The Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program offers businesses an easy way to purchase and manage their Microsoft cloud services. It allows businesses to work with a partner who can provide support and guidance when it comes to managing their Microsoft cloud environment. As Microsoft continues to expand its range of cloud solutions, it has updated its Customer Agreement to reflect these changes.
The updated Microsoft CSP Customer Agreement was launched in September 2019. It applies to all customers who purchase Microsoft cloud services through the CSP program. The main purpose of the agreement is to provide clear terms and conditions for customers to understand what they are agreeing to when they sign up for Microsoft cloud services through a CSP partner.
One of the main changes to the agreement is the introduction of terms that apply specifically to the use of Microsoft Azure services. These terms cover a range of topics, including security, data privacy, and compliance with regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA. They also outline the customer’s responsibilities when it comes to configuring and securing their Azure environment.
Another significant change is the introduction of a new section dedicated to Microsoft Dynamics 365. This section covers topics such as data protection, privacy, and compliance when using Dynamics 365 applications. It also provides guidelines for customers to follow when configuring and managing their Dynamics 365 environment.
The agreement also includes terms related to Microsoft Office 365, including privacy, security, and compliance. Additionally, it outlines the customer’s responsibilities when it comes to managing user accounts, accessing data stored in Office 365, and complying with applicable laws and regulations.
Overall, the updated Microsoft CSP Customer Agreement provides businesses with greater clarity when it comes to using Microsoft cloud services. It ensures that customers are aware of their responsibilities when it comes to managing their cloud environment and complying with regulations. By working with a CSP partner, businesses can benefit from in-depth knowledge and support to help them manage their Microsoft cloud environment effectively.
