Simplicity and manageability

With a customisable platform and price advantages for volume purchasing, Open programs provide a simple, cost-effective way to acquire the latest Microsoft technology. Microsoft Open programs offer the ability to add Online Services purchases to your agreement, so you can transition to the cloud at your own pace through your existing agreement.

Open Value

Open Value is the recommended program if you have a small to midsize organisation with five or more desktop PCs and want to simplify licence management, manage software costs, and get better control over your investment. It also includes Software Assurance, providing access to valuable benefits such as training, deployment planning, software upgrades, and product support to help boost the productivity of your entire organisation.

Open Value Subscription

Open Value Subscription provides the lowest up-front costs of the Open program options with the flexibility to reduce the total licensing costs in years when the desktop PC count declines. This option gives your organisation the rights to run the software throughout your organisation only during the term of the agreement with Microsoft. You also have the ability to add the single platform option to an Open Value Subscription agreement.

Open License

For many of our Online Service products, the five licence minimum initial purchase is waived.

Eligibility

With an initial purchase of five or more licences, you can acquire products as you need them over the term of your agreement.
