Azure Licensing

Azure Licensing

Crayon’s licensing experts work with partners to ensure they are enabled to position the best licensing arrangements for their customers.

For example, a customer on a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) may get greater advantage by working with indirect reseller partners to acquire Azure solutions through the Microsoft CSP program.

As Microsoft’s Azure Expert MSP Partner, Crayon can execute EA to CSP migration as a billing change. This removes the need for technical migration or downtime* and has no impact on your business operations. We also offer partners a range of complementing services to help optimise Microsoft cloud & hosting windows environments.

Additionally, partners can make use of Azure Portal tools such as Azure Advisor and Azure Cost Management, Azure Auto-scaling to optimise their clients’ Azure services.
