and enjoy chatting about work and life. I look forward to coming back to Brisbane, the Gold Coast and other parts of Queensland in the near future to help innovate further around Microsoft 365, the Copilots, Business Applications and Azure. Regards, PhilMicrosoft AI Partner Innovate, Sydney, April 4 | Content available here
Thanks for attending the Microsoft AI Partner Innovate event in Sydney on April 4. It was an absolute pleasure to see so many enthusiastic partners networking, learning, asking questions and getting ready to help their customers with adoption of Microsoft Copilot and AI. Again the discussion with a partner, Chuong of Fuse Technology in this case, was popular with attendees. And the security section by Jordan was really insightful and appreciated. Please consider what Emma covered in the Tech for Social Impact [ TSI ] segment and all the value presented in the GTM and Sales Excellence sessions. The slides from the day are here. Regards, Phil on behalf of the Microsoft team and Sponsors
Account Verification - MS Partner Centre
I am attempting to sign up with Microsoft as a MS Partner (Which I have done in the past for several other organisations, and until now, never had an issue). I have submitted a support case with case number 2305300010001219. Error message: Our system has indicated multiple failed attempts from your account. We are unable to proceed with your Account Verification. What can I do to get verified?
MAPS Excessive Price Increase
I just renewed my MAPS subscription. As a background I'm a one person organisation. For many years the price was A$440 inc GST. This year, the price was over A$710 inc GST. Which is a price increase of over 75%. I was told this was because now all pricing is based on USD so I'm paying the equivalent of US$400, and that it's not a price increase. I'm posting this to raise my objection to the exhorbitant price increase, and find out if other people have also been similarly effected.Episode 152 of Microsoft Cloud and Hosting Partner Online Meeting
