In the press release announcing the availability of the Porsche 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition in Malaysia, Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP) revealed that Malaysia will soon have its first Porsche Classic Partner Centre. It will be in JB, opening end 2021.
“Porsche Centre Johor Bahru will be the first Classic Partner Centre in Malaysia and is scheduled for launch at the end of this year. This will further enhance the customer experience where Porschephiles can now refurbish and upkeep their classic Porsches at this new facility,” said Christopher Hunter, CEO of SDAP.
A Porsche Classic Partner Centre is a regular Porsche dealership that has been provided with additional support and training, which qualifies it to work on classic and vintage Porsche models. With access to a catalogue of 52,000 original spare parts for old models (plus newly developed items), these centres can handle repairs, maintenance and even overhauls.
Two new advanced specialisations for Microsoft Azure, a revamped Partner Centre portal experience and reduced commercial marketplace agency fees are among the biggest announcements for solution providers this week at Microsoft’s Inspire 2021 partner conference.
Held virtually for the second year in a row, Inspire comes as Microsoft has continued to report strong growth across its Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and security businesses with more than 95 percent of the company’s commercial revenue continuing to be “influenced” directly or indirectly by partners. Microsoft now reports having more than 400,000 partners in its network.
