There’s a new BIG EASY offer coming in January, here’s the highlights of it as well as a link to the upcoming Webcast on January 8th that will provide all the details for you.
Dear Microsoft Partner,
We’re excited to announce our latest promotion, The Big Easy Offer 4.0 launching on January 3, 2010. As part of the new release, we’re making some changes to familiar elements of the promotion: more focus on and richer benefits for Open Value, a new payout level for purchase from three or more product groups, and simpler product grouping.
Customers can earn partner subsidy funds when they make a qualifying purchase. There are three factors that determine the size of your customer’s subsidy:
1. First, the number of product groups purchased. There are 11 groups that customers can purchase. Solutions typically include two or more product groups. Customers can earn a larger subsidy when purchasing from two product groups and even more when purchasing from three or more product groups.
2. Second, the way customers buy. Buying licenses from the Open Value program that includes Software Assurance with new version rights, helps customers get the most from their software investment and increases your customers’ subsidy per license.
3. Third, the specific editions of the products your customers select. Buying advanced, premium or Enterprise editions increases your customers’ subsidy per license.
Please review the Big Easy Offer 4.0 Terms and Conditions on January 3, 2010 at http://www.MicrosoftIncentives.com/bigeasy.
