Microsoft announced the staggered payment option for software purchases in India through its Open Value Licensing (OVL) program.The program, designed especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), will enable SMBs to spread their payments for software solutions over a 3-year period rather than make an upfront payment.
It would also simplify software license management and allow automatic access to upgrades of latest products and ease of use, affordability and productivity along with allowing flexible payment optionsOpen Value not only offers an easy payment option to help the SMB community overcome 'pricing pressures', but also protects the customer from product price fluctuations during the license period.
During the 3-year period, OVL also provides Software Assurance, a feature that allows access to valuable benefits such as training, IT planning, software upgrades and product support.Open Value is designed for organizations with 5 or more PCs and allows companies to enter into a single licensing agreement for as many desktops or servers as they consider necessary. Customers can pay in 3 annual instalments, and also choose to increase the number of licenses purchased at any given point in time, thus allowing them to accommodate business fluctuations without the burden of over-investing in IT.
