Azure Plans Cost Management Dashboard

Current and historical data for the Azure plan subscription can help manage costs when analyzing usage and costs over time to identify trends. Trends are then used to forecast future spendings. In this release we are excited to introduce in our Storefront the Cost Management dashboard where we display all the Azure Plan's usages (current and previous consumption) as well as forecasts, by utilizing filters and groups.

Cost Management Dashboard Insights

  • View of historic data up to one year ago.

  • View of consumption data for the current month with forecast for the remaining period.

  • The prices displayed to your customers and resellers are in the currency you bill them and include your Azure plan markup or margin.

  • Data visualization with daily or monthly granularity using bar and pie charts.

  • Ability to group the data per resource, location. meter, resource group and resource guid.

  • Ability to export your data in an excel file.

  • PEC information is available per resource to your indirect resellers.

  • Resource group tags are included in the exported data.

Display in Storefront the Prices in Transaction Currency

For customers or resellers that are billed in different currency than the one you are using for displaying your prices in your Storefront, we added a toggle in product detail page for checking the prices in their transaction currency. The prices are calculates using the FX rate you have defined in your BSS.

Checking for Availability of Customer’s Domain Prefix

In this release we have introduced a new checking mechanism for the availability of customer’s domain prefix. We conduct an audit against the domain prefix , to determine whether it is already used by another Tenant under a different CSP, so as to prevent the failure of the Account's creation under the Microsoft Partner Center. If this domain prefix already exists in Microsoft under a different CSP,  the following message will be displayed:

The Account will not fail but it will remain unsynced and you can either proceed with authorization or add a new domain and retry, as per the message's instructions. This check is available for both Storefront and BSS.
