Winter’s finally over. Shops and businesses are reopening and scaling up their services. And the weather’s even getting warmer. To celebrate, we’ve summoned Tom Marwood, our Head of Partner Management, to take you through April’s cloud news. Take a look, and get the latest offers, products and policy changes that every CSP needs to know about when talking to their customers.
Take it away, Tom…
Power BI Premium Per User is now available for general use. It’s based on the latest Power BI Premium Gen2 architecture. So that means you get improved performance and lower TCO. If your customers already have a Power BI Pro licence, Per User is available at a much lower price. Check out the full announcement here.
Two commercial offers will be added to the CSP programme perpetual software from July. Get Genuine Windows and Visual Studio Professional. There’ll also be new public sector offers, including for government, education and non-profits. More info here.
No new SKUs, products, or promotions will be added to the Open Licence programme price list until at least July. More info here.
On 21 April, we’re having a special webinar to celebrate the launch of Microsoft Teams with Westcoast Cloud Voice. By integrating the two solutions, we’ve made calls and collaboration even easier for your customers.
In the webinar, we’ll take you through all the sales, support and marketing resources you need to sell Voice and Teams to your customers, including the 60+ nifty collaboration features. You can register here.
We regret that this service is not available in Ireland.
Microsoft Inspire is the biggest CSP event of the year. And it’s taking place online 14-15 July.

Registration opens in June. So keep those dates free in your diary, and we’ll remind you closer to the time.
New Windows Virtual Desktop customers can still get a 30% discount for 90 days on their compute costs for D- and B-Series host pool virtual machines.
