Delivered by registered FY12 Windows Azure Circle Partners, Planning Services are structured consulting engagements designed to help customers understand the Microsoft Public Cloud offering and what Windows Azure offers to their business.

The very useful Customer Propsentiy Tool can be used to narrow down the lead list to a highly targeted list by using filters such as region, industry, likelihood to buy (Azure propensity), and the data shows how many planning days the customer has available for PS. Partners should always communicate to customers that they are registered AZDPS Providers. Prior to an engagement a partner must register to be a Planning Services Provider.

11. Let’s dive a bit deeper into the different sales scenarios previously mentioned now that we have an understanding of exactly what Discovery Pack offering is which is the new offer on this chart and a great opportunity.1. A sales motion can begin with the sale of Discovery Pack. The three day consulting engagement (which mirrors that found in the 3 day engagement of AZDPS) is included in this offer. A Partner can determine with a customer if they have additional SA benefits and can encourage them to extend their engagement by adding on the 5 or 10 day Planning Service engagement. This would allow a deeper assessment of applications to deploy onto Windows Azure. Windows Azure can be added to an Enterprise Agreement at the end of the Discovery Pack offering. 2. A sales motion can begin with Windows Azure being added to an Enterprise Agreement. This will provide SA benefits that can be utilized for AZDPS 3, 5 or 10 day engagements. A way to increase Windows Azure usage is to add additional applications to be deployed and run on Windows Azure. 3. A sales motion can begin with the utilization of Software Assurance benefits towards AZDPS engagements.

A way to increase Windows Azure usage is to add additional applications to be deployed and run on Windows Azure.
