Cloud 1st, Channel 1st Approach
Server and Cloud Enrolment
In the past, to have an Enterprise Agreement (EA), an organisation had to cover at least 250 Devices or Users for Desktop software and/or Online Services. There was no EA like solution if you just wanted to cover your Server and Application Platforms. To address this Microsoft introduced three new agreements types. These were Enrollment for Application Platform (EAP), Enrollment for Core Infrastructure (ECI), and Enrollment for Windows Azure (EWA). These Enrollments have now been consolidated and replaced with the Server & Cloud Enrollment (SCE). SCE offers programmatic discounts, favourable EA terms, flexible licensing options (mix of subscription and perpetual licensing) and the ability to purchase Azure Cloud Services. SCE is designed with Hybrid Cloud in mind. So whether you’re an End User Customer, an Independent Software Vendor (ISV), or a Managed Services Provider (MSP), the SCE is the ultimate licensing agreement.
