SPECIALISED SERVICES BY BUI

Let us help you make the most of your technology investments

EA to CSP

Get more flexibility, simplified billing, and expert guidance from a dedicated cloud partner when you switch from a traditional Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) to a Cloud Solution Provider model with BUI. Enjoy a seamless transition, with minimal disruption to your operations, enabled by our award-
winning team.

An Enterprise Agreement (EA) is a volume licensing agreement designed for large organisations, allowing them to purchase and license Microsoft software and Azure cloud services for a set period of time. Traditionally, EAs require customer commitment upfront and include limited technical support from Microsoft.

The Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) model is an alternative to the EA. With CSP, customers can add or remove licences as required, pay for what is used on a month-by-month basis, and streamline their licensing management with the help of a Microsoft Partner specialising in Microsoft cloud technology.

Microsoft has announced that, effective 1 January 2025, certain customers with cloud EAs are no longer eligible for renewals under the existing EA framework. Instead, Microsoft is shifting enterprise customers toward the Microsoft Customer Agreement for Enterprise (MCA-E) and encouraging small and midsize organisations to explore the MCA-E and the CSP model as alternatives. The CSP model offers several advantages, including:

  • Cost efficiency. Customers can manage their IT budgets more effectively with transparent pricing and predictable monthly expenses.
  • Simplified billing. Customers receive a tailored monthly invoice for licences, services, and Azure usage, which means an all-in-one view of IT costs.
  • More flexibility. Customers have the freedom to adjust their licensing strategies to support their business growth and fluctuating user demand.
  • Streamlined management. Customers can purchase licences, adjust licence quantities, and view consumption data in the BUI Self-Service Portal.

Licensing Compliance

At BUI, we recognise the critical role that software licensing compliance plays in protecting your business and network operations. Using unlicensed software can lead to significant risks, including potential legal action and expensive fines. Compliance audits can also disrupt your business operations and damage your reputation. Therefore, maintaining software license compliance is not only a legal obligation, but also a good business practice.

Our team of experts has the knowledge and experience to help you manage your software assets and ensure that you are in compliance with all licensing agreements. We can provide guidance on the various software licensing options and recommend the best licensing model for your specific needs.

Our services cover a wide range of software vendors, including Microsoft, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, and more.

Managing high-value software assets is difficult for two reasons:
  • the increasing complexity of software licensing agreements
  • the lack of understanding of the regulations relating to Software Licensing Compliance

Don’t let licensing compliance become a headache for your business – contact us today to learn how we can help you manage your high-value software assets with ease and confidence.

Security Assessments

Businesses that lack deep insights into their overall security posture are at an increased risk of cyberattacks and data breaches. Cyberthreats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and frequent, leaving businesses vulnerable to potential financial losses, reputational damage, and other serious consequences.

At BUI, we offer security assessments to help businesses identify vulnerabilities and take proactive steps to improve their overall security posture. Security Assessments are usually done on a monthly or even weekly basis in some cases. These are done to make sure the website or web-based program is still in compliance with passing security requirements to meet the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) or your web admin and industry standard compliance.

Our experienced professionals conduct in-depth assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities in IT systems and networks, which can protect user confidentiality, sensitive data, system resources, and more. We provide detailed reports on our findings and recommendations, allowing businesses to make informed decisions and take proactive steps to mitigate potential threats.

Don’t leave your business’s security to chance – contact BUI today to learn more about our security assessments and how we can help protect your business from potential cyber threats.
