Microsoft Enterprise Licensing Guide

Microsoft Enterprise Licensing Guide

Microsoft’s first foray into the enterprise cloud is represented by the business solutions offered by Microsoft 365 Enterprise. The adaptability, mobility, and security that this platform provides are all contained within a single platform. Businesses now have the flexibility to take mail and manage it “on-the-go”.  This is thanks to Microsoft 365 Enterprise, which has freed them from the constraints of traditional “on-premise” technology. All of the capabilities of Exchange Server are utilized by M365 Enterprise. This then combines those capabilities with those of Microsoft’s Exchange Web Services. Despite the fact that these two platforms have been integrated for a considerable amount of time, they are now integrated on a far deeper level with this software cloud solution.

Enterprise Agreements

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access are all examples of apps that are part of the Microsoft suite, which is well known worldwide. Customers have the option of purchasing these products singly or as a suite, and then using them on a “per computer” basis. After the program has been installed, the company will be the owner of the software and will receive frequent updates from Microsoft. These upgrades will include updates to new features as well as patches for security vulnerabilities that are released weekly. It would normally be quite expensive for an organization to purchase a bundle of these licenses if they paid the regular MSRP. Because of this, the price will be high if the firm is of a significant size. This is the point at which businesses would make use of the “bulk discount” that Microsoft offers in the context of an Enterprise Agreement.

Types of Agreements

Examples of such are an EA or EAS, which stands for Enterprise Subscription Agreement. An SCE, which stands for a Server and Cloud Enrollment agreement, is an agreement that is created whenever there are servers involved. Lastly, there is the EES, which stands for Enrollment for Education Solutions agreement.  All EA, EAS, EES, and SCE agreements require 500 licenses or more.  Before the introduction of Microsoft CSP, Enterprise solutions were conducted in this manner. Technology Solutions Worldwide is a Microsoft Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP). We provide pricing that is quite competitive in comparison to those of EA, EAS, and SCE.

Our company is the only cloud service provider that guarantees a savings of 30 to 40 percent on all Microsoft licensing. This includes the provision of reduced Open Value Agreements. Furthermore, our cost is guaranteed for up to two annual renewals, which is a significant advantage. If you want to get even greater reductions, you can sign a three-year annual agreement for an additional fifteen percent discount.

Cost Effectiveness

At a fraction of the cost through Technology Solutions Worldwide, M365 Enterprise now includes the complete Microsoft Security software suite. This is a significant improvement over previous versions. Our price is lower than the market price, and it can be installed on as many as five machines for each individual user. This indicates that a single installation of the program can be used up to five times on five different computers.

Similarly, this installation can be done at the same time without causing any licensing difficulties to arise. Once the corporate solution has been installed, it will automatically accept updates once the administrator has given permission for them to do so. Additionally, any new versions that are released will be immediately loaded without any additional cost attached.

As is the case with the majority of Microsoft’s products, the product comes with a variation of levels that are accessible depending on the license that is acquired.
