Microsoft® Enterprise Agreement
The Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) is the best licensing program for organizations that want to standardize IT across the enterprise yet retain the flexibility to choose from on-premises and cloud services.
Microsoft Enterprise Agreement programs
The Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) provides you with the best overall pricing based on your organization's size, plus the benefits of Software Assurance and simplified licensing management via your organization-wide volume licensing agreement.
Enterprise Enrollment
The Enterprise Enrollment enhances manageability and cost savings when equipping your entire organization with the latest versions of the Windows operating system, premium Office suite and/or Client Access License (CAL) suites to connect users and devices to Microsoft server products. Moreover, the Enterprise Enrollment lets you choose whether to run PC and device software and/or cloud services across your organization, with the ability to license both on-premises software and online services such as Office 365 and Windows Intune.
You also have the flexibility to maintain a mix of on-premises and online services to suit user needs, and can transition from on-premises licensing to equivalent online services as business priorities change. Such organization-wide implementations help you reduce device and user management and support costs, and provide additional pricing advantages above the EA's standard volume pricing levels.
Enrollment for Windows Azure
Windows Azure is an open and flexible cloud platform that enables you to quickly build, deploy and manage applications across a global network of Microsoft-managed data centers.
Enrollment for Windows Azure lets you subscribe to and manage your Windows Azure services under a single agreement. You choose how you use Windows Azure services, which are sold under consumption-based, per-unit billing models. Volume pricing discounts are available and are based on your annual monetary commitment level.
- One-year and coterminous subcription options**
- Three-year term
- Minimum initial purchase required
- No Software Assurance required
*Windows Azure services may be purchased as Additional Online Services through other enrollments with the same purchase commitments and pricing as with the Enrollment for Windows Azure.
**Coterminous subscription option means you can arrange to have your Enrollment for Windows Azure end at the same time as your other enrollment(s) are scheduled to end.
