Microsoft Licensing for the Not-for-Profit Sector

Licensing and Software Assurance often generate confusion and questions. To help our customers better understand the ins and outs of licensing and to make sure they are fully utilizing its benefits, CPR is offering a bi-monthly licensing “Breakfast Briefing”.

The intent of this month's 1 hour session is to review charity/not-for-profit licensing, the volume licensing programs available, and the benefits that accompany those programs. 501c3 companies have special allowances in cost and product offerings that differ from the corporate Microsoft customer. In addition, we will highlight some of those common challenges for charity/not-for -profit customers and ways that you can save tremendous dollars by ordering under the Microsoft Open Charity Program. CPR’s licensing specialist will host these sessions – group size is limited to the first 10 companies. The small group setting allows for group interaction, a Q&A time and an opportunity to have your individual questions answered.

Yes No
Do you have a data backup method?

Can you verify that your backup worked that the
copy of the data is intact?
Do your computer users save their files consistently in
a place that is being backup?
Is someone responsible for making sure media gets
rotated and brought off-an on-site periodically?
If your central file storage repository can’t be down
for more than a few hours, do you have a redundant
hard disk array on your server?
Are you regularly applying service packs?

If you answered no or are unsure about any of the above questions, CPR can help.

CPR has developed a comprehensive Backup Assessment offering that provides an analysis and documentation of your current backup environment and a comparison to the latest enterprise class backup technologies and techniques. Clients are provided with a report that documents the strengths and weaknesses of their current backup solution and recommendations for growth and improvement. CPR’s Backup Assessment provides a solid foundation for IT planning and budgeting. The report can also serve as a powerful tool in gaining management support for upgrading a vulnerable backup environment.

If you need to validate critical data can be retrieved in the event of a failed storage device contact the CPR Customer Support Center or your Account Manager to see if you are a good candidate for a Backup Assessment.

Do not hesitate! Downtime due to data loss or unavailability will have a significant impact on business operations – whatever the size of your business!
