Software Assurance
Software Assurance Offering with Volume Licensing
Software Assurance is an offering available with Microsoft Volume Licensing programs that helps you get the most from your software by providing greater value, assistance, and manageability. With Software Assurance, you can access training and deployment resources that enable employees to work more efficiently than ever. Software Assurance also allows your organization to acquire the right to use tomorrow's technology at today's prices, and allows you to spread payments annually instead of paying up front in one lump sum. Organizations with Software Assurance coverage are eligible to use new versions of the covered software that are made available during their term of coverage.
Software Assurance Benefits
Software Assurance helps organizations get the most from Microsoft software through key benefits that can help save time and money while increasing productivity. Depending on the type of Volume Licensing program, the benefits include:
- Easier budgeting through annual payments. By spreading payments annually, you can lock in your license price and plan your software budget up to three years in advance.
- Efficient deployment and administration. Training and tools included with Software Assurance make it easier for IT professionals to deploy and administer new software versions, updates, and other content across desktops and servers.
- Improved productivity through training and support. Software Assurance not only provides employees with the latest software, it also offers training and support so they can take advantage of the most innovative technology.
- Expanded work options at home. With Software Assurance, employees can work from home by getting a licensed copy of Microsoft Office to install and use on a home computer.
