Partner opportunity
This promotion presents a great opportunity for partners to engage with new and existing customers that are looking for a cloud-based productivity and collaboration solution to help digitally transform their business. Show customers how Microsoft 365 E3 will enable them to save costs, increase security confidence, and simplify endpoint management.
Target audience:
- New-to-Microsoft-365 customers. This promotion creates immediate value by providing cost savings and expanded product value for organizations new to Microsoft or existing Microsoft customers transitioning from Microsoft on-premises software to Microsoft 365 E3.
- Existing Microsoft cloud customers with no Microsoft 365 E3 purchase history. Partners should primarily target customers with the following use scenarios:
- Office 365 E3 customers
- Office 365 E1 customers
- Customers that have multiple M365 offers in use, but not Microsoft 365 E3, and are ready to consolidate to Microsoft 365 E3
We encourage you to consider both customer audiences as they build plans for communicating this promotion with new and existing customers.
