October 2023 Newsletter
WELCOME TO THE OCTOBER NEWSLETTER
Happy Spring everyone!
As we head into the final quarter of the calendar year, most of us are probably left wondering where this year has gone and have one eye on the upcoming summer holidays!
However, there is still a lot of business to be done before we wrap for the year and as always at the Microsoft Team at Dicker, we have a busy month ahead of us with a range of partner enablement activities scheduled for this month.
Important News
September 2023 announcements - Partner Center announcements | Microsoft Learn
In July, Microsoft announced that CSP legacy Public Sector offers for Government Community Cloud, education and nonprofit would be available in CSP new commerce in November 2023.
However, they received feedback from partners that making system changes at the end of the calendar year would be difficult.
To avoid business disruption for partners, Microsoft will now launch Public Sector offers in new commerce and begin Microsoft-led migrations of Public Sector offers in calendar year 2024.
