When organizations sign commercial agreements with Microsoft, they often include a Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC). In simple terms, this is a pledge to spend a set amount on Azure over one to three years. It ensures predictable cloud spend for Microsoft and, in return, can unlock better pricing and incentives for the customer.
What many teams don’t realize is that MACC funds aren’t limited to Microsoft’s own infrastructure services. They can also be used to buy trusted third-party solutions through the Azure Marketplace. That means budget you’ve already committed can be applied directly to solutions like Red Sift OnDMARC, a 5-star rated app that helps organizations stop phishing, protect domains, and keep legitimate email flowing.
From commitment to action
Because MACC funds are pre-allocated, purchases made through the Azure Marketplace don’t require new approvals. They’re simply offset against your existing commitment. This streamlines procurement: security teams can act quickly to reduce risk, while finance and procurement teams ensure the organization gets maximum value from its Microsoft deal.
With OnDMARC available in the Azure Marketplace, applying credits is simple. You can strengthen domain protection immediately—without waiting for new funding cycles or vendor onboarding.
Why credits go unused
Despite the benefits, many organizations overlook their MACC. Often, only procurement or IT leaders are aware of the details, meaning credits can sit idle until year-end when they risk expiring unused.
If you’re unsure whether your organization has MACC funds in place, check internally or speak with your Microsoft account team. Microsoft even provides guidance on how to track MACC consumption—you may find there’s budget already set aside that could be applied to strengthening security.
Strengthening email security with MACC
Applying MACC credits to OnDMARC is one of the fastest ways to address email impersonation—still one of the most common attack vectors. Attackers exploit unsecured domains to launch phishing campaigns, putting employees, customers, and partners at risk.
With OnDMARC, organizations can:
- Stop phishing and spoofing attacks at the source
- Improve deliverability of legitimate email
- Accelerate DMARC deployment with guided workflows and automation
What is the Azure Marketplace?
The Azure Marketplace is Microsoft’s catalog of certified solutions from both Microsoft and trusted partners. It enables organizations to find, purchase, and deploy solutions through their existing Azure agreement—and for those with a MACC, it’s the easiest way to make sure every dollar of committed spend is put to work.
