Introduction
Microsoft’s Enterprise Agreement (EA) is used by nearly every large Microsoft customer — but most are overpaying.
Why?
Inflexible contract terms
Complex licensing bundles
Poor visibility into usage
True-ups that increase spend
Hidden renewal risks
Redress Compliance helps organizations take control of their Microsoft EA strategy — optimizing costs, managing renewals, and negotiating favorable terms.
We provide independent, vendor-free advisory.
