Cloud adoption continues to increase rapidly, yielding an enormous migration and modernization opportunity as organizations continue their digital transformation. Migration alone is one of our greatest near-term opportunities to help customers meet their business goals. Many customers are looking to shift large parts of their IT spending to the cloud with infrastructure as a service (IaaS) seeing the biggest increase.  

As customers migrate and modernize, they are not just looking for technology; they’re looking for trusted partners to help them navigate cloud complexities and opportunities. They need an expert to help them navigate these tough issues as they move toward hybrid, multi-cloud and edge environments, facing new complexities and opportunities. 

Designed with both partners and customers at the center, the Azure Migration and Modernization Program (AMMP) is our hero program to help accelerate execution of engagements to migrate and modernize to the cloud. AMMP has helped 1000s of customers successfully unlock the benefits of cloud with the right mix of expert help and best practices at each step. In addition to providing skilling and step by step guidance, AMMP also provides offers and incentives to help offset transition costs as customers migrate.   

In a nutshell, AMMP helps customers move with confidence with the right mix of skilling and resources to facilitate migration and modernization. 

Now available: Azure Migration and Modernization Program (AMMP) Partner-led  

We are excited to announce the launch of AMMP Partner-led, which provides an easy way for Azure Expert MSP and partners with an Azure specialization (currently called Azure advanced specializations) to nominate customers for migrating and modernizing through AMMP. This release is exciting for both Microsoft and our Azure partners with specializations as we scale to meet the increasing demand from our customers. Here’s what’s new:  

  • Nominate customer engagements directly. Now partners can nominate directly and access investments to help accelerate customer migration and modernization engagements.  
  • Faster approval via standardized offers. AMMP Partner-led uses pre-determined offer sizes to expedite approval times and enable agility and scale. 
  • Self-serve dashboard to nominate and track. Partners can now nominate aligned customers into AMMP through Microsoft Commerce Incentives (MCI). A self-serve dashboard provides partners the ability to track approval status and get paid upon engagement completion.
