Microsoft moved “infrastructure software” to the cloud: Azure was born. because that would be the day that all partners finally have embraced the cloud-first-strategy.īecause, let’s be honest, not all partners have really been listening and acting on Microsoft’s “cloud-first” approach, have they? It’s not like it hasn’t been obvious though: The best day for them would be that they don’t have to invoice anyone for this at all. Microsoft absolutely does not want to let you pay for doing your business. I look at it the way that Microsoft tries to motivate you for doing the “right” thing, for following their strategy. Is that being “punished”? I don’t look at it that way. If you will only do Onprem business, and you don’t register your apps on AppSource: yes, you’re going to have to pay a fee. Wait … fees? What? Are we being “punished” for selling OnPrem only? You don’t have this cloud first mindset? Then it might happen that you’re going to have to pay fees. 
You don’t need it on AppSource but only OnPrem? Still, put it on AppSource, in order for you to be able to implement it OnPrem. Do you have a product? Put it on AppSource. So, for Microsoft, it basically comes down to convince/force/… the ISV mindset to be cloud first. 
The BaseApp will have a cloud first mentality: and so should you. The Power-“fluff” (I should be calling it different, I know – but that area is still too grey for me -)), the azure stuff, … and so.much.more. on top of that, you get the ability of all those extra services that come with the cloud. I mean – first of all: all baseapp features will work in the “cloud first” (get it? 😜) and OnPrem “if you’re lucky”. It shouldn’t be necessary to explain how many advantages there are in the cloud version of BC. Well, sometimes also the word “author” is used – but anyway. Why? Well, the word “publisher” is typically used for anyone that puts apps in the cloud on a marketplace. What the name indicates for me is that there is clearly an “AppSource first” strategy. Much more… Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Publisher program Well, you might have seen the announcement from Microsoft ( ) – Microsoft comes with a new program which replaces the “Registered Solution Program (RSP)” and the “Certified for Microsoft Dynamics (CfMD)” program.
in short: quite some questions on anything product registration and the obligations and/or restrictions that come with it.
With my new app, I don’t want to go to AppSource just yet – but first OnPrem – what do I do?. App range? RSP range? What the hell is the difference?. Do I still need to go through the CfMD program to certify my apps?. I only have OnPrem business – and I want to create a new product. The last couple of months, there has been quite some questions from ISVs (and especially the “old” ISV’s) on how to register their apps in their specific situations.
