nickwhit — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 23:48:22 GMT

That's great...

But how about allowing European companies like mine to order for my American customers!

Select agreement is too big for my customer, and OVS does not allow out of area purchases..

Feel free to email me if I am being given wrong information!

We've had OVSL here in the UK for several years now... we operate exclusively in the SMB space and have pushed this licensing model heavily in the last 12-18 months in particular.

It has both pro's and con's (What doesnt)...

From a pro perspective it enables clients to budget, to plan and manage costs more effectively, to avoid the 3 yearly capital expenditure 'bump'. It enables you as the outsourced IT dept to use deploy the latest software to your client using Volumn Licenses and all the nice tools that go with that.

From a 'con' perspective... it is expensive I think.. given the potential long term buy in of this model it is appalling that Microsoft give you virtually no discount vs other llicensing models. The renewals process whilst generous (you can buy 10 core cals and add 10 PC's a week later but not pay for them until next year) is onerous. And finally the backend distributor support for this model is still weak.

Overall we personally like it, I discuss it with every new client, and I would think that 80% end up using it. I just wish MS would be more realistic in pitching it.

mssmallbiz — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 18:28:00 GMT

@ Jerry - The final OVS pricelist will be published in February, so we'll know with 100% certainty then; however, based on what I have seen to date, I am pretty confident that Dynamics CRM will be included in OVS.
