Microsoft Sentinel Accelerator
A post-sales engagement measured by outcomes: deeper Sentinel adoption, with success defined by sustained monthly ingestion.
What this is
A post-sales consumption engagement designed to help partners drive value for existing customers by deepening Sentinel adoption. Emphasises strengthening SecOps practices, analytics, automation and governance to deliver measurable security outcomes. Success is defined by customers surpassing 1,500 GB total in a given calendar month of Sentinel usage and maintaining stability.
What you leave with
- Stronger SecOps practice: analytics, automation and governance in Sentinel
- Sentinel usage surpassing 1,500 GB in a calendar month and holding stable
Who qualifies
Your commitment
- Decisions to onboard further data sources and automation; Sentinel ingestion is billed by Microsoft to you
- Partner and customer surveys that Microsoft uses to determine eligibility
How we run it
- A baseline of what you use today, taken before anything changes, so both sides know what growth would even mean.
- Onboarding further workloads or data sources, one decision at a time, each with its own effect on your Microsoft bill stated before it happens.
- Microsoft measures the growth by telemetry. There is no report for us to write and no way for us to flatter the number.
- The partner and customer surveys Microsoft uses to settle eligibility at the end of the period.
In and out
In the funded scope
- Stronger SecOps practice: analytics, automation and governance in Sentinel
- Sentinel usage surpassing 1,500 GB in a calendar month and holding stable
Not in it
- Your Microsoft consumption. Ingestion and usage are billed to you by Microsoft, and they go up as adoption goes up — that is the arrangement, not a surprise.
- Remediation. The engagement finds and explains; fixing what it finds is a separate engagement, quoted at our normal fixed price.
- Any promise about the number. We can onboard the workloads; whether telemetry crosses Microsoft's threshold depends on your estate, and we will say up front when we think it will not.
The funding, plainly
Microsoft describes this incentive as a co-investment that is not intended to cover the full cost of deployment activities. In practice, Microsoft pays us for a defined portion of this engagement; your commitment is the time and access listed above, plus any fee we state in writing before work begins. We never state Microsoft's funding amount: it varies by customer band and programme period, and quoting it would be guessing. If the programme window closes while your request is in flight, we tell you and requote the same work at our normal fixed price.
Asked before booking
Does Microsoft pay for all of it?
No. Microsoft describes the incentive as a co-investment that is not intended to cover the full cost of deployment activities. Microsoft pays us for a defined portion; your side is the time, access and any fee we state in writing before work begins.
What happens if usage does not grow enough?
Microsoft pays us nothing and you keep the work that was done. That risk sits with us, which is why we tell you before we start when we think the threshold is out of reach for your estate.
What if we do not qualify?
We say so and quote the same work at our normal fixed price. The eligibility check itself costs you nothing but the conversation.
