We right size the EA across plans and bundles, control the true up, and prepare every renewal. Your side only. Year round program.
The Microsoft EA Preparation Playbook: The Work That Wins the Renewal
Five workstreams in order: the license position, the usage file, the demand forecast, the benchmark and alternatives files, and the ask list drafted before Microsoft drafts theirs, with the executives aligned before the first meeting.
Pick the option that matches your posture. Fixed Fee for a single optimization cycle. Vendor Shield for continuous always on EA governance across the multi year term.
Plan drift visible. Bundle overlap unmapped. True up approaching. Renewal twelve months out. We start where you are.
One letter a month. Negotiation moves, audit signals, and price book shifts.
