Here are some key points about the Microsoft
Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program

• The Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program allows
  partners to directly provision, manage, and
  support their customer subscriptions for
  Microsoft cloud services like Microsoft 365,
  Azure, Dynamics 365, and more. Partners in the
  CSP program are the primary customer lifecycle
  partners.
• Key benefits of the CSP program for partners
• Owning the End-to-End Customer Lifecycle CSP
  partners own the end-to-end customer lifecycle
  from sale to provisioning to ongoing support and
  management. This allows them to directly control
  and drive cloud consumption.

• 2. Recurring Revenue Opportunities Partners can
  package their own tools, services, and apps along
  with Microsoft cloud subscriptions to create
  recurring revenue streams and increase
  profitability.
• 3. Differentiated Service Offerings CSPs can
  differentiate their offerings by bundling
  value-added services like managed services,
  custom line-of-business apps, consulting, etc.
• 4. Technical Support CSPs get access to dedicated
  partner support teams and resources from
  Microsoft to better support their customers.

CSP Business Model

• The CSP business model allows Microsoft Dynamics
  365 partners to directly provision, manage, and
  support Microsoft cloud services like Microsoft
  365, Azure, and Dynamics 365 on behalf of their
  customers. Instead of customers purchasing
  licenses directly from Microsoft, the CSP serves
  as the solutions provider and resells Microsoft
  cloud subscriptions packaged with their own
  value-added services and support. This gives CSPs
  full ownership of the end-to-end customer
  lifecycle while enabling them to bundle Microsoft
  cloud offerings into custom solutions and
  recurring revenue streams. The CSP business model
  facilitates a closer, more strategic relationship
  between partners and customers around driving
  cloud adoption and optimization.
