Navigating Microsoft Licensing

Why Fusion Connect Is Your Trusted CSP Partner

Imagine this: You're leading a growing enterprise, and your IT team approaches you with a pressing concern—your current Microsoft licensing agreement is inflexible, costly, and doesn't align with your evolving business needs. You're not alone; many organizations face this challenge as they scale.

At Fusion Connect, we've guided numerous businesses through the complexities of Microsoft licensing. As a certified Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), we offer the expertise and personalized support to help you make informed decisions that align with your strategic goals.

Understanding Microsoft Licensing Options

Microsoft offers several licensing agreements, each designed for different organizational needs:

  • Enterprise Agreement (EA)
     Suited for large organizations with over 500 users, offering volume discounts but requiring a three-year commitment.
  • Cloud Solution Provider (CSP)
     Ideal for businesses seeking flexibility, with no minimum user requirements and the ability to scale licenses monthly.
  • Microsoft Customer Agreement for Enterprise (MCA-E)
     Similar to CSP in flexibility but managed directly through Microsoft without partner support.
