The Bridge to the Cloud 2 campaign from Microsoft is designed to make it easier for customers to switch to the latest cloud version of Dynamics products and save costs in the process;<\/p>\n\n
We’ll explain what the promotion entails, who is eligible, how much you can save on product licenses and more.<\/p>\n\n
Microsoft’s “Bridge to the Cloud 2” (BttC2) campaign is designed to make it easier for current Dynamics customers who operate their systems on-premise to switch to Dynamics 365 online products. BttC2 offers customers the opportunity to purchase discounted cloud licenses through the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program.<\/p>\n\n
Customers who wish to take advantage of this opportunity must do so by December 31, 2024;<\/p>\n\n
You are eligible for the BttC2 promotion if you meet ALL of the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n
Your active Enhancement Plan (EP) or the fees (EG) of your on-premise system are converted into discounted cloud licenses. This gives you full access to Dynamics 365 Business Central Cloud, which you can use in parallel with your current system; Customers who apply for the offer before their renewal date will also benefit from monthly payments instead of a one-off payment for the Enhancement Plan. This makes the switch to Dynamics 365 Business Central Cloud even more attractive.<\/p>\n\n
When switching to the cloud, customers benefit from free concurrent user licenses for high user ratios. They will also receive dual-use rights for the latest version of Dynamics 365 Business Central throughout the promotion;<\/p>\n\n
With Microsoft’s first “Bridge to the Cloud” promotion, which was completed at the end of 2022, only customers with Business Central, NAV, GP and SL were eligible. With “Bridge to the Cloud 2”, however, the promotion applies to all products in the Dynamics product family, including AX, Dynamics 365 for Operations and Dynamics CRM.<\/p>\n\n
The discount offered has been reduced from 60% to 40% and the term is now three years, allowing for greater flexibility.<\/p>\n\n
