New licensing and enhancement plan adds simplicity and value, and delivers on the Microsoft Dynamics road map, providing a compelling and consistent way for partners to sell and customers to acquire solutions for the “People-Ready Business.”

Microsoft Corp. today announced the Business Ready Licensing model and the Business Ready Enhancement Plan for Microsoft Dynamicsâ„¢ that introduces simplifications and improvements in value to the licensing and maintenance programs for its Microsoft Dynamics business management solutions.

Business Ready Licensing streamlines pricing for Microsoft Dynamics solutions — Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics SL — by moving from a pricing model based on hundreds of modules and granules to a new model based primarily on the number of concurrent users who actually use the software. This new model has three simple offerings: Microsoft Dynamics Business Essentials, Microsoft Dynamics Advanced Management and Microsoft Dynamics Advanced Management Enterprise. They are based primarily on common functionality and represent a price reduction for a typical entry-level configuration, eliminating much of the complexity of licensing enterprise resource planning software. Designed to increase value for customers through the life of their product solution, the new Enhancement Plan represents a global maintenance program for Microsoft Dynamics solutions and introduces new benefits such as transition investment credits, unlimited online training courses for customers, and resources to connect customers with the Microsoft Dynamics community.

Business Ready Licensing and Enhancement Plan provide customers with a compelling way to increase the value of their investments in Microsoft® technology, lower the entry barrier to Microsoft Dynamics solutions, enhance customer productivity and evolve with the life of their business, providing increased confidence in their choice and enabling them to realize the full potential of their Microsoft Dynamics solution.

“Business Ready Licensing and Enhancement Plan enable us to bring more value to our customers while streamlining our offerings,” said Tami Reller, corporate vice president of the Business Solutions marketing group at Microsoft. “These new programs further enhance an industry-leading track record of delivering solutions for the People-Ready Business and our continued commitment to give partners and customers increased value and flexibility to meet their specific business needs.”
