Is This Service Right for You?
If any of the following situations sound familiar, this service was built for you.
01

You're negotiating an EA renewal or new Enterprise Agreement

Microsoft EA renewals are high-stakes, high-complexity negotiations. Without independent benchmarks and strategy, you'll accept Microsoft's anchor pricing — which is typically 25-40% above achievable rates.

02

You're evaluating Azure commitments or MACC agreements

Microsoft Azure Committed Use Discounts (MACC) look attractive but come with complex burn-down requirements and limited flexibility. We help you structure commitments that match your actual consumption patterns.

03

You're expanding M365 or Copilot licensing

Microsoft is aggressively pushing M365 E5 upgrades and Copilot add-ons. We evaluate whether these upgrades deliver real value for your organization — or just increase Microsoft's revenue.

Our Approach
We don't just analyze. We arm you — with data, leverage, and control.

Deal Assessment & Benchmarking

We analyze Microsoft's proposal against our global database of Enterprise Agreement transactions. You'll know exactly where pricing is inflated and what discounts are achievable.

Negotiation Strategy & Playbook

We develop a tailored negotiation strategy — pricing targets, concession priorities, walkaway positions, and competitive alternatives. Every tactic is designed for your specific deal dynamics.

Direct Negotiation Support

We can advise your team behind the scenes or join Microsoft discussions directly — challenging proposals, presenting counter-offers, and driving toward better outcomes.

Contract Review & Redlining

We review every agreement element — pricing schedules, true-up mechanisms, co-term provisions, Azure commit terms, and flexibility clauses. No hidden traps, no surprises at true-up.

Microsoft proposed a $35M EA renewal — a 28% increase over our current agreement. Redress Compliance benchmarked every SKU, identified competitive alternatives for key workloads, and led our negotiation. Final deal: $24.5M with significantly better flexibility. Incredible value.
