Software Subscriptions page for organizations

Cloudmore continues to enhance the ways you can see and manage subscriptions on the platform.

We’ve added a new ‘Software subscriptions’ page where you can see a full list and details of your organizations' software subscriptions. The page is located under the Microsoft Azure and Software service on the organization level and includes the following functionality:

View and get a report of all the organization’s software subscriptions
Cancel the subscriptions that are not needed
When clicking on the “Refresh” button, if syncing the data from Microsoft takes more than 15 seconds, the page will be unblocked, and sync will continue in the background. Once completed, you will be notified and prompted to reload the browser page to see the latest subscription info.

Please note that the page is currently available only on the Organisation level, but will later be added to the Broker level, too, so you can get aggregated reports and easily manage multiple organisations' data.

Price fields to all subscriptions exports

Until today, we’ve had detailed subscription price information on the subscriptions export on Organization level.

To allow for more high level operations and overview of current prices, we have added several fields to the CSP Subscriptions export on Broker level. The new fields are:

Unit Sales Price
Price Level
Total Sales Price
Difference from Recommended Price

This allows you to have a clear overview of all the active subscriptions across all your customers in one export.

Furthermore, the “Difference from Recommended Price” shows you how much discount have you given to the customer. The formula to calculate this is:

[Total MSRP (at the time of creation)] - [Total Sales Price]

So, it’s important to note that we are comparing the current subscription’s total sales price to the MSRP that was active at the time of creating the subscription (when the price was locked in), not with the current MSRP. This is important for annual subscriptions with monthly billing cycles.

To summarize:

if you see a negative number there, the customer is paying less than MSRP
if you see a positive number there, the customer is paying more than MSRP

Product Group details in API

You can now fetch the NCE Product Group information directly through the product and subscription API endpoints. This update is particularly beneficial for the customers who depend on API integrations. Now, you can access comprehensive details that were previously available only via the platform's user interface.

The “productGroup“: “string“ response parameter is available with the following GET endpoints:
- /api/resellers/{resellerId}/organizations/{organizationId}/services/csp/nce/subscriptions
- /api/resellers/{resellerId}/organizations/{organizationId}/services/csp/nce/subscriptions/{id}
- /api/resellers/{resellerId}/organizations/{organizationId}/services/csp/nce/products
- /api/resellers/{resellerId}/services/csp/nce/products
- /api/resellers//services/csp/nce/subscriptions
The “productGroup” value should be coming from the group of the product or itemCode. Some of the sample values include:
- NCE - Microsoft Entra ID
- NCE - Dynamics 365
- NCE - Microsoft 365
- NCE - Microsoft Teams
- NCE - Office 365
- NCE - Windows
- Others

Security improvements & clean-up

To make the platform more clean, concise and faster, we’ve removed some unused functionality.

Removed the Microsoft Legacy Exchange service
Removed the unused Coupons page from Brokers
Improved security by patching security vulnerabilities
Improved file security by using secure HTTPS link for subscriptions export
