Microsoft
Whether building your own cloud or reselling Microsoft public cloud resources, rhipe partners benefit from our economies of scale and deep domain knowledge across the full Microsoft solution array.
Expertise for a cloud-powered world
rhipe has been a Microsoft partner and distributor since the day we opened our doors. We were the first cloud-dedicated distributor in the region, the first Microsoft SPLA partner in Singapore, are one of the few LSPs in the region and one of the first two Microsoft CSP 2-tier distributors in Australia.
Our unparalleled expertise in Microsoft cloud solutions has helped hundreds of partners to migrate their traditional I.T. channel customers from on-premises software infrastructure to cloud computing business models with subscription-based plans.
Whether building your own cloud to provide managed services for your end customers or reselling Microsoft public cloud resources through rhipe, you benefit from our economies of scale and deep domain knowledge across the full Microsoft solution array.
Partners can also work with our Services team to supplement their own capabilities. rhipe provides a range of migration, implementation, project management, marketing and contract support services that help partners to generate leads, bid for new business, manage capacity shortages or cover certification gaps.
By leveraging rhipe and our longstanding status as Microsoft’s primary regional cloud distributor, you can offer full cloud offerings and move your customers from private to hybrid and public cloud at your own pace.

The New Azure Plan will streamline and improve the way partners buy and consume Azure services on behalf of customers. It gives rhipe CSP (Cloud Solution Provider Program) partners a consistent view of Azure pricing across sales motions, USD pricing for global consistency, billing date alignment to calendar month and access to Azure Cost Management through CSP.
Requirements
Please note there are two actions that Microsoft requires before the customer tenant can be moved to the New Azure Plan:
- Partners must have signed the new Microsoft Partner Agreement (MPA)
- Customers must have signed the Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCuA)
Azure product pricing is now consistently consumed in USD across the globe. Countries billed in a local currency will continue to be billed in the same currency as before. In countries without local currency billing, they will continue to be billed in USD.
Example: Australian providers will consume Azure in USD and be billed by rhipe in AUD. The exchange rate for USD to AUD will be based on Microsoft’s published Exchange rate.
The standard CSP discount from Microsoft is replaced by Partner Earned Credit (PEC) in the New Azure Plan. With the New Azure Plan, Azure Cost Management is now available for partners and customers within the Azure Portal.
For further information please refer to the Microsoft announcement here.
The new Azure Plan replaces the existing commerce platform with an enhanced platform. It is easier to navigate as it streamlines partner and customer requirements. It introduces pricing consistency across channels and adds additional capabilities like Azure Cost Management and Azure Lighthouse to the CSP channel model. Customers who may need visibility into Azure usage pricing can get this enabled through Azure Cost Management in the new platform.
Microsoft will retire the current commerce platform in near future. All customer tenants and subscriptions are expected to transition to the new commerce platform at the earliest.
As a partner, you receive a consolidated view of both Azure resources and any third-party marketplace applications as part of the same invoice and reconciliation file from rhipe.
Microsoft is also working to transition Microsoft 365 subscriptions onto the new commerce platform in the near future to provide the same streamlined experience.
Microsoft Power Platform offers a point-and-click approach which makes it easy for anyone familiar with Microsoft Office to create custom business solutions, data visualisations, and automated workflows. It enables users to do three key actions on data that help them drive business:
- Gain insights from data (Analyze)
- Drive intelligent business processes via apps they build (Act)
- Automate business processes (Automate).
Power Apps is a suite of applications, services, connectors, and data platforms that provide a rapid application development environment to build custom apps. Using Power Apps, partners and their customers can quickly build custom business apps that connect to business data stored either in the underlying data platform (Microsoft Dataverse) or in various online and on-premises data sources such as SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, SQL Server, etc.
Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn your unrelated sources of data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights. Your data may be an Excel spreadsheet or a collection of cloud-based and on-premises hybrid data warehouses. Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualise and discover what’s important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want
