MS Sales Requirements

We ran into an interesting twist of being Office 365 partner today. Comes down to timeing.
When becoming a sales partner for the Office 365 program, the organization is granted 250 seats free licenses for internal use. Super stuff!
There is though a condition to this, one has to sell at least 50 licenses in one year to keep these free licenses. Fair enough.
However, the twist is that the “one year” doesn’t have anything to do when signing up for the program. It is associated with the organizations MOSPA agreement.
So we went through all the steps to become Office 365 partners and completed that January 20. However our MOSPA is up for renewal April 30. So we have about three months to fulfill the requirement rather than the announced one year.
So, if your organization is into these programs, don’t just run into them and try to get started as early as possible. Sometimes it is better to not be an early adopter. J
