Understanding the Changes
Recommendations
We are a Microsoft Gold Partner! The value of our Microsoft Gold Partner status to our clients lies in the guarantee of professional expert support and it is the highest level a Microsoft Partner can reach. As we continue to develop the expertise of our staff and provide total satisfaction for our clients, we are proud to celebrate this achievement and excited to continue to build upon our experience and knowledge.
We recommend clients work with a Microsoft Gold Partner like Verity IT to identify and use a blend of long-term and short-term commitments to suit their specific licensing needs for employees.
While many are accustomed to a constantly changing Microsoft licensing landscape, the impact of NCE will require an even more extensive effort for both the client and partner to navigate together. It is important to have a trusted Microsoft partner like Verity IT in your corner helping your organization navigate these changes.
Verity IT will be contacting all current clients during the first quarter of 2022 to discuss the upcoming Microsoft licensing program and term changes. Our goal, as your IT partner, is to ensure each client is setup to operate within the new Microsoft licensing program that best aligns to their business needs.
