Microsoft Products and Services Agreement
Commercial, Government and Academic organizations with 500 or more users or devices
The Microsoft Products and Services Agreement is a single agreement for transactional purchases of Online
Services, software, and Software Assurance (an optional purchase) across an organization. Organizations can
save time and money by combining points from purchases organization-wide
for the best price level, reducing
the administrative overhead associated with managing multiple agreements. Suited for organizations with 500
or more users
or devices, the MPSA is the best option for transactional purchases of Software and Online
Services.
With the Microsoft Products and Services Agreement,
an organization
gets:
•
A single agreement with integrated purchasing for software, Software Assurance, and Online Services. The
organization
decides how and when they license Software and Online Services across their organization.
•
More flexible purchasing options with Purchasing Accounts to establish a custom purchasing structure, so
an organization
has greater control of how to purchase.
•
The flexibility to choose a mix of software and Online Services and combine those purchases for the best
possible discount.
•
The ability to provision and subscribe to Microsoft Online Services for any number of users as needed, so
an
organization
can flexibly and gradually migrate users and applications to the cloud.
•
The option to purchase Software Assurance which includes unique technologies, services and use rights to
help organizations deploy, manage, and use Microsoft products more efficiently.
•
Access to the self-service Microsoft Business Center that consolidates purchases into a single view, making it
easier to manage assets.
The agreement
The Microsoft Products and Services Agreement is the foundational agreement that consolidates common
terms and conditions from standard contracts into a single, non-expiring agreement for all organizations. The
Microsoft Products
and Services Agreement
allows multiple “account types,”
such as commercial, academic,
and government, to exist under a single agreement.
By consolidating licensing into a single, non-expiring agreement, organizations
can save time and resources
spent on purchasing and asset management. The simplified agreement also shortens
agreement processing
times, so they can get started using products and services faster.
