Where the common advice on Microsoft EA renewals is wrong

The standard advice from Microsoft's partner channel is that the cleanest EA is one with everyone on E5 and Copilot fully rolled out, with a long term Azure MACC sized on the strategic forecast. We disagree. In roughly three out of four enterprise renewals we have benchmarked, that posture costs the buyer 18 to 32 percent more than a tiered E3 base with selective E5 add ons, a quarantined Copilot cohort, and a MACC sized on trailing twelve month run rate.
