Microsoft Changes Partner Fee Structure

Microsoft_logo.200x200Here’s some news for other managed service providers: Microsoft has announced that they are reducing partner fees, effective January 25, 2014.

The changes are coming from Microsoft’s top management, rather than the Worldwide Partner Group, halfway through their fiscal year.
