Retention and security of your Microsoft customers Migrating from Microsoft Open Licensing plans to the Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP) programme makes sense for both you and your end-user customers – for lots of reasons. Most important of all, moving to CSP will ensure that you retain your customers and secure their subscription income for the long-term. CSP is Microsoft’s fastest- growing licensing model and offers resellers and end users the ability to manage their cloud licences in more efficient and flexible ways that are more suited to their business needs. For Microsoft software licensing, CSP is the future and it makes sense to move your Microsoft Open Licensing customers as soon as possible. That way, you secure their business and build up a flow of regular income. Depending on how you package CSP to your client, you can get paid every month for every active user subscription. There is no need to pay up-front for the duration of a licence agreement as required under Open Licensing, which really helps to smooth out cashflow. CSP provides your customers with more scalable and flexible cloud licences, so they can increase user numbers at almost any time. There is no need to allow for what they might need in the next few months. With CSP, you will find it easier to wrap-up other cloud solutions and managed services offerings into one complete package for your clients. You can create your own unique proposition, of which Microsoft cloud solutions offered under CSP are just one part. It puts you in control. You can offer the full range of Microsoft Cloud Solutions under CSP, including Exchange Online, Office 365, Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, Visio and Azure. Any customers running these applications or services under Open Licensing today, can be transitioned quickly and easily to CSP. It does not matter whether your clients are large enter- prises or small businesses – organisations of all sizes can benefit by moving to CSP. This is an important point in fact – they will always have up-to-date, secure, compliant software and there is no need to actively monitor and manage licences any more. By moving them to CSP, you’ll be helping them to get all these benefits and thus enhance your reputation as a trusted partner and advisor with them.
