Insider Partner Spotlight: TechHouse IT
Congratulations to our February 2017 partner in the spotlight, TechHouse!
TechHouse is a Gold Small and Mid-market solution partner who has been
active with the C2PC program over the last two years. This IT consulting
company serves customers covering areas from the East to the West regions
of the United States.
TechHouse started moving customers to Office 365 during the BPOS days
some years ago. TechHouse has extended this cloud practice to include
Azure. We have moved our customers’ guest operating systems as well as
physical servers to Azure’s Platform as a Service. We have used Azure Service
entities such as Azure SQL for hosting customer web applications leveraging
knockout js, angular js and .net webapi solutions. Enterprise Mobility +
Security has really sparked the imagination of our customers who are working
hard to manage control to content in the cloud via Azure AD Premium.
We use Azure AD connect for customers wanting a hybrid environment e.g.
connecting on prem AD with Exchange 365. Simple sign on via Azure AD
helps to keep everyone’s password synced.

Important End Of Support Dates Coming up:
*For specific Premier customers that require more time to complete their transitions off Exchange Server 2007, a 6-month support extension may be requested*. During this extension, customers may receive security and time zone definition updates for
Exchange Server 2007 at no additional cost. Premier Account teams must submit a request for the 6-month extension via a special sign-up process. This support extension should only be offered if the customer requires additional time (reactive only), the
customer is active on a Premier contract, has existing Exchange Server 2007 deployments , has an upgrade plan in place to move to either Exchange Online or a supported version of Exchange on-premises. Additional details regarding the sign-up process for
the 6-month support extension period will be available in advance of Exchange Server 2017 End of life, but in the interim, please direct questions to the following alias: CSAops.
**Over the next 12 months, all customers will be transitioned to the Office 2016 version of Office 365 ProPlus. Customers have the option of deploying either the 2016 version or the 2013 version.
Why move off of Exchange Server 2007? Why move to O365?
• No feature enhancements
• No security updates
• No support for newer hardware
• Difficult to integrate with new enterprise applications
• Not compatible with modern Outlook clients/browsers
• Cloud-based solution
• Compatible with new devices & apps
• Improved security
• Better compliance capabilities
• Guaranteed 99.9% uptime
• Easier to recover

Azure Technical Support Benefits
Accessing Azure technical support is now possible using your Product Support Incidents that are
included with your competency or Microsoft Action Pack subscription. Note these used to be only for
on-premises solutions, but can now be used with Azure as well! If you are a Gold competency partner you
have access to 20 product support incidents, Silver has 15, and Action Pack subscription gains you 10. See
full details of the technical benefits here: Microsoft Partner Network technical benefits summary.
There is a very important step that is required to be able to open an Azure support ticket using a Product
Support Incident benefit, and that is to obtain your Access ID and Contract ID from the Microsoft Partner
Network team. These two items can be obtained by calling into the MPN Support team at
1.800.MPN.SOLVe (1.800.676.7658); when calling in ask for Technical Support via the new voice
prompt. When connected let the tech know you are looking to use your Product Support Incidents benefit
for Azure but need your Access ID and Contract ID. Note that this information is not available on your
MPN Dashboard portal at this time, so only way to obtain them is via the phone.
