The Microsoft Action Pack is an Invaluable Tool for IT Consultants, Small Shops and Anyone Else that Wants Cheap Microsoft Software
October 31st, 2009
Years ago Microsoft created a great program for it’s partners to allow them to use all Microsoft Software for $300 per year. They developed the Microsoft Action Pack that contains just about every piece of software that they sell, and includes enough licenses to use them for a small business.
Subscribers get 10 licenses for the latest business operating system, Office Professional and a number of other useful programs. On top of that you get copies of all the server software with a total of 10 CALs per server. You really do get all the Microsoft software you need to run your business.
The reason Microsoft does this is with the hope that the better you know their software the more of it you will sell. In addition to the software you get numerous pieces of marketing material that you can use on your clients, and they offer promotional programs to sell certain products.
All you need to do it become a Microsoft Partner. This is not hard to do. You just need to fill out a few web forms, and wait for them to accept you. Once you become a Microsoft Partner a number of opportunities open up to you like the Action Pack. Just follow their instructions and send them the current fee and you’ll have your hands on the software in no time.
They will initially send you one big shipment of all the current software, and then send out quarterly updates.
