Would a second set of eyes on your Microsoft licensing – one that can give you recommendations on how to simplify your SKUs and save money at the same time – be helpful?

Microsoft offers some of the world's most advanced technology solutions, but there's a lot that can go wrong when licensing Microsoft products. Maybe you're using one SKU when you should be using another – or maybe the SKU you should be using is one you've never heard of.

Whatever the case may be, an expert Microsoft CSP like CloudServus makes it possible to take charge of your out-of-control licensing.

Your Options for Microsoft Licensing

 

Many organizations purchase their licensing directly through Microsoft, not realizing that other options exist. However, Microsoft offers a number of avenues for licensing its products:

Direct Licensing

 

If you purchase licenses directly from Microsoft, you’re paying retail rates – often the highest rates out there. You’ll also pay extra for Premier Support (basic support tickets are included) and will have to navigate Microsoft’s complex billing and invoicing practices to understand what you’re being billed for.

Cloud Solutions Providers (CSP)

 

A Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider like CloudServus can answer your questions and offer practical guidance on the Microsoft ecosystem. Even better, they may be able to save you money by optimizing your existing approach to licensing or accessing additional discounts over traditional retail or Enterprise Agreement pricing.

Enterprise Agreements

 

Though Microsoft’s Enterprise Agreements were previously the tech giant’s deepest discounted purchasing vehicle, they may no longer be cost-effective for many organizations. They can also be restrictive and require three-year commitments and upfront/annual billing.
