Your EA discounts are not gone, the guarantee is. A twenty minute session on the 2027 Microsoft renewal: what actually changed, how to read E3, E5 and E7, whether Copilot is really your best AI tool, and how to put a number on Copilot Cowork consumption before you commit to it.
Microsoft retired the Enterprise Agreement for organisations under roughly two thousand four hundred users, removed the automatic volume discount levels that came with your pricing band, and moved list prices again in July 2026. Those three land on the same renewal, which is why a 2027 EA feels worse than any single announcement suggests.
The most misunderstood part is the discount. The discounts are not gone. The guarantee is gone. The automatic component that arrived with your EA level has been removed, and everything that was always negotiated on top, which was always the larger number, is still there. Level A customers were landing five to twelve percent off list with a negotiated top end near fifteen; Level D fifteen to thirty percent, and forty at real scale. The gap between the typical band and the top end is preparation, not volume.
The session then works through the SKU ladder, where E7 lists at a hundred to a hundred and twenty dollars against E5 at fifty seven, and where sixty five to eighty percent of the incremental value sits inside the bundled Copilot entitlement. It closes on Copilot Cowork, which is metered in credits rather than licensed per seat, with a worked model of what five hundred users actually costs and why the heavy task tier, not headcount, decides the budget.
Every line jumps the player to that point.
The model. Redress Compliance works on contingency. You negotiate with the vendor first. When you have gotten everything you can get, bring the deal to Redress and we take 25 percent of what we save you beyond your best number. Nothing saved, nothing paid. Talk to us.
