Your Azure credits just increased

As announced at WPC last year we’re working to lower the cost of doing business with us and investing more in your success. Many of our Azure cloud partners told us that the monthly Azure credit is restrictive, and asked for more internal use rights to help with the sales process. Based on this input, we’re pleased to let you know that you are eligible for a limited time offer to increase Azure access through a Sponsored Credit benefit as part of your membership in the Cloud Platform Competency.<br/>
Silver/Gold Cloud Platform partners can request for additional Total Azure IUR Credit (Silver CP at US$3000 and Gold CP at US$5000) to use from now through July 31, 2015.
