As Windows Server 2003 is fast approaching end of support from 15th July 2015, some customers face challenges in migrating to the modern Windows Server 2012 platform and/or cloud solutions such as Office 365 and Azure.
Many customers have restricted budget and need help to tackle the cost and physical challenges such as migration, new software, hardware and application compatibility that come with upgrading platforms, so here at Microsoft, we have designed a new payment solution ModernBiz Accelerator to support your customers as they move from WS2003 that will run up until 30th June 2015.
How does it work?
Depending on which agreement your customer chooses to take out, they will only pay 1% for the first 3 or 6 months of an agreement (T&C's apply) when they upgrade from WS2003 to WS2012 via a Microsoft Open Licence. If your customer chooses to upgrade to WS2012 only, this special rate will last for the first 3 months. If your customer chooses to also add a cloud product such as Office 365 or Microsoft Azure, they can take advantage of having the special rate of 1% for 6 months.
