Direct Microsoft Enterprise Agreements are signed between Microsoft and the customer with a Software Advisor authorized as Microsoft Licensing Solution Partner (LSP). A Licensing Solution Partner (LSP) is a Microsoft Partner who is named as the Partner of record in Microsoft Enterprise agreements consisting of Enterprise Agreement (EA) enrollments, Enterprise Subscription Agreement (EAS) enrollments, or Server and Cloud Enrollments (SCE). This Microsoft Licensing Solution Partner (LSP) acts as a Software Advisor, consults your organization concerning Microsoft licensing and negotiates with Microsoft to get you the best offer for your EA.

Out of the 400.000+ Microsoft Partners worldwide, only ~100 partners are LSPs, meaning 0.025%. Hence, most of the Microsoft Partners talking about Microsoft licensing cannot actually manage or sell solutions through Enterprise Agreements and Microsoft Products and Services Agreements (MPSA). They can only sell through the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program, restricting them and their customers, and making them biased towards that licensing program. They cannot and will not provide you with the most optimized licensing scenario possible.

As LSP, SCHNEIDER IT MANAGEMENT is authorized to advise, manage and sell solutions across all Microsoft licensing programs. This way, we make sure you benefit from the best licensing configuration across licensing programs at all times!

Yes. Consistent communication is crucial for success. We typically set up regular check-in meetings (i.e. monthly) with your team. In these sessions, we review your current licensing status, discuss any changes in your organization that might affect licensing, and share our latest optimization recommendations. We will also plan ahead for upcoming milestones (like renewals or new product needs). These meetings ensure everyone stays aligned and up to date, issues or opportunities are identified early and you have a live touchpoint to ask questions.

Besides regular meetings, you can always ask questions via email or request meetings and get qualified answers from your dedicated Account Manager.

Absolutely. We provide regular reports (monthly or quarterly, based on your preference) that give you a clear snapshot of your Microsoft licensing environment. These reports detail your license inventory across licensing programs, upcoming renewal dates, or important changes in license terms. Alongside the reports, we send proactive alerts if there is something that needs your attention between reporting periods (such as a new Microsoft promotion or a critical product lifecycle update that could affect you). This way, we make sure you understand your current licensing state and can make informed decisions well in advance.
