The objective is to help organizations evaluate, adopt, deploy, and scale Microsoft technologies through structured pilot engagements and proof-of-value initiatives.

A few questions to shape the conversation.
A few questions to guide the conversation.
This assessment does not determine eligibility or funding approval. It simply helps identify pilot opportunities that may warrant discussion with Wai and, where appropriate, the relevant Microsoft account team.
Which Microsoft workload is involved?
Common questions, answered plainly.
No. Microsoft determines eligibility, nomination, available funding, approved scope, and final approval for each opportunity.
No. The website begins a pilot-fit discussion. ECIF opportunities are coordinated with the relevant Microsoft field or account team.
No. Approved sponsorship may relate only to defined partner-delivered activities within the approved Statement of Work. Cloud consumption, licences, travel, customer resources, and work outside the approved scope may remain the customer's responsibility.
Wai helps clarify the opportunity, define the pilot, prepare the technical scope, coordinate with Microsoft stakeholders, deliver the approved engagement, and create the production roadmap.
