What’s new in July: Azure Innovate & Azure Migrate and Modernize are built to work together.

Azure Innovate and Azure Migrate and Modernize are built to work together to enable simpler adoption of Azure—the foundation of the Microsoft Cloud. Partners can drive more value with comprehensive resources, extensive coverage across scenarios, and tailored incentives in one easy to navigate hub – so you can deliver better customer experiences. Now there are even bigger opportunities on the horizon with Azure Essentials – foundational guidance and best practices to help you elevate security, reliability, and ongoing performance for cloud and AI workloads.

What’s new: 

A new Innovate with Azure AI Platform scenario for pre-sales and post-sales.
Evolving Build and Modernize AI Apps coverage for additional scenarios.
For ISVs – Build and Modernize AI Apps and Analytics will now support large Pilot/POV engagement types.
We are also launching AI envisioning and Proof of Value support for ISVs, as a part of Azure Innovate partner-led Build and Modernize AI Apps scenarios. Qualified SI partners now have a path to directly nominate ISVs for providing AI Envisioning and Proof of Value (PoV) support. AI envisioning sessions will help software companies define AI use cases, understand best practices, and develop optimal technical approaches with a proof of value/pilot to build AI-powered apps.
Platform level changes and enhancements to improve the partner experience:

MSFT sellers now get visibility of SI post-sales deployments for increased co sell opportunities. 
Updated partner-led governance – Shift from 2:1 to 3:1 for pre-sales to post-sales governance ratio increasing the total pre-sales engagements available to partners to drive deployments. 
Expanded eligibility with Microsoft Certified Software Designations for ISV offers.

Introducing Azure Essentials

Azure Essentials, the newest addition to the Azure portfolio, helps to elevate the reliability, security, and ongoing performance of our customers’ cloud and AI investments. We’ve created it as a response to customer and partner feedback asking for a single place where we provide prescriptive guidance, resources and tooling from Microsoft for deployment of new and existing workloads. Azure Essentials will underpin Azure Migrate and Modernize and Azure Innovate with foundational guidance, reference architectures, best practices, and skilling resources. For partners, this will be the go-to hub to access content and enablement to deliver your own differentiated solutions on core scenarios across the Microsoft Azure solution plays as well as other important topics like resilience and security.
