Additionally, the service will only be available from Microsoft-field nominated customers that meet the following requirements:
The goal of this project is to accelerate customers who have decided to move apps and services to Azure for a significant line of business process. To help make the “fast” part of FastTrack a reality, Microsoft will provide up to a $15,000 incentive to use with partners to help offset the cost incurred while transitioning to the cloud.
For Microsoft, Azure’s success is critical to the long-term stability of the company. Seeing as they are now offering special services to company’s that are transitioning services greater than $60,000 in annual expenses, it makes you wonder why this offering took so long to materialize.
