Enterprise Agreements

An Enterprise Agreement may be the right choice for you if:

• Your organisation has 250 or more PCs
• You want to standardise your company on Microsoft products

How does it work?
The Enterprise Agreements last for three years, and you pay a fixed price per PC, based on the number of PCs covered and the Microsoft platform products you choose. The cost of your product licences is split equally over the three years and you pay annually. You may also consider an Enterprise Subscription Agreement, which offers lower annual payments and the flexibility to accommodate PC increases or decreases across your organisation.

With an Enterprise Agreement, you choose to install one or more of these Microsoft platform products on your PCs:

• Microsoft Office Professional
• Microsoft Windows Professional upgrade
• Core Client Access Licence (CAL) for Windows Server, Exchange Server, Systems Management Server, SharePoint Portal Server

If you choose to install all the Microsoft platform products, you'll get a further discount. Additional Microsoft products may also be included under the same agreement.

Existing licensing agreements
If you work for a large organisation, please check to see if a Microsoft licensing agreement already exists - if so, it may cover your needs and even offer extra benefits. Your IT department or local reseller will be pleased to advise you.

How can an Enterprise Agreement help you?
The Enterprise Agreement is a simple, easy-to-manage, agreement for large organisations looking to standardise the software on all their PCs. With costs split annually over the period of the agreement, and access to the latest versions during the agreement, it's a popular choice for IT and finance decision-makers.

Benefits include:

• Lower total cost of ownership and improved productivity, by standardising on Microsoft software for all PCs across your organisation
• The option of renewing your agreement for one or three years, so you can build more products into your organisation at the same discount
• Significant discount based upon the number of qualifying devices you have, plus price protection for additional products
• Permanent eligibility for latest upgrades, through Software Assurance, for all products enrolled under your agreement. Software Assurance also offers major productivity resources, support, tools and training benefits.
