Open Value and Open Value company-wide

With Open Value, you can consolidate the software needs of your company and its affiliates within the European Union and EFTA countries under a central contract. Open Value contracts have a three-year term, unlike Open License. Software licenses under this model are only available with Software Assurance.

Entry into the Open Value program is possible with as few as five licenses, while the Open Value company-wide option can be completed with five qualified devices. License costs under Open Value are generally divided into annual payments. This means you can keep initial costs low with Open Value, without incurring interest charges.

Open Value is available in two variants:

• Open Value as a model for licensing individual software needs
• Open Value company-wide as a model for desktop standardization
• Desktop standardization means that the company chooses to implement and use a uniform technology platform on personal computers.
