What is Software Assurance?

 Software Assurance provides an easy way for Microsoft′s volume licensing customers to stay current with the latest and most innovative Microsoft products. Under the SA program, customers acquire the right to install any new release products covered in the agreement during the term of their coverage.

Essentially, companies can acquire tomorrows technology at today′s prices and have the ability to spread payments annually rather than upfront.

A significant benefit of the Software Assurance Program (SA) is the availability of FREE training vouchers, which can be exchanged for a comprehensive range of certified Microsoft training, which address the Installing, Implementing and Support of Microsoft products. This in itself offers considerable value to you and each of these SA days is currently valued at $550.

To qualify for the FREE training, Advanced Training will support you to make sure that you receive your entitlement to free training vouchers. If you are unaware of the benefits of Microsoft Software Assurance, Advanced Training will be happy to assist you to calculate your organisations benefits.
