FAQs regarding Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC)
What is Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC)?
The Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) is a program that allows Azure customers to commit to a certain level of cloud spend over time in exchange for discounted rates and added value. It also enables the use of third-party solutions—like Coneksion—via the Azure Marketplace, counting toward that commitment.
What is MS Azure Marketplace?
The Azure Marketplace is an online market for buying and selling cloud solutions certified to run on Azure. The Azure Marketplace helps connect companies seeking innovative, cloud-based solutions with partners who have developed ready-to-use solutions.
How do I know if my organization relies on MACC?
There are two ways to learn if your organization relies on MACC - send us a request, and our team will check it directly from Microsoft on your behalf, or you can contact the IT department of your organization. Usually, they know if you are part of the MACC program or not
How can I check the remaining balance of my organization’s MACC?
To access this data, you must sign into the Marketplace experience within the Azure portal under a tenant associated with your organization.
What happens with my company's MACC balance if we do not utilize it fully before a new invoicing period?
This commitment is a “use it or lose it” deal. Thus, getting any credit or rolling the leftover budget to the next period is impossible. This means it will be wasted in the case of underspending the budget.
Can an organization leverage its remaining commitment to purchasing Azure-eligible solutions?
Absolutely! To avoid wasting the remaining amount of Azure Spend, organizations can purchase third-party Azure Eligible solutions like coneksion®.
