Make the switch to Azure — and get paid to do it.
As cloud costs rise and support shrinks, clients are rethinking where they host their infrastructure. That’s your cue. For IT resellers and MSPs, Azure migrations are no longer a nice-to-have — they’re your next major growth play.
And the kicker? Microsoft is offering upfront funding, rebates, and migration support to make it happen.
Whether you’ve migrated before or not, now’s the time to help your clients leave AWS and Google behind — and bring them into a smarter, more cost-effective ecosystem with Microsoft Azure.
Businesses locked into AWS or Google often face:
- Inflexible billing and overprovisioned resources
- Fragmented tools across security, identity, and collaboration
- Limited local support
With Microsoft Azure, they get:
- Predictable pricing and usage-based billing
- Seamless integration with Microsoft 365, Teams, and Defender
- Local expertise and support from partners like you
The Migration Incentive That Pays You to Act
Microsoft is rewarding partners for migrating their clients to Azure — and it’s not small change.
Here’s what you could unlock:
- $4,000 upfront per qualified migration (>$1,500/month environment)
- Up to 26% in Azure CSP rebates
- $100K+ in post-sales incentives for Migrate & Modernise engagements
Have clients already spending on cloud or on-prem environments? You’re halfway there.
What’s In It for You (the Partner)?
- New Service Revenue
- Offer migration as a service, with bundled audits, assessments, and consulting.
- Recurring Revenue
- Tie Azure usage to long-term service agreements, managed billing, and support plans.
- Stickier Clients
- Help your customers centralise their cloud, licensing, and productivity stack — all under Microsoft.
