The rise of CSP
The Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) programme is Microsoft’s most flexible licensing model, designed to meet the dynamic needs of cloud computing. The CSP model is cloud-focused, partner-driven, and offers pay-as-you-go options.
Microsoft is strategically shifting away from the traditional Enterprise Agreement (EA), making the more agile and cloud-focused CSP and the Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) the future standards for enterprise licensing.
Benefits from migrating to CSP
To move to CSP, organisations should partner with experienced providers like Devoteam, who can offer guidance on license optimisation, cost management, and the technical implementation of cloud services, ensuring a smooth and beneficial transition to a pay-as-you-go model.
Regulatory compliance (GDPR)
Compliance is a critical aspect of Microsoft licensing. Organisations should ensure that they have the necessary licenses for all their software deployments and that they are using the software within the terms of their agreement. Regular audits and consultations with licensing experts can help maintain compliance. Plus, companies should follow all the necessary regulations like the European GDPR.
Licensing costs optimisation
Effective cost management involves optimising licenses and staying compliant with Microsoft’s licensing terms. Devoteam offers its customers a complete package, guiding them through the transfer and providing advice on their licenses. Thanks to the expertise of our established Microsoft team, we are dedicated to maximising the value of licensing.
