Benefits

Software Assurance benefits support your organisation's performance across the software lifecycle by providing better budget predictability and by helping lower operating expenses and increase productivity.

Plan
Managing and controlling costs are always top priorities. Software Assurance's New Version Rights benefit ensures you'll have access to the latest versions of Microsoft software, while the Spread Payment benefit reduces initial outlay and assists with budget planning over the term of the agreement

Deploy
Help reduce the cost and complexity of deployment. Work with us to create a deployment plan to help your organisation evolve a more secure, well-managed and cost-effective desktop or server environment that supports organisational agility

Use
Position your organisation and people to help maximise your technology investment in order to create, manage and drive business growth. eLearning benefits, Home Use Program, Cold Backups for Disaster Recovery and access to the Windows Vista operating system and Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack can help optimise business performance

Maintain
Business-critical incidents don't always occur between 9am and 5pm. Software Assurance provides comprehensive support coverage, including 24x7 phone support, Web support during business hours and access to TechNet Subscription through Software Assurance

Transition
If your business runs legacy software or hardware, or needs more than just mainstream product support, Software Assurance has you covered with benefits such as Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs and Extended Hotfix Support
