What is Microsoft’s New Commerce Experience (NCE)

Microsoft’s Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program is continuously evolving, putting partners at the center of the SMB customer digital transformation to ensure customers and partners have an optimal experience. Starting January 2022, Microsoft will bring this purchase motion to seat-based offers like Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Power Platform and Windows 365. These offer types are being added to Microsoft’s new commerce platform, with new functionalities, capabilities, and policies that differ from the legacy CSP provisioning platform.

The New Commerce Experience provides partners in the CSP program with new sales capabilities and new tools to manage subscriptions more easily and promotes long-term customer commitment with multiple term options. Once it’s fully launched, it will enable faster, simpler transactions.

Cancellation & Suspension Management

You as a CSP and your resellers or customers can view the cancellation window for every active subscription and cancel a subscription or a specific number of seats within 7 days. Suspension and re-activation are also supported by the interworks.cloud platform to reduce the risk of financial exposure for the CSP.
