No it is a real offering from Nero Blanco, and we believe it is the first time that an offer like this has ever been made by anyone other than Microsoft themselves. The reason we can make this offer is that Microsoft reward partners for getting people to Office 365, and rather than just take these incentives but charge you the same we want to pass on those savings to you to create a mutually beneficial relationship.
So what is included in the free offer and what is additional?
This service is intended for those wanting to try out Office 365, or who have decided that they do want to go to Office 365 but don’t really know where to start.
This service is intended for those that have already set up their Office 365 tenant, and are now looking to migrate over to use the tenant and migrate pre-existing data.
This service is intended for those who are using Office 365 but want a trusted adviser to call on when needed.
Of course there is always a catch I hear you say, and yes there is but it is a very small one. Microsoft allow you to name one partner as the Digital Partner of Record, and for the above offer you need to make Nero Blanco your Digital Partner of Record for a minimum of 3 years. There is no cost to you for doing so, and the steps for assigning us Digital Partner of Record is explained in more detail in this previous post
If you want us to also support your on premises infrastructure like AAD Connect, Exchange Hybrid and Active Directory Federation Services then we will need a form of remote access in order to be able to log into those servers as and when needed.
