Overview

  • Rollout begins in the United States with broader global availability planned in the coming weeks and months.
  • The unified catalog spans cloud solutions, AI apps and task-performing agents, with more than 3,000 listings at launch.
  • Customers purchase through existing Microsoft billing relationships for simpler procurement and deployment.
  • Microsoft forgoes per-sale commissions in favor of a publishing-fee model and revenue from developers’ use of Microsoft cloud services.
  • All listings must pass a Microsoft security and compliance review, with partner solutions surfaced inside Microsoft products and initial distribution partners including Arrow, Crayon, Ingram Micro, Pax8 and TD SYNNEX.
