What does it mean for my Organisation?
a. We are an existing Microsoft Enterprise Agreement Customer
If you are an eligible Public Sector organisation with an existing Microsoft Enterprise Agreement in place, you will continue to be licensed under that agreement and the terms of that agreement until expiry. Upon expiry of that agreement (prior to 30th April 2024), you will renew under the new MOU (DTA 21) and be eligible for the special pricing and terms set out under this arrangement.
b. We don’t currently have an Enterprise Agreement in place
