Features
Flexibility
This is probably the biggest benefits to our customers. You only pay for what you want or use. In the case of Office 365, say you had 700 Office 365 licenses and wanted to step that up by 50 licenses for a project or peak in business and drop it again two months later you can. You will be billed in a completely logical way that follows your license usage.
Monthly Billing
Each month you will receive a bill for the Microsoft 365 licenses you are using and/or the Azure consumption you have used.
No need to use your credit card anymore. If you do want annual billing, just let us know.
No up-front billing
There are no up-front licensing costs
Strong SLAs
By procuring through a Microsoft CSP, you will be gaining access to Microsoft’s strong service level agreement which defines the crucial aspects of the service like responsibility, quality and availability between the service provider and the customer.
Local Support
As a CSP provider we would be the point of contact and receive your support calls in relation to the service. We would look to triage these calls and pass onto Microsoft if required. As your CSP partner we are the point of contact in case of a problem (technical and billing & subscription support). Do speak to us about our enhanced cloud support cloud support services offering which really complements CSP
Licensing Support
You can have one partner looking after all your Microsoft cloud licenses and drawing on our expertise and skills to enable you to maximise the benefits of your investment
Discounts

Potential discounts from RRP are dependent on the wrap around services you are procuring from us

If you are new to CSP read our FAQ
Will I still maintain Admin Control?
Yes, as the owner of your Microsoft tenant, you have full admin control over your Office 365 tenancy and Azure subscriptions
Can I migrate existing Azure Services to CSP Azure?
Yes, we will first need to undertake a review of your environment to understand if there are areas that will not easily move e.g. Backup Vaults and Express Route. We then schedule some engineering time to move you to the new subscription. This would all aim to be performed without loss of service. We would obviously discuss options for items that are not so easily moved between Azure subscriptions
Who will invoice me?
tecnologika will invoice you monthly. We are invoiced indirectly from Microsoft on a monthly basis for all the CSP spend attributable to our customers. We just take this data and generate an invoice for your specific spend.
Do I need to sign any agreements?
Yes, you will need to sign our cloud service agreement, which in turn means you are agreeing to Microsoft’s Cloud Agreement.
Can I license my on-premises licenses via CSP?
tecnologika can also provide “Perpetual Licensing” as part of our Microsoft CSP agreement to help customers license on-premise requirements
Can I see billing information in Azure ARM portal?
This is dependant on the type of Azure subscription you have. Azure ‘Legacy’, no. Azure Plan, yes. However both types show full billing and consumption data within our separate MyCloudPortal.
Can I change CSP provider?
Yes, you are free to transfer to any other provider of your choice, but we hope the other services tecnologika are offering and delivering are a good reason to stay.
Can I leave CSP?
Yes, as it is a monthly subscription you can enter in any month of the calendar year and stop at any time.
Remember, CSP gives you the flexibility to alter your subscription, in numbers and services, per month.
Will access to my tenancy or subscription be terminated if I do not pay my bill?
Ultimately yes. Clearly, we all want to avoid this situation.
We follow normal processes to retrieve the money for services provided, but we are within our rights
to terminate if your invoices are not being paid in a timely manner.
We provide professional services to ensure smooth, worry-free migration and help you achieve ROI on your licenses.
