Software Assurance (SA) Planning Services are designed to help guide customers through the deployment and business value planning stages of software implementation.

Become certified to deliver Planning Services and increase your solution opportunities! Offering these engagements to your customers opens doors to downstream deployment and Infrastructure Optimization (IO) services that will help grow your business.

Packaged Services engagements are conducted by certified partners who share best practices, analyze the customer's organizational environment, and help create comprehensive deployment and implementation plans.

Partners can be compensated by Microsoft to conduct engagements ranging from 1-15 days. Each offering provides the tools, training, and support to make engagements repeatable - lowering the cost of sales and delivery. « less
