Introducing the marketplace value calculator

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: New blog articles in Microsoft Community Hub.

We’re delighted to announce that the marketplace value calculator, on the Marketplace Rewards Toolbox, is now available to use in 13 languages worldwide!

 

What is the marketplace value calculator?

 

The marketplace value calculator is a simple and quick way to see exactly how many direct value benefits, cloud credits, and incentives your business can unlock with the Microsoft commercial marketplace. After plugging in just a few projections, you’ll be able to see (and share with your colleagues) how these benefits, cash, and free products outweigh the small marketplace fees.

 

This will help you, and others at your company, see the costs and benefits associated with building, launching, and selling with Microsoft. This calculator is available to anyone to see if working with Microsoft makes sense.

 

How it works:

 

The calculator, found on the Marketplace Rewards Toolbox here, is simple by design.

 

Start by choosing which benefit your company uses (ISV Success packages) and enter a few pertinent numbers. Clicking calculate will show you a summary snapshot of the total cash, product, and product credit value your business will get, as well as the costs associated with working with Microsoft.

 

Clicking “Read full report” allows you to see a more detailed report that shows year-by-year calculations, including other qualitative benefits with links to learn more about how to qualify and apply.

 

You can easily share this report with other decision makers in your business by selecting “Share” and copying the URL. If you want to change your projections to see how the benefits change, you can recalculate at any time.

What you’ll get when you use the calculator:

 

We believe the data-driven business case of working with Microsoft should be very clear and—with this calculator—we aim to provide clarity with a small time investment. With simple-to-understand costs and benefits, the business case will be clearer, and you’ll have more time to work on your business, not your decision making.

 

We look forward to you using it.
