Now extended through June 30, 2024!
Microsoft Surface Commercial has expanded channel access to allow all resellers in the United States and Canada to purchase the full Surface for Business portfolio of devices and accessories (excluding Protection Plans) from authorized distributors through June 30, 2024. Resellers are no longer required to become a Surface Authorized Partner in order to sell Surface devices and accessories to customers.
The key goals of the Surface Reseller Expansion Program are to:
-
- Excite new breadth resellers to sell Surface by removing the barrier to entry to sell.
- Recruit and onboard new authorized partners, helping to expand our partner network.
- Enable more customers to realize the value of the full Microsoft stack solution on Surface.
Why Surface?
Microsoft thoughtfully designed and built Surface devices to adapt in versatile ways to how teams work, learn, and create. Flexibility comes in a variety of form factors, putting high-powered productivity at your fingertips—no matter where work happens. World-class security is built in; from chip to cloud, Surface devices are held to the same standard as all Microsoft software and services and work seamlessly with the Microsoft security stack to enable a Zero Trust security model.
Business processes like deployment, management, and scale are optimized for the software experience organizations rely on every day using Microsoft 365. More than a laptop, Surface devices help unlock the potential for people and businesses to achieve more.
Next steps
Now our full Microsoft reseller ecosystem can provide their customers with premium devices and accessories that are the best expression of Windows. To learn more and start purchasing Surface, reach out to your distributor team or contact Microsoft directly at surfacebreadth@microsoft.com.
