Microsoft Software + Services Incubation Center Program
The Microsoft Incubation Center Program is designed to ease the commercial, financial, and technical challenges ISVs encounter while adding a service-based delivery application to their product offerings. Microsoft has established global facilities with a set of Gold Certified Partners in application hosting to guide ISVs through a structured series of business and architectural consulting sessions to ensure their business model and applications are ready for service-based delivery
What are the benefits of the Microsoft Software + Services Incubation Center Program?
The following are some of the benefits of the program:
- Business Development: An online-based, monthly recurring revenue model requires new business practices for traditional ISVs. Incubation Centers offer customized consulting services focused on sales and marketing for service-based delivery, including considerations such as developing sales channels and sales compensation plans, exploring new distribution models, and optimizing the Web storefront.
- Technical Design Services: Application and infrastructure design sessions provide ISVs assistance in architecting a new or existing application for Web-based delivery, addressing key issues such as multi-tenancy, monitoring and reporting, and provisioning.
- Reliable and Secure Hosting Infrastructure: All Software + Services Incubation Center Program partners have deployed the Microsoft Solution for Windows-based Hosting for Applications platform, a robust, scalable infrastructure that equips ISVs with the tools and guidance to design service-enabled software applications and facilitate user provisioning, performance monitoring, and usage tracking and reporting.
- Special Licensing Pricing: Eligible ISVs can participate in the Microsoft Software + Services On-Ramp Program through hosting providers and take advantage of discounted licensing for up to twelve months.
