What Is CSP (Cloud Solution Provider)?
CSP (Cloud Solution Provider) is Microsoft's program model that lets partners resell, provision, manage and bill Microsoft cloud services for their customers. It runs in two forms: direct-bill (the partner transacts directly with Microsoft, subject to eligibility thresholds) and indirect (a reseller transacts through an indirect provider or distributor).
It matters because CSP is the primary resale motion through which Microsoft's commercial incentives are earned, and the direct-bill model carries revenue thresholds that affect eligibility.
