If you are not using a 3rd party negotiator for your Microsoft EA, you are throwing away money!
Could Microsoft make licensing any more complicated, probably, and you can bet they will. With their enormous offering of products, and the many options available to purchase them navigating the pricing structure can be a daunting task. If you have 250 seats or more, you should be on an Enterprise Agreement (EA). Learn more about what an EA is by reading the Microsoft page on Volume Licensing – What The Enterprise Agreement Offers.
So now that you’ve decided that an EA could possibly save you money, who do you call? Their are numerous options at your disposal, however, in this case they are far from equal. You see, like anything else you buy Microsoft Licensing is a negotiable commodity. This is where Alliance IT can help. We are the industry expert on negotiating the absolute bottom dollar price for your software needs. Need some further explanation on that claim? How can we be so sure that we are better than anyone else?
1. We have 2 former Microsoft Licensing Specialists on staff reviewing every single EA we process. These guys have spent a combined total of 22 years negotiating every dollar they could get for Microsoft on an Enterprise Agreement and know every single opportunity to save money.
2. Zero up front costs, Zero out of pocket expenses. We simply work on a commission structure based on your net savings. If you don’t have an EA, call and get a quote for your needs. Then let us review the EA and re-negotiate the terms. If you already have an EA, send it to us and let us work our magic. If we don’t save you money, you don’t pay a penny.
3. Industry Experts, in addition to the Licensing Guru’s, we also employ software, hardware, and security experts to assist in decision making. Former IT Directors, DOD consultants, and engineers with a plethora of certifications grace us with their vast knowledge.
How much can you save?
That all depends, but on average allowing us to negotiate the terms of your agreement saves 20-25% over an EA not negotiated by a professional and 5-10% over our competitors. Call us today to see how easy it is.
