I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the exciting developments coming to our Microsoft commercial marketplace ecosystem. Our recent partner roadmap presentation, available to Microsoft partners here, outlines our vision for the future and also reflects on the impactful features we've recently introduced.



Recent Launches: Empowering Partners Today

Our teams are committed to continuous improvement to ensure that the marketplace is the most partner-focused business platform. Here are just a few of the new capabilities highlighted in the roadmap this quarter:



  1. Professional Services: We've introduced the ability to bundle software and services directly in the marketplace, allowing customers to access complete solutions for implementing and maximizing their technology investments. Learn more.
  2. Multiparty Private Offers: This feature has expanded options for customer purchasing, allowing for more flexible deal structures. Review this short video and this overview article to learn more.
  3. Business Central Offer Type: ISV partners can now sell their Business Central apps through the Cloud Solution Provider channel on the marketplace, broadening their reach. ISVs can learn how to create a D365 Business Central offer here.
  4. AI-Enhanced Discovery: We've introduced new filters to help customers easily find Copilot-compatible Teams apps. Check it out on AppSource.

These items are just some of our recent roadmap capabilities already making a significant impact, streamlining processes, and opening new opportunities for our partners.



Looking to the Future

While we can't divulge all the details (you'll need to watch the full presentation for that!), our roadmap is focused on four key areas:



  1. Enhancing transaction and deal-making capabilities
  2. Improving financial management and procurement
  3. Evolving the solution discovery experience
  4. Expanding AI integration across the marketplace



Each of these areas is designed to address the evolving needs of both our partners and customers in a dynamic digital marketplace. Underpinning all these innovations is our unwavering commitment to trust and security; as part of our Secure Future Initiative, we're doubling down on proactive threat detection, advanced data protection, and rapid response capabilities.
