Hi there, we have been using Marketing Cloud Engagement for a while. We are keen to move to Marketing Cloud Engagement+ so we can start using Marketing Cloud Next functionality. Our SF Sales reps have suggested for a while that we should use Engagement+, and have said that we will need the new SKUs added to our contract, however, it is taking a very long time to identify the SKUs to add to the contract.
Has anyone gained access to Engagement+ yet? How long did it take? Do you know which SKUs were involved for Engagement+? Is there n extra charge for gaining access to Engagement+, or is it really just and upgrade?
FYI We have been using Data Cloud for 18+ months, so we are confident with DC360.

Your Salesforce AE should be on top of which SKUs are to be included here, as this can change quite frequently. The bottom line is, the MCE+ SKU is free of charge, but only includes very basic consumption. Once you start ingesting data to Data 360, running identity resolutions and unifications, as well as segmentations, the cost can quickly go up. So it is important to move slowly, and keep an eye on your Digital Wallet in Data 360, which gives you an insight about how many credits you are spending.
It is always a good idea to purchase these flex credits beforehand, as you will otherwise be paying a premium price due to overage.
