Qualified Desktops and Industry Devices in Microsoft Enterprise AgreementsMicrosoft Enterprise Agreement • November 30th, 2011
As we’ve discussed here before, Microsoft Enterprise Agreements (“EA”) can offer significant opportunities for large companies to enjoy both IT asset and management cost savings. However, many enterprise-level customers that fit into the target market for an EA have complex corporate environments that make a single one-size-fits-all agreement difficult to squeeze into. One of the tightest fits that complex corporate customers experience is when attempting to apply the standard EA definitions of Qualified Devices and Industry Devices (also referred to as Line-of-Business Devices) to their organizations. Essentially, the standard EA requires a business to purchase the same licenses for every desktop computer in the organization, unless that desktop computer meets the narrow definition of an Industry Device.
