More Enterprise Agreement goodness
As I've detailed a bit, I've been working on a cost justification for an Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft for my company. It has been a long and somewhat arduous process, but I finally feel like we're reaching the end. I found out one major thing today. It will seem obvious after I say it. It might even be common knowledge for most of you.
The EA gets cheaper after the initial three year term. The initial contract is for licenses plus software assurance. Renewals are SA only. I told you it was obvious. I would suggest that any cost computations go at least six years, since the subsequent years are where the real value is.
