Microsoft 365 Fundamentals MS-900 Practice Question

Purchasing through a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) is the best option for organizations needing flexibility. CSPs offer monthly billing cycles and the ability to adjust license quantities as the organization's needs change.

Purchasing directly from Microsoft via a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) can offer monthly billing, but is often geared towards annual or multi-year commitments with less flexibility than CSP for scaling down.

Entering into an Enterprise Agreement (EA) is designed for large organizations (500+ users) committing to a multi-year term. While licenses can be added, they can typically only be reduced annually, offering less flexibility.

Purchasing through an Open Value agreement is a volume licensing program that provides rights to the latest software versions but generally involves a three-year agreement term and is less flexible for monthly adjustments compared to CSP.
