Microsoft Enterprise AgreementDesigned for organisations with more than 250 users and/or devices looking to licence 100% of their estate, the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) offers an annual payment that is fixed for a 3-year term on selected products. With the options of either purchasing software licences through Enterprise Agreement Enrolments or Enterprise Subscription programs, a pricing plan can be found to suit your budgetary requirements.
The EA enables you to adapt to changing and different user requirements – so you can add or remove licences when best fits your needs. By enabling the adjustment of licensing as required between traditional and cloud platforms, greater control can be gained to ensure your organisation is running as effectively as possible across all bases.
