Driven by customer research, Microsoft Select Plus is for large organizations with multiple affiliates that want to acquire their software licenses and services at any affiliate level, while realizing advantages as one organization.Select Plus uses a single, organization-wide agreement that supports both centralized and decentralized purchasing of licensed products on an as-needed basis. The agreement never expires and allows for consistent, predictable pricing that simplifies budgeting for short- and long-term projects.With Select Plus, you will have far fewer agreements to track and manage. Because all affiliate purchases are tied to their own unique customer IDs, you will have a clear view of your entire license and software asset portfolio - either in a comprehensive report that contains all affiliates or an individual report that lets you drill down into a specific affiliate. New self-service tools also make it easier for you to register and access all the information that you need about your agreement. And there is no need to renegotiate and renew agreements every three years with Select Plus.Simple, automated, volume-based discounts are based on software license and services purchases across your entire organization, including purchasing affiliate locations. To help ensure that you receive the appropriate price level for greater volume purchasing, the price-level adjustment is based on actual purchase volume throughout the organization. You no longer need to wait for an anniversary date to achieve a better discount, as the order that puts your organization to the next price level instantly receives the correct discount set by your reseller.
