Beyond training: Evaluation opportunities in your Enterprise Agreement
The Enterprise Agreement doesn’t limit itself to training benefits. It also provides a generous provision for evaluation purposes. Enrolled Affiliates can use up to 10 free copies of random products during a 60-day evaluation period. This gives decision-makers ample time to assess the functionality, compatibility, and alignment with organizational needs of the products.
This provision is your organization’s ticket to informed decision-making. It allows you to explore the full potential of Microsoft products before making a commitment, ensuring your investments seamlessly align with your business objectives.
Backup options in the Enterprise Agreement
Data security is paramount in the digital age, and your Enterprise Agreement recognizes this.
