Enrollments for the Enterprise Agreement
The Enterprise Enrollments let you standardize on the familiar Microsoft tools you use every day, and move them beyond the desktop to equip devices
and users where they are needed.

Server and Cloud Enrollment


Server and Cloud Enrollment (SCE) is an enrollment under the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement that allows highly committed customers to standardize
broadly on one or more of the four Server and Cloud technologies from Microsoft. SCE offers the best pricing for customers who make an installed-base
wide commitment to one or more of Microsoft’s server and cloud technologies, with automatic access to Windows Azure and simplified licensing
management. The Server and Cloud Enrollment replaces the Enrollment for Application Platform (EAP) and the Enrollment for Core Infrastructure (ECI).

Online Services
One aim of the latest Enterprise Agreement and the Microsoft Products and Services Agreement is to support your deployment choices as you re-envision
the role of IT in cloud computing by allowing you to deploy Microsoft products on-premises, via the cloud, or in hybrid environments that combine cloud
services with on-premises software solutions. With its increased flexibility to license Microsoft Online Services such as Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft
Intune, the Enterprise Agreement and MPSA enable you to transition to these cloud services at your own pace.
