Microsoft Volume Licensing — Consulting Assessment

Microsoft Volume Licensing is a free 1-day consulting assessment that helps an organization choose the right Microsoft licensing program. The service is designed to help you get maximum value from Microsoft software and Online Services while staying properly licensed and better prepared for licensing reviews or audits.

The prerequisites are at least one legal business entity and an intent to purchase at least five products. The service suits organizations of any size that want help choosing among Microsoft volume licensing programs before buying or renewing.

The assessment is free. Any Microsoft licenses, subscriptions, or renewals you decide to buy are quoted separately for review before purchase — IT Partner sells Microsoft subscriptions at Microsoft's published list prices, the same price as buying direct.

The assessment is listed as a 1-day engagement. The end-to-end purchasing timeline depends on how quickly requirements are provided, proposals or quotes are reviewed, payment is completed, and any installation or activation steps are handled.

The included deliverable is a consulting assessment to help you choose the right Microsoft licensing program. The page states that IT Partner will help source the correct product, volume licensing program, and price level; track renewals and license entitlements with its IT Asset Management service; and monitor tier pricing adjustments.

Software deployment, installation, or remediation work beyond the post-order installation and activation help described in the process is not included, and neither are audit defense, formal legal compliance certification, or third-party (non-Microsoft) licensing unless separately agreed.

The engagement starts when you contact IT Partner and explain your needs by email, phone, or chat. IT Partner then uses that information to prepare a proposal and/or quote, allows you to request changes or adjustments, and proceeds through invoicing, payment, order receipt, and license installation or activation if needed.

The service itself is a free consulting assessment, not a bundled license purchase. If you decide to buy Microsoft products or subscriptions, IT Partner will provide proposal and/or quote information for review before invoicing and payment.

Yes, the service is aligned with choosing the right Microsoft licensing program and references Microsoft’s Software Assurance overview as a helpful resource. Whether Software Assurance is appropriate for your organization depends on your licensing goals, so IT Partner should confirm the best fit during the assessment.

After the assessment, you should have guidance and a proposal or quote to help you select the appropriate Microsoft volume licensing program. If you proceed, the next steps are invoice and payment, receiving the order, and installing or activating software licenses if needed.

The page lists tracking renewals and license entitlements with its IT Asset Management service as an area where IT Partner will help. Because the page does not define the scope, pricing, or duration of that IT Asset Management service, you should confirm whether it is included in the 1-day assessment, optional, or separately contracted.

Yes, the implementation plan states that financing is available at the invoice and payment step. The terms, eligibility, and approval process are not specified in the service description, so they should be confirmed with IT Partner when reviewing the quote.
