A Microsoft investment designed to accelerate qualified customer adoption.
ECIF may support approved partner-delivered services associated with eligible Microsoft cloud adoption opportunities. Engagements are coordinated with the relevant Microsoft account or field team and are governed by an approved scope, Statement of Work, milestones, and execution evidence.
Where a focused pilot can prove value.
Six steps from opportunity to production roadmap.
Clarify the business problem, target users, Microsoft workload, executive sponsorship, and expected outcome.
Evaluate whether the initiative is a focused, measurable Microsoft adoption opportunity worth discussing with the account team.
Define the use case, architecture, deliverables, timeline, responsibilities, success measures, and production path.
Work with the relevant Microsoft field or account team on nomination, programme requirements, scope review, and approval.
Deliver the approved scope with defined milestones, technical governance, documentation, and customer collaboration.
Validate the outcome, document findings, define next steps, and prepare the roadmap for production adoption and scale.
A few questions to shape the conversation.
This explorer never determines eligibility. It helps frame a discussion with Wai and, where appropriate, your 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.
The business problem, Microsoft workload, target users, expected cloud adoption, executive sponsor, success criteria, approximate timeline, and intended production path.
Timing depends on opportunity readiness, Microsoft review, available funding, contracting, and approval. No fixed approval time is promised.
