Transition from Azure PAYG to CSP
March 5, 2026 ·
Are your customers still paying for Azure with a credit card, billed directly to Microsoft?
They may be exposed to management risks—and you could be missing out on valuable margins and incentives. Direct billing requires customers to manage all aspects of their subscription, including provisioning, billing, and compliance, without the benefit of a partner’s expertise or automation. With Microsoft’s latest changes, now is the perfect time to move from PAYG to CSP and unlock recurring revenue for your business.
WHY PAYG to CSP?
- Unlock Recurring Revenue: Transform one-off transactions into steady, predictable income streams with CSP’s monthly billing model.
- Boost Margins and Incentives: Access exclusive Microsoft partner incentives and higher margins unavailable with direct PAYG billing.
- Deliver Value-Added Services: Bundle your managed services, support, and solutions with Microsoft licensing for a complete offering that drives customer loyalty
- Streamlined Provisioning and Centralised Management: Simplified provisioning and management for you and your customers.
