Many customers are unaware of Microsoft funding, meaning they will probably pay full price for your Microsoft technologies and licenses. Working with an experienced Microsoft licensing Partner may be able to help you reduce your software investment by leveraging appropriate discounts and volume licensing pricing tiers. Working with an expert Microsoft Partner at the top of their game, however, can take you to a new level, uncovering ways to fund your Microsoft technology usage in ways you probably never knew existed.
In this short guide, we lift the lid of some of the lesser-known Microsoft funding programs that can help you adopt the latest and greatest Microsoft technologies at a lower cost to your organization.
Specifically, we’ll help you understand the three programs most likely to be useful to you:
1. Partner Investment Engine (PIE)
2. Azure Migration and Modernization Program (AAMP)
3. Solutions Assessments
The good news is that these funding options can often be applied to SHI services, even if you’re already using them, including cloud migration and optimization, proof of concept deployments and educational workshops.
Some of the funding options highlighted in this guide are only available through Microsoft Partners who have earned the highest levels of Microsoft certifications. Thanks to SHI’s commitment to Microsoft’s Modern Work and Infrastructure technologies, we hold both the organizational and individual professional certifications necessary to unlock the widest range of funding options.
