MS Empower Initiative
The topic is not an attempt to ignite another war of supporters of paid or free software and is addressed to those who need Microsoft software products, including development tools.
Since this topic has not yet been discussed at Habré, I think many will be useful and interesting.
It is no secret that the relevant departments of law enforcement agencies in the past few months (and somewhere even years) have dramatically stepped up their work in catching and bringing to justice organizations that use unlicensed software. The main software-bait in this hunt, of course, is the production of the industry leader.
Buy a set of Windows + Office costs, how easy it is to calculate, in the amount of about 10 tr. on one workplace. If we consider the server operating system, the costs and even more. However, for many, MS Empower will save a lot of money and become useful.
Conditions are simple and clear.
A legal entity engaged in the production of software based on MS technologies and planning to release it in the near future can join the initiative. There are no special requirements for software.
Available:
What is needed for that?
1. Participate in the Microsoft Partner Program at the Registered Member Level
2. Have and maintain a website
3. Develop at least 1 replicable software product using MS technology.
4. Pay an annual membership fee of $ 420 (excluding VAT).
Under certain conditions, you can extend the participation for another year.
$ 420, even with VAT, is about 11,000 rubles. For Windows 5, Office, MS VS, SQL Server, SharePoint Portal, Exchange Server and one server operating system - almost for nothing.
At the moment I am with the representatives of the program in the correspondence, we’ll finish - I’ll tell you about the details if this topic isn’t.
