Ligentia had been purchasing their licencing directly with Microsoft using a credit card because they had previously used a partner. Doing it this way meant there were limits to the number of licences purchased. It also meant that Ligentia was not benefitting from any partner discounts.
Claritas gets access to the New Commercial Experience (NCE) that was introduced by Microsoft last year, a change to how customers purchase and manage their licences through their Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Program. This reduces complexity and provides cost savings for long-term commitments. Whilst also introducing additional features to make their CSP a comparable alternative to the longstanding Enterprise Agreement (EA). Without this, Ligentia was spending a lot of valuable time bogged down in admin tasks, taking them away from other IT issues.
