15 Evidence Whether driven by consolidating licenses or implementing a key business solution, an Enterprise Agreement is often a significant change for a customer. Financially, it represents a large cash outlay and a longer-term commitment to Microsoft. Microsoft Payment Solutions are ideal for customers considering a new Enterprise Agreement who need to: Spread payments to free cash flow or conserve capital Align payments with budgets/fiscal years [Insert logos]

16 Evidence Companies with Enterprise Agreements need to renew their agreements every three years. Customers may look to add new products but don’t have the budget; may consider delaying their renewal due to budgetary or other financial considerations; or may not be aware of the benefits of renewing early 1. Microsoft Payment Solutions are ideal for customers renewing an Enterprise Agreement who need to: Spread payments to free cash flow or conserve capital Align payments with budgets/fiscal years 1 Early renewal may help provide an immediate reduction in current year’s payments, flexible payments over four years aligned to licensing options, early lock-in of renewal pricing, sustained progress on their long- term IT roadmap, and the ability to upgrade more easily and add new products and/or consulting services to an existing contract at any time [Insert logos]

17 Evidence The yearly True-up provides an opportunity to monetize deployments resulting from up-selling or cross- selling activities that have occurred over the prior year. This can result in unbudgeted expenses, leading to difficult discussions, potential CPE issues, and delays of other projects. Microsoft Payment Solutions are ideal for customers who need to True-up their Enterprise Agreement: Pay for unplanned (unbudgeted) license purchases Retain budget for other IT investments/projects [Insert logos]

18 Evidence One of the biggest challenges for IT departments is how to fund new projects and upgrades, especially when they occur out of budget cycles. This can result in project delays and sub-optimal IT utilization as projects get bunched around budgets. Microsoft Payment Solutions are ideal for customers who need to fund new projects and who need to: Pay for unplanned license purchases OR are considering delaying projects due to budget cycles Consolidate license administration with existing agreements [Insert logos]

19 Evidence Services can often be the difference between a customer’s success and failure. The problem is that costs often get front-loaded before benefits are realized, reducing project ROIs. Microsoft Payment Solutions helps resolve this dilemma by enabling customers to align payments with benefits; or simply defer payments to future budget cycles. This lets your customer start your project earlier. Microsoft Payment Solutions are ideal for customers who require professional services and need to: Map payments to deployment to improve project ROI Start critical projects but defer costs to future budget cycles Consolidate services costs with existing agreements [Insert logos]

41 True-up is the annual checkpoint for a customer’s year over year growth in deployment during the course of an Enterprise Agreement. EA customers can start using software covered by their EA, and disclosing these deployments in their yearly True-up report. This saves the customer time and consolidates orders for new licenses as one annual order. Maximize the impact by engaging 6 months prior to True-up to position the right solution, add more of the stack and premium products, and minimize discounting. Include with the very first CPS.
