John Kyrle High School chose to transfer to the new Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES) Agreement with OP Software when their previous Microsoft School Enrolment expired.
On renewal, they saved a total of £8075.18** ex VAT compared to the purchase of the same product under their 2010 School Agreement renewal.
How does EES work?
Under EES, organisations can now license Microsoft products based on the number of faculty/staff (Full Time Equivalent) employees in the organisation rather than all of their eligible PCs.
As of the 22nd October 2011, there will be some changes made to Microsoft® Licensing and the way you upgrade your volume license.
Windows® Vista™ Home Basic will no longer be sold as of the 22nd October 2011, meaning it cannot be purchased as the qualifying base license. Windows® 7 Home Premium will be the new qualifying base license that will need to be purchased from the 22nd October onwards.
Microsoft’s Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES) Subscription Licensing Program is available to Primary, Secondary and Further/Higher Education Organisations. Under EES, organisations can license Microsoft products based on the number of faculty/staff (Full Time Equivalent*) employees in the organisation rather than all of their eligible PCs (which is the case with Microsoft’s School Enrolment).
As a result, many organisations can achieve significant savings by moving to or starting on EES.
Key benefits of EES include:-
- One annual payment for all software at academic prices
- Access to the most current version of licensed software
- Ability to downgrade to an earlier version of software
For more information on how these changes will affect you please contact OP Software on 0844 288 1 288 or by email enquiries@opsoftware.net
**This is based on:
- 137 FTEs declared under their EES versus 600 devices declared under their 2010 School Enrolment renewal.
- Purchase of Microsoft’s Professional Desktop Platform Suite (consisting of Windows 7 Enterprise upgrade, Office Professional Plus 2010 and Microsoft Core CAL suite).
- OP Software’s June 2011 OVS-ES pricing.
