Microsoft UK Public Sector - Licensing - PSA09 Introductory offers

The new Public Sector Agreement (PSA09) offers the public sector the best value for money from Microsoft to help meet the new and changing requirements of locally delivered public services.

Microsoft has a range of offers for customers purchasing under PSA09 terms and conditions that are available to all eligible public sector organisations. These offers are particularly valuable at a time when public sector organisations are required to manage performance within budget and deliver greater cost-saving efficiency in their operations.

Microsoft customers can choose to purchase an Enterprise Subscription Agreement at a lower price than an Enterprise Agreement.

Microsoft is increasing the discount available to PSA09 public sector customers by a further 16% on top of the standard discounts available under the terms of the new Public Sector Agreement.

This additional discount is exclusively available for customers purchasing under PSA09 until December 31st 2009.

To find out more, please contact your Microsoft business manager or licensing reseller for confirmation of the Enterprise Subscription Agreement additional discount prices available until December 31st 2009.

The Home Use Programme (HUP) gives employees of Microsoft Enterprise Agreement customers the opportunity to license copies of Microsoft Office for use on their home computer at a nominal cost (approx. £6.27 per employee to cover shipping and handling when you place a single order on behalf of your employees for at least 20 licences). HUP is just one of the benefits of Microsoft Software Assurance that you receive with your Enterprise Agreement.

Details of the Home Use Programme are available on the Microsoft Volume Licensing Services site. All Microsoft customers with Software Assurance have access to this site.

For more information on how best to apply PSA09 to the needs of your particular organisation, contact Buying Solutions, your Microsoft business manager or Microsoft reseller.
