Microsoft Expands Scope and Partner Benefits of Security Software Advisor Program

  • Article

We've just announced enhancements to the benefits associated with the Security Software Advisor (SSA) program. My team will be leading the building of this initiative with our partners in Australia over the next few months, so watch this space for more info as it develops. The program is an exciting platform for security partners to gain financial upside from influencing the purchase of security products and solutions.

"Earn Up to 30% In Software Advisor Fees
If you are involved in the recommendation process and serve as the primary Microsoft security product software implementation partner for new or renewal sales of selected Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, Forefront Security for Exchange Server, Forefront Security for SharePoint, or Antigen product SKUs, you may now earn incentive fees for your effort.

Microsoft Security Software Advisors are eligible to earn fees of up to 30% of the estimated retail price (ERP) of each customer's security product Microsoft Volume Licensing order. Eligible pricing levels include Open Value, Select A-D, Academic*, Government, and Enterprise Agreements*.
