“Activates” engagements from Microsoft Premier Services are on-site engagements that includes training on the technology in question, as well as jumpstart guidance to help customers move forward with an initiative. The goal is to pass on knowledge to customer’s staff so they can move forward on their own.
Each Activates offering is generally a 3-5 days long on-site engagement led by a Premier Field Engineer and requires 5 days of “SAB Planning Services”. This is the only scenario I know of where SAB Planning Services may be used for Premier offerings.
Contact your Premier TAM for more information on how to take advantage of your SAB Planning Services benefits with “Activates” offerings.
